Robbie, what are these extreme stretches? Latest I've read is it's advantageous to CONTRACT the working muscle/s between sets in a repeated 10 second hold, 5 second release sequence.

Hi John extreme stretching abit hard to explain will try and find a pic of them for chest I drop down into the deepist flye [with dumbells] and hold for 60 seconds

There's research that shows that stretching under load stimulates hypertrophy in test subjects. If you do it right it's very, VERY unpleasant. When Robbie was down here for the Brighton Vegan fayre we had a session & he got me doing extreme stretches, they hurt like hell!
By the way the term comes from the DC training protocol. The basics are once you finish doing a muscle group you end with a weighted stretch of that muscle, the extra fatigue means you wouldn't have to weight a muscle as much as you would if it was fresh, but the stretch, while you're pumped seems to encourage the myofascial sheath to stretch, therefore allowing the muscle to grow that much more quickly (at least that's one theory I've heard about it-there may well be others?)

Robbie introduced me to these as well and I have never looked back!

I am trained to stretch people out when personal training them.... done improperly can injure someone. The same goes when stretching one's self out via extreme stretching. Proper technique is important


Robbie - training looking good Babe!

Have to admit, D, I avoid stretching, definitely during resistance training. It doesn't feel conducive and it's so easy, when you're hyped up, to overdo it and tear a muscle that's already under considerable strain.
There's also the possibility that, over time, you'll loosen the joints too much.
I make sure I take the warm-up sets to full ROM to keep the limbs supple.
Read so many stats showing more injuries are caused by stretching then playing sport. Might work for some. I'm not a fan, sorry.

HOW TO CURE SHOULDER PROBLEMS (Trust me this will do it 90% of the time)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With a large towel or broomstick I want you to hold it with straight arms for the entire time of what i describe in the following movement--a large "rolled up like a rope" beach towel works good but honestly a longer broomstick (without the bristles) works best in my opinion. Start out with it with a really wide grip (with straight arms) in front of you (on your quads) and with straight arms bring it up and overhead and then down and back to the middle of your back--STRAIGHT ARMS ALL THE WAY--this is going to be very difficult and hard the first couple times out and then will be "old hat" with time----and its going to be painful in a stretching pump kind of way---i want 50 reps each time you do this--one repetition is from in front of your face (all with straight arms) to up overhead and back, and then down all the way to the middle of your back and then back up overhead to in front of your face again (again all with straight arms)--the important part of the movement is the area overhead that is really tight--do all of this carefully/slowly---dont just whip it over and back---if your hand is slipping off the broomstick even with the widest grip, or you cant bring your arms over straight and the start bending on you, you have some serious shoulder inflexibility and need to work this hard and get up to speed (or you could just need a longer broomstick too)--again do all of these revolutions controlled and carefully--push into the stretch as you go along toward the 50 revolutions, your chest will be pushing outward and your shoulders rolling back--your shoulders are going to blow up with so much blood its going to be incredibly painfull pumpwise--Do this once a day at nite as many times a week as you can---sometimes I have people do it every single day---but every time you do it try to move your grip inward (thats the key)----its going to be very hard to do but try your best to move your grip inward for the next 2-4 weeks and your range of motion with shoulders will increase dramatically and any impingement and the majority of other problems should be gone in 2 weeks--also try to move your grip in as you are doing the 50 revolutions--start off with a stretching but relatively easy 10 to warm up some, then try to move your grip in even by a centimeter if you can for the next 20 revolutions and then at 30 try to move the grip in another centimeter--really try to push what you can do stretchwise once your warmed up here--trust me this sounds easy but your going to be muttering "fuck you robbie" after you get to your 25th revolution--Ive cured too many shoulder problems with this simple movement now its pretty ridiculous, and this and a menthol rub applied liberally daily and before sleep has cured alot of shoulder/bicepital tendonitis in trainees ----but remember the broomstick goes overhead and all the way back to the middle of the back )
