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?

Saibot...
I agree that you dont want to contract the antagonist mucle during a stretch...
I contract to pull out of the acutal stretch( a dead hang)....to give your shoulders a quick break...then repeat
I was taught that you hold a stretch for 10-15 seconds...let go...and repeat

would i benifit more by doing this stretch a different way?

The trick about a good stretch is being able to stretch the desired bodypart without contracting it's antagonist muscle... For example if you wanna stretch the hams your quads and knee caps should be relaxed... because if they are contracted the benefits are minimum.

I agree....usually it's becuase your core body strength is lacking

ironwings...
i seperated both my shoulders fighting....so i have to stretch and warm-up like crazy
the best one that i have....after youve done your typical stretches and rotations....
hang from a pull-up bar...let your shoulders relax in a total hang....and then contract your traps and shoulders for a few seconds at a time
this works awesome when your going to do anytype of heavy pulling movement ....youre warming up with your own body weight

*keeping your elbows straight while contracting

Adrenaline welcome to the group bro...

I dnt like leg presses for the folloing reason: i can leg press 1200 lbs but only squat 405 lbs....get my drift?

P.S. I need some more good shoulder stretches. Anybody have one?
