I have literally never stretched before lifting. What are the benefits of doing so?
>>74758932Not getting tendinitis.
>>74758932You will once you're injured from pushing yourself. I do dynamic stretching and seem to be doing okJust warm up a fair bit if you can't be bothered otherwise it's only for real ones not faggots like you
A well-stretched body can swing majestically.
Static stretching before or after lifting like in gym class (dunno if zoomzooms still do this) is not only useless but detrimental. Dynamic stretches specific to the lifts can be useful. Generally you just need to warm up in the specific lift.
>>74758949LOL
>>74759282LOL right back at you brother
>>74758932Stretching isn't for short term performance enhancement, but for long term flexibility and strength.
>>74758932>What are the benefits of doing so?None. If you do full ROM while lifting. You literally ARE stretching.
>>74758949I wanted to make a joke about this guy but it is inappropriate and racist so I won't..
>>74759343>None. If you do full ROM while lifting. You literally ARE stretching.no u are doing shit light singles because u get no time under tension whatsoeverincidentally proper stretch is loading muscle in leghtened position static hold for extended period of time but if u do say curls with "full rom" u are neither stretching nor "lifting", u're just trying to rip tendons off of bone
>>74758949nigga got that monkey jungle strength he ready to grab some bananas
>>74758932None. Stretching after lifting is good tho and you should do it.
>>74758932You're supposed to stretch after you lift. It's not really necessary unless you have mobility issues though.Don't listen to the DYELs ITT, stretching is largely a meme. Doesn't do anything to warm up your tendons or ligaments
>>74758932you must absolutely stretch your legs if you hope to achieve squat depth without raping your back. it also helps keep your back straight off the initial pull on deadlifts. but iirc there's literature showing that static stretches before lifting can lead to injury, so don't do it then.
>>74758949What a talented male stripper
>>74758949it's more impressive that he avoids hitting anyone
>>74758949funny but very impressive at the same time
>>74759483
>>74758932The benefit is that it increases risk of injury and filters retarded ''science based lifters'' who are either DYELs or ruin their promising lifting careersFitness is full of these ''durr of course you do X, it's le good for you'' deathtraps. If you don't want to be fucked for life you should keep stretching to your off days.
>>74759626I don't care what any of these studies say, every paper I've read so far about this subject has a bizarre method for how long they make the subjects stretch for. I've seen everywhere from 60 seconds to 10 MINUTES of stretching. Who the fuck is static-stretching a single body part for 10 minutes?? I used to blindly follow people's advice and never stretch/only do dynamic stretches because I thought it would 'lower performance,' and nearly every week I had some kind of shoulder pain, chest pain, knee pain, and lower back pain.Once I started reading the papers and noticing how strange the experiments were and watching actual experienced Olympic gold medalists talk about the importance of stretching, I started stretching all the time. Before workout, after workout, at night, in the morning, when im cooking, when im watching tv, at work, in the shower, during sex, while walking the dog, in class, while i'm waiting for the min wage worker to make the sub. Love it. Feels lovely to hear all these different parts of my body cracking and releasing pressure. Used to have knee pain in my left every week, now I rarely experience even a slight tingle. Used to think it was impossible to do ATG squats with my body and 6'3" height with no pain, now it's second nature. Lats and trap always feel great now (and the feeling when you stretch them and hear them pop is by far my favorite). My balance and stability issues on various lifts isn't even something I consider now.I just feel great all around pretty much every day. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt real pain that wasn't just some morning soreness after I started regularly stretching. Don't care what anyone says. Stretching saved my life and I am going to continue to do it every week. I really should start a more consistent progression routine to see if I can do a split. If 7'4" Vic can do it surely I can.
>>74758932bait thread. never stretch before or after lifts. stretching should be done on a different day because its a full workout. mobility movements however are a must.
>>74758949this is what working as a male stripper does to your brain
>>74758932>beforeI thought you stretch after lifting?
>>74760060what stretches are you doing? Whenever I google stretches I just get stupid yoga/ influencer shit shoved in my face
>>74758932As a white man, I'm looking forward to a future of more frizzy-haired mixed/mocha breeding stock like this being around.

>>74758932Sometimes, stretches are just whoreflexing.
>>74760065Sause?
>>74760060That was my experience as well, I'd just lift bro stretchin is for fags. Well when I don't stretch, I'd have to do a ton of lightweight warmup sets to avoid my heavier sets feeling like something was going to tear. It's easier just to stretch, I prefer a light "wake up" style yoga routine. And most assuredly cool down stretches are critical, or else my recovery will be horrendously sore for multiple days, rather than a quick one day of light soreness at worst.Maybe lots of people don't stretch and feel no ill effects, and preach accordingly. Well my body obviously doesn't work that way, so I stretch, it's that simple, gotta do what works for you. I'm betting the no-stretch preachers are all 20 years old, I was invincible back then too.
>>74758932My bwc would stretch her if u know what I mean
>>74758932You get to hang out with the girls who are also stretching
>>74761223I’ll take you to the men’s restroom and stretch your asshole
>>74758932Pre workout stretching is a meme and robs your gains. Stretching should be done post workout.
>>74761479> men’s restroomAsk me how I know you've never gone to the gym

