H.A.R.D.C.O.R.E.

Actually just saw a post about shoulder stretches.. I'll have to check out the DC stuff. it's insane how much you can keep learning about fine tuning your work out..I started working out over 15 years ago. I have always known stretching ya important right? My recovery time is really long.. almost 7 days..I'm sitting here reading all this stretching...Pops into my head...Stretch more heal faster! Is this some white house secret? Whatever I'm dumb I know but just one of those light comes on moments.

That reminds me SL I need to seriously intensify my LB training rather than just letting it "keep up" with the squat routine...

wat up boys!
just got back from the movies witrh da wifey. Body of Lies is amazing!

hows it going boys!!

Adrenaline try to get some Hatha Yoga classes those are helpful, also chi kung and Tao yin.

This is my new favorite shoulder stretch. Make sure you show this one to OneBreath.

SL, I just started deadlifting again because my knees are completely healed from my restling injuries...
I go good morning sometimes, hyperextensions all the time
I have a pretty strong core from martial arts...

Alc its because you back and stabilizers are not caught up to your legs, i have the same problem except i can squat more then 405

How do you get over that Big_BK?

Alc- when i was training more for PL I hammered my low back/abds almost every training session.

Roman Chair Hyper extensions (weighted)
45 degree back extensions (weighted)
Good Mornings
Deadlifts (most important and beneficial imo)
Heavy side bends
Pull down Abds
Pikes, knees to elbows, hanging leg raises etc
Full contact twists


My old gym had two reverse hypers and a pro GHR. Anyone that has used either of these machines knows how great they are. I would do light Reverse hypers before all my upper body work and as an accessory lift on my lower body days. These will make your low back/glutes/hams bullet proof.

Sai,
Cool...you wouldnt happen to know where i can read about the breathing techniques while stretching.
If not its cool...on my way to work...I'll try reading up on it tomorrow

adrenaline by doing that stretch the antagonists are still relaxed.

I do stretch in between sets sometimes, but I really prefer doing extreme stretch after weights or on my rest days.

The way I do stretch comes from martial arts and yoga because I also use some breathing techniques to be able to stretch even more, for example while doing the stretch exhale smoothly and I guarantee that you will feel the tension going away.
