Adrenaline welcome to the group bro... feel free to ask questions and post your workouts here
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
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.
I agree....usually it's becuase your core body strength is lacking
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.
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?
Today 04:02 PMBig_BK 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?
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.
