I wouldn't want to fuck with that guy....

As for the stretching thing...I think you're just asking for it if you don't stretch or warm up. Plus I find a little ride on the bike and a couple set of lighter weights really helps for lifting the heavier sets. If you just jump right in I find you can't lift as much and you get tired faster.

The point of stretching is to warm up your muscles in preparation for what you are about to put them through - it helps them prepare for it and it doesn't shock the system as much or injure it. I mean, you wouldn't jump into a gig without warming up your fingers because you'd be shit, and you wouldn't jump into singing opera straight out from the cold and a cigarette either - you'd warm up your voice to get it ready for the REAL job, not the warming up.

I think.

Dragging tires is epic. It'll make you fast + explosive. I used to do that, but my buddy with the tire/harness rig is gone now

But stich you need to get the blood flowing before ya stretch IMO

Stitch · 11-09-2007, 08:56 PM

Oh yeah man, always. That wasn't directed at you mate, it was at whoever said there was no point in stretching.

I always do 10-20 minutes cardio before I touch weights.

its simple-

if your trying to gain lost of muscle mass then you :
go with lower reps and more weight

If your trying to put on lean muscle mass:
Then you do high reps and less weight.

And less weight meens a weight you can rep at least 15 times while keeping good form.

No one is saying not to warm up, it would be stupid to try a max effort lift without warming up, you will hurt yourself. I haven't seen the Norwegian study that was mentioned, but I know of others who have come to similar conclusions, ie static stretching doesn't help pre-workout.

Doing a dynamic warmup is effective whereas standing there static stretching doesn't do anything and may be harmful instead of helpful.

Well... one damn norwegian here. tell me

The point of this study is that it states that you get little tears and rifts in your musclefibers if you stretch after a hard workout. That's why you feel soreness after a workout. Your body will restitute itself faster if you don't stretch. I've never stretched after working out and I've never been harmed by it. I do stretching exercises by itself after a very thorough warmup to make my joints more flexible.
