Strength Stretching for a Bigger Squat Bench & Deadlift - Click here to order.

DVD - The iron elite knows that ‘being tight’ is critical to making that big lift. At the same time you can’t put up a big squat, bench press, or deadlift without having just the right amount of flexibility and only in the right places. A paradox. Ignore stretching altogether — and lose power to the joints that ‘don’t bend easy’. Do stretches designed for fighters or other athletes — and toss away strength by the bucket… because you’ll lose your crucial ‘tightness’. Either way, a dead end. Not any more. Enter Strength Stretching by Pavel Tsatsouline, the only flexibility program custom designed to up your squat, up your bench, up your dead! To order or for more info - Click Here

 Loaded Stretching - The Russian Technique for Instant Extra Strength - Click here to order.

DVD - In the glory days of the Soviet empire a team of researchers lead by weightlifting world champion A. Vorobyev devised a special instant strength technique. Immediately after its application experienced lifters pulled their barbells more than two inches higher! Further research determined that the unique Loaded Stretching (LS) technique — unlike any other type of stretching you have seen — not only increased immediate performance but also delivered long term strength gains. Finally, you too can take advantage of this powerful technique — and watch your athletic performance soar to new heights. Take the Loaded Stretching challenge today: perform the exact LS technique Pavel Tsatsouline specifies for your chosen strength-skill — and see immediate, measurable gains… be it deadlift, squat, vertical jump, kicks, throws or presses.
