What are counter stretches and ankle fulcrums mentioned by DLD

DLD mentions counter stretches and ankle fulcrums in the “collect wisdom” thread. I cant find anything on them though.

Anybody have any links?

I haven’t heard of them. Is there a description of them? That might help us understand more than just the names. Sometimes people make up different names for the same stretches.

Why would they do that Stevie?

Good question, mem.

Maybe they just don’t know the original name.

Or could it be a deplorable need of idolization??

Hell if I know.

Just about the only thing I know is that its 23rd today, for me at least.

:head:

It was DLD who named them. I think he renamed a few stretches and squeezes.

Yeah but without a description we’re a bit stuffed.

I can hazard a guess that:

ankle fulcrums are using the leg bend double as a fulcrum point for a classic inverted v-stretch. I tried this using a yoga pose (Vrykasana - tree pose) it seemed fairly useful but I can’t say I used it a lot. I think I needed maybe another 3-4” in length to make it very enticing.

counter stretches: Who knows, could be laying the penis on a kitchen counter and attempting to exert force by lowering the body.

See those are probably far out.

I thought maybe the ankle would resemble an ankle joint fulcrum somehow. I thought the counter was referring to counter as in counter balanced, somehow stretching at both sides at the same time or something. I know DLD was meant to come up with his stretches through looking at simple physical principles.

As you say, stuffed without description.

Anybody who is a member of his site may know.

I think I like your guess for counter stretching better.
