>blood flow
also i recomend using the foam roller after stretching after workout to stretch the facia
Hudson Rivera
>blood flow
And this is good because?
Jason Russell
>When
at the end of your workout
>and why?
the only reason to stretch is if you're currently not flexible enough to do something you want to do. mindless stretching "just because" is pointless. it doesn't reduce soreness, it doesn't decrease injury risk and it doesn't improve strength. before you start stretching you should have a particular goal in mind.

Dynamic ones before workout to help joints, static ones after workout.

broscience.
Brody Adams

nah

Top kek.
Leo Myers
I stretch before I squat other wise my knees and basically everything else feel like they wanna explode. Stretching before makes squatting feel completely natural
Logan Hernandez
>It doesn't decrease injury risk
Please be bait, nobody can be this stupid.

Do your mobility work as part of your warm up. You're trying to temporarily make it hurt less to stretch yourself into end-range positions. This allows you to do your lift in those positions, which is how you improve mobility.
Hudson Young
>before going to bed
Most optimal time to stretch, your muscle shorten when you sleep. I stretch every night and sleep like a fucking rock
Austin Foster
>this probably isn't bait
William Flores
You only need enough mobility to hit the joint angles you reach in daily life. If you do yoga or weightlifting, those positions probably require some work, but your work in hitting those positions should be load-bearing. Flexibility without strength does not decrease injury risk.

Stops them being stiff and loosens them up. Can't hurt to take 2 minutes to do them
Dominic Perez
warming up decreases injury risk. static stretching before lifting increases injury risk
Benjamin Edwards
>static stretching before lifting increases injury risk
and cardio kills gains and eating vegetables is actually somehow bad
everything you ever thought was beneficial is actually BAD, so now you have an excuse to not have to do anything. Fuck cardio X)
James Sanders

James Reyes
How do you warm up before stretching at home at night? Just do a dynamic warm up, or something a bit more rigorous?
Hunter Adams
Listen you fucking retard, static stretching is fucking bad for you unless your goal is increased flexibility.

>Two minutes of static stretching per muscle group
appeared to elicit a negative influence on concentric
and sse explosive force measures and jumping performance.
In contrast. submaximum running and practice jumps
had a positive influence on muscle performance.

cardio does kill gains you fucking retard. You have to have a surplus of calories to gain weight, and if you're burning calories then you have less/no caloric surplus and your gains stall.
