I dont mean for a couple of minutes before a workout, but seriously stretch.

Are there advantages/disadvantages if one does with respect to building muscle?
 
stretching helps loosen the fascia surrounding the muscle. a tight fascia can actually hinder muscle growth. The looser the fascia the easier the muscle can expand with proper training and diet.

it is like blowing up a balloon. If you stretch the balloon some before blowing it up, it is much easier right?
 
I have to stretch everyday, I have tight hammy's that can be pulled with something as simple as kicking a soccer ball.

For realy AAP?

Cause I dont know enough to even tell if thats a joke.;)

Makes sense though
 
I stretch a little in the morning and before bed. Legs, calves, shoulders, back, hands.
 
I stretch before and after every workout. Chest, neck, and side twists mostly. My posture suffers and I get the worst knots if I don't. Plus I have a much better ROM when I do.
 
for real. for more info and for descriptions of stretches to use, look for dante's training methods (doggcrapp)
 
Thanks AAP and Wodin.

k when I recharge
 
the stretching... works better... in the long run... rather that just right before you workout..... the muscles become looser and get use to being stretched....
and will keep them from being as tight... helps blood flow and lots of things...
AAP is right on... .. I do mine when i wake up.. and sometimes at night...
 
I do full body stretches about twice a week. My legs and back I try to do every day, but that doesn't always happen.

I do pilates occasionally on a day off from weights.....


VERY WELL worth it
 
I stretch my back and legs after I work them. I'll also stretch my pecs by doing some sort of fly and really stretching them at the bottom. I used to stretch between sets, but thats too much work :)

I though it was bad to stretch a cold muscle?
 
I never stretch...
I should cuz I am extremely inflexible....I can't even touch my toes.
 
i rool around on the big ball and look in the mirros for giggles at the gym.. does this count

Do you seriously get some good luck with pilates Shadow? I never thought about that, but the girlfriend does that stuff all the time. Me i have stretches from my orthopedist but they kinda suck. They gave em to me when i broke my back, but spending 3 years in a wheelchair i didn't find anything that helped me at all. I'm gonna give pilates a spin for giggles. can't hurt i guess
 
Streching before workouts can actually weaken the muscle, so let the weight stretch you!

Morning and evening stretching is good, post-workout streaching > All.

I don't stretch enough ... ><

Doesnt hurt that you're also in your 20's fucker.

Wait till you can hear yourself walk to the beat of your joints
 
Well, I pull on it and it gets longer, does that count as stretching?
