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.

dang thanks for the advice. D1 for which sport, and we’re u close to making it pro?

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.

dynamic for warm up, static for cool down

@82peeps Жыл бұрын

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

@xalian17 Жыл бұрын

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”

@monsterbulgaria Жыл бұрын

However, if you are cold/ training in a cold place, you should most definitely take some time to warm up even if you squat 100lbs.

@Rampage1Rules Жыл бұрын

This mindset is very dumb , no matter the weight you should warm up

@ronak2127 Жыл бұрын

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.

@G10M13 10 ай бұрын

The simple way is that your muscles loosen up but you want them to be tight for workouts because that helps use more power

@sonja4164 Жыл бұрын

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

@Loverhours Жыл бұрын

You’d lose the elasticity that you actually want during workouts,, static holds are good for afterwards,, maybe post workout, before eating.

@jasonphan2001 Жыл бұрын

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.

Think about it: why all profesionall athlete stretch before any competition except weak body builders who don't even need to stretch bc they are just sitting or standing(no fast movement) You can't compare rubber band and muscles, and no the stretching is not gona make you weaker but more flexibile and prevent inyuries.
