the “flexibility torture book”

Another great book by Roland Carrasco is no longer in print.

Back in the day we referred to it as the flexibility torture book. That was black humour — in fact this is an excellent resource and we added many of his exercises. Though in French, the photographs told the tale.

There were a number of stretches we crossed out with a large X — in particular those showing knee hyper-extension drills.
