looks good

[everybodysayyeah]

WOW! this worked! amazing!

[hereisthankappan]

can one do this resistance training and weight training at the same time ? how can a guy who does weight training 4 times a week incorporate the 16 resistance stretching into his schedule? I have read the book by Bob Cooley, but it barely mentions anything about this concept,anybody out there with some good advice ?

[DChillaxnig321]

im wondering the same thing

[flexiblestrength]

You would get more out of your weight training sessions if you spent more time stretching your muscles with resistance. The ability of a muscle to shorten is inversely related to its ability to elongate while contracting. So, in other words, you will get stronger as a result of RFST. You may want to spend two days a week RFST and two days weight training to notice the difference. Or, incorporate RFST in between your weight training sets, ie bicep curl, then bicep stretch, etc.

which book is it

[explosivegopher]

Oh. Haha. Thanks

[hereisthankappan]

Nigga this aint plagiarism , because Dara Torres is a studnet of Bob Cooley , who wrote the Genius of Flexibility !!!!

[GreenMountains1]

You are a dipshit.  Bob Cooley didn't invent it either. I say good for her for putting out a product that will expose people to more advanced training concepts in a language the average person can understand.

I read that Dara Torres just had shoulder surgery after competing in the Olympics.I'm surprised this stretching couldn't help her shoulder more considering she had 2 personal assistants helping her with it.

swimmings rough on your shoulders son

[TheTerminator1]

if you have proper stroke it really isnt.

[mohimohi1983]

she's got nice body.

[fresna08]

This was so helpful. Thank you. I recovered from an IT band injury this past year. This was perfect to add into my routine with running and leg routine.

reciprocal inhibition, neurology 101, creative application of common neurological principle, "Reciprocal inhibition describes muscles on one side of a joint relaxing to accommodate contraction on the other side of that joint."

[trisoma1]

Yes- that's one way of relieving cramps, too. (Contract opposing muscle.)

[jmckimmie3]

it's explaining how balancing muscle groups work to help each other get stronger or more flexible...Important concept to understand! I saw the Dara clip that used to be up (before the olympic blackout) and this dvd looks pretty good!

[trisoma1]

It shows what genes, training, and massage therapy can do. Now if she used Buteyko Breathing Therapy, she may not have to cheat with the asthma inhaler.

[ssquare35]

cheating is when you break the rules, she has a medical release, therefore there is no cheating involved.

[trisoma1]

You are correct, however I consider inhalants performance enhancing drugs that I would not want to use. Buteyko has a record of getting 85% of "asthma" patients off meds. I think that she just overbreathes, like many non-Russian athletes do.

[jameshuntapples]

didnt get it. maybe im stupid

[ssquare35]

chapters one and two would catch you up to speed.
