Have any of you ever had the feeling that all of your hip, leg, and back muscles are so tight that your stature/posture is compressed. I feel this daily and feel as if I got all my muscled loosened, my body would be long and lean and what feels like 2"-3" taller… any thoughts about this, and if so, what things can I do to alleviate the problem. I stretch but would like to take a more aggressive approach, no matter what it takes.
Sort of. Never really compressed like you say but tight etc. I bought a pair of gravity boots and it helped a ton. I use them after a HEAVY squat or DL workout and man do they help. Just loosen thngs up stretch out. I will actually conme out of them taller. The first time things popped and snapped I didnt know I had LOL.
Really aids in recovery as well. They are also grea for an awesome ab workout.
There was an interview with one of the coaches on T-Nation, and he recommended against using gravity boots because it can cause more problems. It may have been one of the articles with Kinakin (sp)?
