Denis Vasiliev Stretching Routine

Denis Vasiliev is a two-time World Champion in the Kettlebell Long Cycle. This video was taken in late May, 2010 in St. Petersburg, Russia, where here trains under IKSFA President and 9 time World Champion Sergey Rachinskiy. Denis has amazing flexibility, and he spends at least 15 to 20 minutes after each workout going through an intensive stretching program. He mainly focuses on the hips and legs. He believes that having a great stretching session can be even more important than having a great lifting session. His reasoning is that if he has a great lifting session, but a poor stretching session, he will recover less, sleep worse and not be ready to train as hard the next day. But if he has a poor training session (i.e. not meeting his goals) but has a great stretching session, his muscles will feel better, he will sleep great, and he will be able to train harder and better the next day. Denis is a member of the Russian National KB lifting Team, and is a coach for the IKSFA. www.iksfa.com
