Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Try this method to enhance wrist flexibility. Hold the bar in front squat position and have someone pull up on the elbows. As they pull up try to push the elbows down by exerting 50-60% of max force. The idea is that with each preceding exertion the following stretch will be a little more exagerrated. After pushing down with the elbows, relax and have your partner push up on your elbows again. Repeat the sequence 3-5 times. This method is described in detail in The Weightlifting Encyclopedia by Dreschler. [This is simply an application of one PNF relaxation (contract-relax or hold-relax) method.

Keep in mind proper mechanics must be stressed as in any movement. Hale winchester ky www.maxcondition.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