>>74759802just because hes black doesnt mean you have to be surprised that he spends 25 seconds without punching someone.
>>74760060based. if it wasn't clear in my post, I fully promote stretching, both dynamic and static. to reiterate what I was saying is to avoid holding static stretches before lifts - instead prefer dynamic ones with a proper warm up and do static stretches at another time. anons, if you do some static stretching for a few weeks you will notice increased limberness in your everyday movements. something as mundane as reaching for a cup or bending over to pick something up will feel much more natural. do it. personally I feel you get the most bang for your buck with your legs, do your glutes, hamstrings, quads, hip flexors, abductor magnus and ankles, if you have no idea how to target those muscles, here>glutes, lay on your back and keep one leg down, pull the other by the knee to your chest>hamstrings, stand upright with knees straight and try to touch your toes>quads, stand on one leg and hook your other foot with one hand and pull up toward your ass>hip flexors, kneel down on one knee with your other leg up and in front of you and lean forward, keep back upright and pull your hip around>abductor magnus, sit with your legs spread and knees straight as if you were doing the splits and lean forward>ankles, standing a foot length from a wall, put your foot up against it putting it in dorsiflexion (pointing up)do all of these for at least 60 seconds least 3 times a week, preferably every day and I guarantee you'll like the results like anon was saying, it takes 10 minutes max and the payoff is immense. pinging anon who asked >>74760868

>>74758932For some reason, this reminds me of this one video posted on here years ago of a skinny black girl getting plapped by a dog and her squirting everywhere only after a few thrusts.No, I am not asking you to repost this video as it is disgusting and supremely depraved.
>>74763303Why even bring this up.
>>74758932>What are the benefits of doing so?Can go to a yoga class and pick up cardio QTs without looking like an uncoordinated retard
>>74763303Oh no haha that would be terribleIf someone were to post it here I mean, wouldn't that just be gross haha
>>74763321Sorry, I'm severely autistic.
>>74763321He probably reaaaaallly wants to see that video again so he can have a 3 hour goon session to the video on loop.And to that I say don't fulfill his request, coomers need to be castrated.
>>74763303I'm going to go ahead and guess it was some anon posting it in retort to the "white girls f*** dogs" meme that was all the rage several years back.
>>74763321>>74763415It's a lustbait thread. I don't care to be on topic.>>74763454Probably right.Also, dog on monkey isn't "technically" bestiality anyway.
>>74762904>to reiterate what I was saying is to avoid holding static stretches before lifts - instead prefer dynamic ones with a proper warm up and do static stretches at another timeThere is absolutely no reason to do this though.
>>74763487there is no reason to do static stretches immediately before lifting heavy weight though.
>>74762401funniest post made on this website in the last decade

>>74763514Idk I find they help with increasing my capability to perform through full range of motion moreso than any dynamic stretches do.
>>74758932>I have literally never stretched before lifting. What are the benefits of doing so?Increased chance of pulling a muscle.
>>74758949>too many NPCs gotta start messing with them
>>74758932none
>>74760065I'm not convinced her trainer knows what he's doing
>>74759483^ faggot ^
>>74760060My experience as well. Now, before doing squats and deadlifts, I always stretch quads, hams, ankles and that thing in the pelvis area where you position yourself like you're presenting your ass for some prime ass fucking. If I don't, my range of motion is much smaller, my form goes to shit and I get knee pain for days, especially if I don't go ATG.
>>74760065This man does not appear to be a trained physical therapist.

>>74758949damn i wish i was an american
>>74758932Less strength and more chance of injury.
>>74758932Do NOT stretch before lifting. If you stretch, it should be for other exercise, NOT just before lifting.
>>74763900>>74764484He's very dedicated to stretching. So he's going to stretch her cervix
>>74764536Congrats on finally liking normal human-sized women.
>>74764536fun and games until you feel that ass hit your crotch and it's nothing but firmness and bone, shit sucks dude
>>74758932The primary benefits or stretching are injury prevention and injury healing.Also, it feels good.
>>74758932If you have the time after training, always recommended. Pay attention not to overdo it.>>74758949That's it, I'm calling MTA. Enough with apes in the transit sys.
>>74758949These always make me laugh
>>74758932Stretching before lifting is not necessary because it's an exercise in and of itself. At worst it can injure the muscle group you're about to use to lift.Warming up is very, very wise and you will end up doing it at some point as you get older and accumulate injuries.But stretching as a separate exercise, preferably done at a different time to the muscle group you're about to exercise, is also very good as it gives you proper range of motion.
>>74760065I need a training partner to help me like that.
>>74758949Whats the deal with the hat
>>74767700Checked
>>74758932The only stretching you <i>need</i> is that loaded full stretch at the bottom of a rep. If you're working your full body with a properly balanced lifting regimine that includes that full stretch, you're fine.If you're an inflexible bastard then you need a whole separate stretching routine outside of lifting to get your ass inline.
>>74758932I am 40+ and never stretched in my life, faggots do it and no one elseoh and my general health is better than anyone else I know

>>74758932Did you know in World War I and World War II, all those guys that fought in that war, they did pushups, jumping jacks, sit-ups, climbed the rope and ran, but none of this fancy shit, and they won two world wars, two world wars by doing jumping jacks, pushups and sit-ups, two world wars. You think they were worried when they were running across Normandy about fucking stretching? Are you kidding me? Give me my rubber band to stretch so I can run across that fucking beach. You’ve got to be kidding me.
>>74760065Now THIS is the white man's choice.

How to start flexibility for a man?I mean I don't want to suck my dick, but I don't want to be that guy that can't even scratch his back.
lifting IS stretching. why would you do it separately?
>>74758949Impressive until the gay hat shit at the end.This is why nobody likes them.
>>74773633keep stretching? preferably with resistance, ie strength stretches
>>74758949Impressive or not, a crowded subway car is not an appropriate venue for this shit.
