doggcrapp and his extreme stretching

[DOGGCRAPP]

Thanks for the comments guys---its stuff like seeing guys say "finally this DC training got me over the hump" that i love to hear---Im right there with you LilWilly--I finally was able to build up some pretty damn good calves after a decade of training with minimal results by using that protocol up above. At one point I was at 700-900lbs on standing calf raises and they werent going anywhere so I finally said screw this and thought it all out--and i think ive hit on something as far as calf training because it pretty much has worked for everyone i train.

As far as the stretching up above please dont use the weights i use off the bat (90lbs dumbells etc) start with about 30 and work your way up slowly over time

A few questions if I may:

The chest stretch: Grab a pair of bells, then lie flat on a bench (like I were to dbell press) then lower them to the lowest point for 10 seconds (got that down.) NOW , then over the next 50 seconds I SLOWLY raise them to the highest point? Do I have that correct?

The bicep and shoulder ones I just plain dont seem to understand

No on the chest stretch, at least as far as I understand it. Think of it like dumbbell flys...go to the lowest point and hold it. That's it. What I think he means is after 10 seconds you have acclimated yourself a bit to the stretch and therefore can push farther into the stretch. If you were raising the dumbbells up, that wouldn't be much of a stretch.

Hopefully, DC will come back and explain the others for you. It would be nice to have a before and after pic that way it would be easier to understand. Like starting position, and fully stretched position.

A similar question was asked to DC before here was his reply:

if your back is arched and your sternum is held high--just drop your elbows as deep as possible--the emphasis is dropping your elbows--i saw on some other sites that people where almost doing straight arm flyes--thats not what i want--a bent arm fly with chest held high is where you want to be--and at that point drop the elbows downward

That's what I was thinking. This looks really interesting, but I'd be afraid to try it without images of before/after on the positions. I'd imagine I'd screw up half the stretches.

I should have added that DC quote was from animalkits.

The entire cycling for pennies thread can be found there, all 900zillion pages of it....lol.

Very good read.
