solosuck forums!

Have been at it for a year...have discovered the "fold" now...starting to get comfortable in the position.

and another one from the same day

hey man, looks like you're doing well.

Yeah! Hot visuals and great soundtracks - love to hear you really getting into it.

AL

good stuff!

Can I ask what is the "fold"?

I guess i would describe the fold as the point when you suck your stomach in to allow for a deep bend. You rib cage drops and you actually kinda fold (just below your chest) I came to the conclusion about 2 moths ago that it wasnt my back now holding me back it was the way my stomach was or wasnt. Sucking in your gut makes a huge difference you actuallly enter a whole new stretch position. Relaxing certain muscles while in the fold make a huge difference for breathing purposes. I new of the fold before i ever did it, but didnt understand it till i did it. Does that make sence?


Anyway hope i helpecd a bit...im sure some of the more senior guys here could elaborate more or better.

Ah thats interesting, I dont believe I suck my tummy in (that I am aware of) I know I get awful burps though So do you breathe right in before folding?

I really appreciate your explaination and will give it a try when my poor pulled shoulder muscle has had a chance to heal....

my breathing always stays the same...smooth an steady...as you suck in your gut it allows the ribcag to adjust into place...it;s not till i am good and warm and have been stretching for awile that i can do this move. But your breathing should be under control all the time, it allows me to take things deeper while breathing steady.
