Re: DoggCrapp Basics

Do only one set of stretches, start with a weight you can get 60-70 seconds and then work up to 90 seconds. At that point add weight. I started my chest stretches with 30 pounds and at the end was at 90's for 90-100 seconds which seems like an eternity. No need to do more then one set or you take a chance of injury.

Re: DoggCrapp Basics

Quad stretch- Go to a lat pulldown station that has the adjustable knee rest and raise it as high as you can (depending on your height you may need to adjust this) Stand between the knee rest and the machine itself and put your inside leg up over the knee rest, like you are doing a standing stretch where you bend your knee behind your butt to stretch your quad. Then holding on the machine, sink down feeling the quad stretch. Go as deep as comfortable and hold it for 90-120 seconds. Even without weight, this can be very painful.

Ha ha, I started out with 20's! I was wiggling around on that bench like a worm around the 30 second mark.

Will do! Thank you! Is it okay if the ball of my feet are off the pad? I think that's my next option with my toes already being at the top.

It all depends on how it feels, once the majority of the work is on the hams then placement is correct. Play with it.

Re: DoggCrapp Basics

I keep my feet a bit higher to take the quads out of play. Next cardio day, put little to no weight on the machine and play with it until you feel the quads aren't involved.

Re: DoggCrapp Basics

Sumo press on leg press machine for hamstrings. Where is the proper foot placement for this exercise? I have been keeping my toes touching the top edge of the foot pad on the leg press, but still feel a good amount of quad assistance during the movement. Yesterday I stood up after my last RP set and it felt like somebody took my legs out from under me and I was right back down on my ass. I literally was off the ground falling it tensed up so fast lol. I fear I might be doing them wrong because of the way my quads feel when done, which might be taking away from my quad exercise afterwards...

Yes, the standing quad stretch with the knee pads on the lat pulldowns? I should note, I copy and pasted those descriptions. It sounds like the guy in the pictures wrote them, but I don't know his name. I think you do though. Let me know so I can add that into that post.

Yes, that's the one. And Dante wrote the stretch descriptions I believe but that is InHuman in the pictures. Guy was a BEAST!! Then he just disappeared. Love that guy!

You did a great job!! Do you still have my description of the quad stretch I gave you?
