I`ve got a problem. I have pretty big muscles because I do a lot of powerlifting/fitness. My sifu says not to do that because it isn`t useful. How do I train to make my muscles longer ?

I want to make them longer instead of bigger in volume (if you know what I mean). I can`t bring my elbows in a descent way to the centerline. The tension in my shoulder is enormous and my muscles in my chest are in the way.Originally posted by Elfan
I'm not sure what you mean by "longer," could you elaborate? Are you refering to flexibility?
BTW I too am of the opinion that bigger, stronger muscles are a good thing.

stretch the muscles that you are lifting after each session, this helps to keep them from shortening up and the bulky appearance.
I'm a bigger guy, so I fight a little different than my classmates. I've never had problems protecting my centerline, but I often need to make adjustments by sidestepping or shifting my body a little.Originally posted by Martijn
