I can barely do 1 rep they are so hard and when I do negatives and keep tryin I can feel it so much in my abs. Not a lactic acid burn, but like the muscle is really gettin its ass kicked. The whole point of the exercise is to isolate the abs more by elminating a lot of use of the hip flexors, so you need some kind of device or a training partner to resist your hamstrings while doing the situp. Pavel Tsatsouline has come up with a device that does this (http://www.olusa.com/books/pavel/pavelizer.htm) , but I have made an effective setup here at the house using my own ideas. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
