Someone give me the secret tip for removing super tight pedals!

I've got my pedal wrench, I know the left pedal is reverse thread, tried holding the opposite pedal down with my foot, but I can't get them off. These are the ones that the shop installed when I got the bike so I would think they greased them and didn't cross-thread them. Incidentally, these are the pedals that I'm blaming for my 2mph fall at MM Saturday night.

So, what's the trick to getting them off? I can't seem to generate enough leverage, don't want to round off the flats on the pedal or the wrench.

Help!

I have a mantra when things start getting tough, "James always wins."  

He always does (except when he loses spectacularly but he wins because he gets to go buy new stuff and new tools)

Sometimes I speak in tongues and make up my own curses when the spirit moves me -or I swear like Yosemite Sam.  Rassin' Frassin' varmit!!!
