Hey Chip, that was cool you stopped by my journal for encouragement. But seems you are doing pullups, I haven't made 1 yet. what do you mean by Pullups (negative only)??? On those hyperextensions, I never feel them in the legs either, but I was reading in one journal this guy was going past parallel on the way back up and that's when he felt it hit his legs. Well, I heard that was a great way to get injured, (going past parallel on way back up) so you must have good form on that one.
I will see you later......
-Amy

Thanks for the words of encouragement in my journal, dude. I train mostly for hypertrophy, but I'd like to do some cycles for strength. Looks like you do a lot of strength training, so I just may be hitting you up for some good tips in the future.

Thanks again,
Chip
