Make it a point to get to the gym.
You don't want to be right up on the tank. That forces you to use your (WEAKER) groin muscles.
Watch this and pay careful attention to what he's talking about in your hips.

From your last post, it appears to me you do have work to do on body position. Where you started out sounds to be more along the lines of correct because your knees and quads were getting tired from being used as additional suspension instead of being planted on your butt. Your first change of being closer to the tank, rotating around the tank, pressure on the bars? ALL wrong! There should be NO real pressure on the bars, you should feel like you can almost let go of them! But from the sounds of it you're lead back to better getting away from the tank but (it sounds like) you still need to get some of the weight off your butt and on the pegs again.
Granted I make it clear I'm not the most experienced and someone may come along and disagree, but the sorts of thing I'm suggesting are because I was told by a CR I needed to get my ass off the seat, and when it clicked, the result was REALLY CLEAR. There was a newly found sense of balance and control. But at the end of the first full day of this, my legs/knees were NOT happy! But that part gets better with conditioning.
