LISTEN TO YOUR BODY BUT do not use this as an excuse to be lazy:) Always push yourself within safe levels.Zeo, I am sure you are feeling real happy now. I am so glad you are getting this incredible support.
I agree with this approach completely. I pushed I little more each session and before I realized it I was probably using 50% more force, pull, whatever you want to call it on the A-Stretches. This is the same with all my PE efforts.
Plan your program
Study the methods
Practice the techniques
Seek help as needed
Increase intensity as required
Listed to your body
I’m probably one of the most paranoid guys on this board when it comes to being fearful of injury. However having said that I was also hanging more than 30 pounds for extended sets last year. I always started very very slow and worked my way up to new limits.
As I mentioned earlier in almost three years I have been down for about a week due to pushing too hard.
DLD, Positive feedback and support are a good thing.
Thanks,
