Open chest! (that's a stretch for the pectorals; [personal profile] adrian_turtle showed me a version with a rolled-up towel, but Emilie wants me to use the foam roll, which is significantly less comfortable)
The foam roll probably lifts your back quite a bit higher than the towel roll we were using, so that could explain why it was more challenging. I've also found that a bra, and self-consciousness, can make that type of stretch less comfortable for me. You might want to experiment with it at home, not just at the gym, now that you have your own foam roll.
