Why is mobility and stretching even a thing?Wouldn't the right be better?
>>77352257The fuck are you talking about retard?
>>77352257definitely. go make your joints as stiff as possible and report back
>>77352257Can't tell if bait or literally retarded.
>>77352257Rigid muscles are more likely to sprain
You don't even have a basic understanding of what it means for a muscle to be "tight" or "stiff".
>>77352257Hyper flexibility is connected to tendon damage. It's even got names for it like pitchers/tennis elbow due to the constant, dynamic flexibility those sports demand. All strength training is static stretching as well, with your ROM increasing your strength in that ROM (duh). Flexibility is just strength in certain joint angles.An adaptation of heavy lifting and "explosive" or pylometric actions (like sprinting or even regular running) is increasing joint stiffness. One of the reasons that bodybuilders are so fucking slow is that all their time with lightweights (high reps) and slow-and-controlled training essentially makes their tendons "mushy." It's like trying to run in clown shoes and 200lbs of clothing on. That, along with their universal PED use that only builds muscle mass but doesn't improve tendon strength with it. This forces them to deliberately avoid training their tendons at the risk of snap city. In extreme cases, they have the same tendons as an untrained fatso.Right would actually be better for most people who don't have a specific sport need. It is more shock absorbent just like stiff ankles in sprinting.
There are these different body maps about this and it mostly has to do stuff like knee and elbow being one-dimensional while shoulder, hip, ankle and wrist are more ball-shaped.Then there's the scapula and lower back which can move but need stability to support more mobile joints. But this has long been misinterpreted, it doesn't mean if the spine rounds or the scapula moves that you fail, sometimes contrary. It's contextual and in terms of weight-lifting you need to often build up the weights slowly. It's probably even better if you build up strength in some odd positions like deadlifting with a rounded back, it just means you need to start with an empty barbell or a stick.
Or if you do certain presses and dips and so, the full movement actually involves scapula moving, not just down and back the whole time like people were instructed for a long time. Same with different row and pull movements. Of course everyone is different.

everyone I know that is “flexible” is some twink Peter Pan wannabe who does backflips at children’s birthday parties and puts it on instagram
