The 2007 Goals thread

[poos_n_wees]

Just a question for you Poos,

are you seriously supposed to keep your arms straight throughout the whole movement till your arms are behind your back? :?

mine feels like its gona pop out of its joint! :shock:

The wider the grip, the easier it is. So start off with a really wide grip.

I had to start with a humungous rolled up beach towel 'cos my shoulders were so retarded, and slowly worked up to the broomstick. I just try and move my grip closer within the 50 reps.. but like he said in that thread, it gets easier (still damn hard, but easier :grin:)

[Pseudonym]

Do you think 50 reps might be overkill to start with? I've started doing these again, and although my flexibility is ok (not great, but ok), 30-40 reps are quite enough for me so far.

[poos_n_wees]

Maybe.

I usually have a few rest pauses in there and sometimes lose count (who does 50 reps of anything these days??) but figure -- Hey, its good for me and its working so why not?

:shock: I've been doing that DC stretch for a week and a half now, and Holy bejeeezus it worked!! Tentatively did some benching the other day and blow me down, there were no niggly pains in the right shoulder... 100 points for reviving that thread Ash!!

No worries, that stretch is bloody brilliant. I also started off with a rolled up towel, I couldn't have done it with a broomstick if my life depended on it :grin:
