Can you over stretch?

Just watched David Goggins on Joe Rogan and that nigga said he stretches for 2 hours everyday. I have only ever done light stretching before a work out. Can I start smashing an hour or 2 of stretching post work out or will I just damage my muscles?

stretching is for pussies

I've heard doing light sets first, like an empty bar, is enough of a stretch routine. Probably broscience, but anecdotally, I've had no problems.

that mong has bitch tits

If you dont stretch enough your joints will crack and hurt and also risk your gains as you get older.
Dont listen to the low t /pol/kid

I am wondering why he does such a crazy amount of stretching. There must be some benefit right?

Stretching decreases strength by up to 5% when done prelift. Find the studies yourself im too lazy to on my phone.

That mong did 4000 pull ups in 24 hours. You are pond scum compared to that cunt

You can overstretch in the sense that you become so flexible that your weakened stretch reflex, which might otherwise prevent injury in dramatic scenarios, fails to stop you from doing something over the top. For example in some kind of striking martial art, it is advisable to not contiously do isometric stretching, but instead cease isometric stretching once a desired level of flexibility is achieved. You will naturally become less flexible over time until it may become necessary again, but its preferable to being so flexible that you go overboard on a high kick and injure yourself.

It is clear from the responses I've read so far that most of this board is fucking retarded, extremely unathletic, etc. I suggest you get this book called stretching scientifically

Its necessary though you shouldnt do it right before lifting but in the evening
