fascial stretching

[hlcn8]

anyone have more info or links on this?!? i've heard of it, and know it has to do w/ obtaining a pump, but haven't been able to find out much more about it. every web search i do results in 20 offers to buy books that i don't need. basically, does it work? if it does, what are the basics of it, some examples, etc...

I truely do not know if it works or not but the premise is that there is tissue between your skin and your muscles that is very tight and can be constricting on the muscle as it is trying to grow. If you stretch the fascial tissue, there will be more room for the muscles. It was developed by a guy named John Parillo. His website is www.parillo.com but I do no think he has free instruction on it. The fact that this is such a rare topic to me suggest that it is not overly effective.

check out t-mag.com and do a search for it. They just did an article on it a couple of weeks ago. Very interesting whether you use it or not.

also search for myofascial stretching or myofascial release therapy.
