In the 2003 edition read pages 1 and 2 and then the Chapter 7, "Sample Workout Plans."

Hi Tom. Is it safe for me to do the dynamic leg raises that are included in the early morning stretches even if I am not in good condition to perform the isometric exercises yet?

[ThomasKurz]

@vockla

As a rule, yes. Ask your doctor to see if you are an exception.

[vockla]

You say in your video that once I do 3 sets of 15 reps of bench back extensions with extra weight of 1/3 of my body weight I should be strong enough to start hip flexors exercises. I do not have that specific bench nor in the gym I go, but I do dead lift. Can you tell me the equivalent weight I should do in dead lift to be able to start with the hip flexors exercises on the mat?

[ThomasKurz]

@vockla

An equivalent of your body weight would be OK. But it may be unnecessary. Ponder this:

"Introduce leg raises on the floor into your strength training as soon as your abdomen and lower back are strong enough not to bother you during or after the leg raises."

Mam jeszcze kilka pytan:

1.Jesli lewy przywodziciel jest wyraznie słabszy od prawego czy nalezy go wzmacniac poprzez czeste cwiczenia siłowe tj wypady w bok i w tył głownie na lewa strone??.

2. Czy w przywodzeniach uda stojac mozna stopniowo cały czas zwiekszac ciezar , czy jest jakas okreslona waga ciezaru ktora nie moze zostac przekroczona??

4.Czy lepsze efekty bedzie dawało dodanie po przywodzeniach uda stojac do Typowego planu robionego po poludniu takich cwiczen jak wypady i przysiady??

Q: "If the adductors (inner thigh muscles) of the left thigh are significantly weaker than adductors of the right thigh, should they be strengthened by frequent exercises, such as side lunges and rear lunges done in a waythat loads mainly the left thigh?"

A: First you have to find the cause of the relative weakness of your left thigh and then treat it. If your hips are twisted, or nerve activation is off, then exercising more might hurt your left thigh rather than strenghten it.

Does anyone actually have a fitness goal of having a hottie sit on your thighs when you are splitting between to chairs?

Where I can buy this DvD

[DieMara72]

"scientifically" only in the sense of maximising ROM resp. effectivness - application only under healthy circumstances! hip flexibility biased in the vid because its cool. did you know, that the muscle doesnt get really longer,rather its painpsychologically what happens. and what about titin? how broad mentioned.

nethertheless interesting book!!!! stretch your mind

[JourneyMonkey]

Hi Tom, in your book Stretching Scientifically, you have several stretching exercises in one paragraph for a particular body part. Could I do one of the stretches only, or should I do all of it. I want to master the splits and horse stance in three months.

[MrSenorMorales]

@nestornegron Yes

[tonystarkar8]

@nestornegron
