Is stretching important? Is it better to stretch before or after working out? I dont want to be 30 with the bones of an old man
>>77585362First, are you aware that when you stretch you’re stretching your muscles and not your bones?
>>77585362depends on the lift
>>77585362Stretch before. Otherwise you'll have a lot of musclepain for a week.
>>77585362dynamic stretches before workout and static stretches after
>>77585391Exactly this dont listen to anyone else. Never static stretch before a workout
>>77585391>>77585399What is the difference?
>>77585362stretching is it's own workout. you should do a routine on rest days, and a few >>(You) specific ones every morning.>>77585417this may be wrong but what I was taught, static are what most people think of with stretches. touch your toes and hold. you're deep in the stretch. dynamic is a quicker movement or explosive. think swinging your leg back and forth before squatting or circling your arms or high knees that sort of thing. it's essentially a little warmup for what you want to do.for me, every day I do cossak squats, deep body weight squats, leg swings, arm circles, hip circles, neck circles
>>77585421How i see it, static stretches are for releasing tension in muscles and dynamic stretches are for pumping blood into the muscles. Could be totally wrong

>>77585362Stretching cold can be harmful, lifting cold can lead to injuries.I do 15-30 min cardio or body workout before lifting, and some short stretching routine after.
>>77585362I think it’s better to warm up the joints before lifting and stretch the muscles after. I don’t love stretching because it’s like teaching the muscle to relax under pressure which is the opposite of what you want. That’s how it seems to be anyways but I am retarded.
>>77585362Stretching is very important. I do it to your mother's butthole all the time.
>>77585819can confirm, that thang can stretch
>>77585362I ain't do dat
>>77585362You can just replace all that with smoking a joint after your workout while walking to your car.
