STRETCHING FOR CLIMBING

This is the second edition of the book on stretching muscle chains to keep climber’s in shape.

What are muscle chains or lines of force? 

Muscle chains are the strongest connectors between fascias and muscle groups. 

When tractions are performed from the end of these connectors we reach ultra-effective stretches.

Description of techniques that are excellent for any level of climbing, from beginners to professionals.
