Relax into Stretch : Instant Flexibility Through Mastering Muscle Tension by Pavel Tsatsouline

Product Description

Regain the Buoyant Flexibility of a Young Child While Maximizing Your Power and Strength

"Conventional stretching attempts to literally elongate your tissues, which is dangerous and ineffective. Relax into Stretch simply teaches your muscles to relax into a stretch. If you compare traditional training to a messy hardware reorganization, then Relax into Stretch is an efficient software upgrade.

While stretching tissues may take years, changes in the nervous system are immediate! Your muscles will start noticeably elongating from your first Relax into Stretch practice—and within months you will have achieved a level of flexibility uncommon in our species."—Pavel Tsatsouline

Disappointing
The author should give away for other materials for free to make up the differences. This is the same type of hype that the HIT stuff from Mentzer and the other false authors. Many claims yet little delivery. I can't recommend it.

Feel the pain
Ugh... Too tough for this old guy.

I think it would have been great had I started 25 years ago, a few of the exercises are useful to those that are over the hill, but be careful. The distance between ahhh.. and pure pain is pretty narrow.

Pavel Does It Again
Good Day to All,
I own a few of Pavels books, this being another excellent source to train my soccer team. The book certainly gives you a different look at stretching, though I had learned many of the techniques when I was a Martial Artist and Special Forces Soldier I have never seen it broken down into easy to understand articulate writings before this. Pavel has done an excellent job with this subject giving good lessons from history just as he has done before with kettle bells, free weights and body weight exercises.
