Feb 20, 2011 - @ShowstopperMMA: PNF itself is not "stretch the muscle, then contract it, then go a little further." That is a technique called "contract-relax" which is a component of PNF.  PNF itself consists of using diagonals for stretching and strengthening instead of your plain straightforward stretches. Hope that helps your learning! "PNF In Practice" by Susan Adler is a fantastic book.

Aug 30, 2011 - I like the hamstrings part & I understand the concept which I love. I do have just some reservations in regards to the groin stretch as to the pressur that maybe applied to the knee & hip joint. But thankyou for sharing I respect anyone who comes on here and shares knowledge on youtube. I will try and do the hamstrings part :)

Jan 19, 2012 - I'm 21 years old and have been stretching 5 days a week since may trying to get my front splits down. I've done lots of research, and I know that I'm not overstretching, however i still can't seem to get the last couple inches down, and it feels like my flexibility is on pause....i'm just not improving at all anymore. I've been at the same point since october now. :(

Mar 4, 2012 - no you dont do static stretch before pnf because it makes your muscles relax you should do static stretch after pnf or after workout .
