Book Reviews of Beyond Stretching : Russian Flexibility Breakthroughs

Book Review: One Radical Tip > Generic, Cheap Books
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this book for $5 from a bookstore. This book has several core tips on training flexibility that differ greatly from mainstream flexibility training.

For instance, he notes that stretching the legs by just pure relaxation will only produce weak kicks. This surprised me since I had always thought that stretching would be to relax as much as possible to achieve the greatest range of motion.

Apparently, pure relaxation stretching does not allow the leg to develop the muscles that have this range of motion. Therefore, the leg won't be able to kick nearly as much as the stretching distance made.

There were also a few other great tips that allowed me to achieve my full side split, but I thought that contrast contraction was the most important. I would pay $40 any day just for a invigorating, radical tip that I might miss for a lifetime.

PS: This book introduced me to the "Iron Game"(a.k.a strength training). With extensive research, I then corrected my principles of training to be different than that of a modern bodybuilder's; for too long I was accustomed to a modern bodybuilder's principles that had and never will work for hard gainers - people who have trouble even gaining a pound of muscle over the course of a year while eating well structured diets.
