In case you haven't heard - Stretching is Dead!  

Add comments


I recently viewed a video on the CrossFit Journal that may shock your world...

Stretching is dead! That's right, stretching is for losers! 

View 'Midline Stabilization Part 5: Stretching is Dead' from the CrossFit Journal (Note: you will require a membership to the CrossFit Journal to access the video download)

So how are we going to increase the range of motion you may be asking?
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation - proprio-what? 
PNF for short, is the method of combining isometric contraction with the extension of the joint to its furthest range of motion.  
For more information visit the wikipedia on PNF

Next time you see my 'gun show' at the CrossFit Regina gym...
I'm not showing off - I'm lengthening my biceps!

    Yeah I'm way overdue. I hope to find time this weekend to write about my experience with nutrition and CrossFit performance and recovery.
