You don't want to lower it past that starting point; otherwise you are using your hip flexors to pull them back up to 90 degrees.
    Exactly, people use bad technique, I think people would be surprise with how much bad technique flows through this website. That's with anything involving working out, all about technique. So these guys that come on here and put it down are smoking crack. With the right technique it will blast ur abs big time.
