Stretching

[Goozeer]

Can anybody tell me how to learn to stretch this way.
I don't know what's it called in English, but it's when you're legs are flat on the ground and the body still straight,
like this __|__ I hope somebody knows what I try to explain

[Shimora]

Hire any Jean Claude Van Damme movie. You will get the idea.

Strech about 20 minutes a day.
Take a hot long bad, and strech afterwards.

I'm a fan dynamic streching (moving) i works well for me.

I think you are meaning the full box split.

[Tony10]

Also known as the "Chinese splits."

[Goozeer]

Shall I take a hot bath before or after stretching?

[duchman]

before

Get your hands on either:

-OR-

-Thomas Kurz, "Stretching Scientifically'

[Oberleutnant]

Goozeer: Plenty; but I don't feel like typing several pages nor do I have the time... just buy the books.
