Extreme Stretching

[cmollick]

I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for extreme stretches other than the ones demonstrated on IM? I also saw a few that Shelby posted a while back but my search hasn't come up with any more than that.

Thanks,

C

DC stretches should be all u need.

those stretches should work, but what muscle groups did you exactly have in mind?

if you can go to the store and get a piece of rope about 4 feet long, you can use it really well to stretch your quads, hams, shoulders, calves etc, works like a charm, just loop it around your foot, itll let you do propriceptive neuromuscular facilitative stretching without a partner...

Could you elaborate further on that? Def. sounds interesting! I'm guessing that a tight muscle fascia will restrict growth, and that loosening it up will help?

SMR is huge in the NASM world. I have used it before on myself and some clients. From what I understand NASM resommends SMR followed by static stretching. Interesting stuff!
