    Dynamic stretching before the workout, static stretching after the workout

    Guys, previous D1 athlete here. The information on this Video is TECHNICALLY correct but we have to add in your mobility . If you have bad hip, ankle, and back mobility YOU NEED TO STRETCH before you back squat. This will prevent injury and I guarantee your squat will feel more stable and smoother.

    I've been arguing this point for a while. I completely believe in doing a full body static stretching routine prior to lifting. For me personally, it opens up my full range of motion completely BEFORE I perform movements that should be performed throughout a full range of motion. I only hold each stretch for 10-15 seconds max. Which is enough time to warm up the muscles, warm up the joints and ligaments, opens up my mobility, and starts promoting blood flow. It also gets rid of any aches and pains that can distract me from tight muscles or aching ligaments, helps me focus on form from the very first rep, and just makes me feel overall better. I can see the argument against OVERSTRETCHING before lifting, but static stretching is not a bad thing in my opinion.

    The studies do agree, but only if you're holding static stretches for a prolonged period of time. Based on the research, it is best to perform static stretching for no more than 30 seconds for each set before lifting weights. I am a personal trainer certified through NASM.

    Depend on the individual. If I don’t static stretch especially before squats my form is worse and i’m more prone to injury so I knowingly do these stretches knowing my power output will decrease which I’m ok with.

    I progressively overload on my banded warmups lol my bands keep getting stronger and stronger just like my stabilizers and mobility. Resistance bands are meant to be used as utility work as a bonus they warm your muscles up. I literally do 10-15 mins of accessory work every day before I exercise because it makes my workout go smoothly and it’s nice to know that I’m not fucking up my tendons/joints. When I started progressively overloading on my resistance bands my db incl went from 70s to 90s lol no more unstable shoulders.

    Do warm up exercises before working out which is usually mimicking the exercise you're about to do but with either no weight or a light jog, stretch after your work out session is done to loosen the stiffness in your muscles after the beating you just gave them and help relieve some of the pain you'll feel later

    Or … realize and accept that if your squat is under 315 lbs, all you need to do is some warm up sets. 99% of people aren’t even lifting heavy enough to warrant a “dynamic warmup”

    Idiots like you need to stop spreading this misinformation. This is such a dumb take, somebody who is 90 pounds who is squatting 135 should probably warm up compared to someone who is 150 pounds squatting 135, who doesn’t need to warm up much. In any case you should always warm up.

    The reason static stretching before resistant training makes your lifts weaker, is because static stretching tells you CNS to _relax_ the muscles.

    Women & children are generally more flexible than men. Do you really think that is a physical advantage? A flexible rubber band is easier to tear & has less force capabilities. A strong rubber band is not as flexible but is more resistant to snapping & generates more force. Stiff tendons makes up a sprinters speed.
