Tense-Relax Method for Rapid Flexibility Gains (protocol inside)

Published: Thu, 04/02/20

For the last couple of days, we've been talking about a new stretching program I am doing called Hyperbolic Stretching.

Alex, the creator of the program, goes as far as to say that, even you are out of shape or have never exercised before, you will be able to do full splits in 28 – 30 days without a warm-up.

People who are already training or have a fitness base under them he claims will be able to do it in an even shorter amount of time.

How?!?

Well, I can’t outline the entire program in a short article … but one of the big things that Alex emphasizes is that the magic of the Hyperbolic Stretching method is in the exercise protocol.

So let me give you full explanation of what is going to happen in your body as you go through the stretching exercises.

1 - First, you’re going to assume your stretching posture, and stretch as far as you can.

What happens in this moment is that the myotatic reflex takes over and tenses the stretched muscle, making it impossible for you to stretch further.

But with the Hyperbolic Stretching method, you consciously tense the already stretched muscle … and then something called reverse myotatic reflex takes place. This means your neuromuscular system will allow you to stretch a little more.

2 - After few seconds, release the conscious tension and move about half an inch more into the stretch.

3 - Then, tense the stretched muscle consciously again and another reversed myotatic reflex takes place.

4 - Again, release the tension and move a bit more into the stretch.

5 - Repeat one or two more times until you achieve your maximum stretch.

What you are basically doing with the tense-relax protocol is that you’re influencing and reprogramming your neuromuscular memory system.

After few weeks your body we re-learn and replace the old tension reflex with reversed-tension reflex, making it possible to stretch all the way down to a full split.

The exact exercises you need to do and exactly how to do them and how often and much more is outlined in the full program.

But hopefully today’s article gives you a bit more of an idea on how this method works, and why it’s so effective when it comes to creating rapid results.
