Was hoping to get some feedback on these.  Thanks!

Nice work on your negatives, Caleb! Just remember to start with your support-leg straight. On your iM go ahead and use your hands a little bit more so that you can avoid piking your hips and arching your back. I recommend placing some yoga blocks underneath your hands so that you have more control over how much assistance you are giving yourself. Nice job so far!

Thanks Jeffrey!  These negative sets are real killers keeping the support leg straight after pumping out 5 of that side... makes for long sweaty sets!  Great suggestions re: blocks... so then ideally hands at hips on the im support?  thanks again

That's right, keep your hands close to your hips as you push up.
