mate can you run us thru the 'aggresive stretching' we do aggresive stretching before a game then slow afterwards but i think i know what your getting at but can you let us in please?!?! thanks, Taurus
taurus This is what I usually do after training back. 1: From a chinning bar hang at a full stretch (narrow grip) and then "shrug" upwards an inch or two to contract the lats. Then drop back into full stretch and repeat over and over (its a bit like doing 20 reps of shrug then stretch. 2: Grab a power rack (or similar) with both hands and stretch the lats as far as you can while bending forward at the waist. Hold for a 20 count. 3: Do a similar stretch to the second one but do it 1 arm at a time. This will help exagerate the stretch and really pul the lower lat insertions. 4: Repeat the first one, hanging from a chinning bar. IMO this really improves the mind-muscle connection and helps "polish off" all the heavy resistance training. Give it a go mate and see what you think. 🙂
MA92 started me on this stretching technique and i have to recommend it to everyone. Being Sunday it's my day off and I have to say Im pretty pleased about that. This past week which started with that back workout has been very intense.
did this back routine on friday, my shirt was absolutely soaked from top to bottom, felt great, will definately be doing it this week as well
Gave this a try tonight but switched the pulldowns for chins and had an awsome pump through the lats and lower back. Keep em coming Mraust.
