I just started stretching this month and I've gotten better gains and better definition. It's AMAZING the results. I also feel more alert and less drowsy.
I see the same results, especially the lower body. The hamstrings being stretched before, during and after a workout helps with the growth of the muscles. But more importantly, I see better definition or muscle clarity for hamstrings and for other muscle groups. Back stretching produces the same results for me as well.
I can relate to stretching too much. I used to do a ton of shoulder dislocations everytime before pressing and once my left shoulder got dislocated during a bench set. Thankfully it dislocated at the beginning of the movement and I managed to put it back. I am still anxious to bench due to that experience.
Having a bad hip, if I don’t stretch at least every second day, I can barely walk. Stretching is vitally important. For me. Great job.
I used to read tons of studies and argue about what worked and what didn't. Then I realized that didn't get me anywhere. So I decided to just be my own experiment and try things out. Stretching and foam rolling have saved me. That is my own experience. It might not work for others but I know it is a must for me.
smart man
@@mountaindog1 haha thanks. I'm glad I found your channel. I've been reading your articles for years on tnation. I'm glad I say a video recommendation in my feed.
I think it depends on the individual's physical state and what they are trying to achieve. I spent my early years of lifting obsessed with Kelly Starrett and movement prep, but I found too much stretching and joint mobilization decreased performance if I was already mobile enough to get into a good position. There are newbies in my gym who I often see stretching their rear delts before bench pressing, and I don't understand the logic. They probably spend much of the day hunched over with already chronically lengthened rear delts. They might benefit more from activation like facepulls
agreed
I do light stretches as part of my warmup before I do light isolation exercises to get blood to the muscles, then I'll do my compounds.
I always stretch after each heavy set. Just the muscle group I hit on that body part. I find that it relieves the lactic acid build up when the muscle is maxed out and engorged in blood. The point about the placebo effect is valid too. Just the mere daily consumption of vitamin C , the hand popping the tablet in your mouth , triggers the immune system to get stronger. But it's the exercise that has the most health benefits.I read an article about it in Muscle & Fitness years ago. And I haven't stopped stretching since.
Keep these informative videos coming, I'm learning a lot from your channel.
This is the most comprehensive stretching talk I've ever watched. I learned alot thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
you as well!
I do 10-15 second static stretches in btw sets and I feel like I get more out of the workout. I have been injury free for 10+ years.
I personally get some really bad low back pain. Stretching my hip flexors allow me to use my abs and allow my low back to relax.
Not going to lie - I saw the Sabretooth action figure and immediately knew this would be a good video.
Booom!
Great as always. When you speak it feels like experience is speaking. Love all your videos, thank you. Thank you :)
I stretch after a few light warm ups snd continue to stretch between sets. If I dont stretch between sets I get tendonitis every single time. I also get bad charlie horses if I dont stretch.
Keep uploading buddy
I think dynamic stretching pre workout and stretching under load during the workout and ensuring I'm working a given muscle through it's full range of motion works great for me.
Very interesting to get the opinion on this topic by somebody so experienced.Best of health and happy holidays to you and your family John !
I find just a quick 5 minute stretch routine after a session in the gym just helps with my mobility and breathing. Especially if I do it for my upper body as well as my legs and abs. I typically walk to the gym and walk home from the gym and I do notice a difference. It's just over a mile each way and walking home after I've had a shower and stretched after a session is a lot more comfortable. Even if it's just a placebo effect it does make me feel better so I've never seen the harm in stretching providing you/I don't do too much of it. A lot of my Massage Therapy clients got benefits and pain relief from some PNF and static stretches too, but again I don't do anything excessive.
Thank you like always, great stretching explanation!

2:20 you're referring to the patented Platz Pulitzer Prize Popper .
For the people who have tight hamstrings so bad that it hurts for holding a stretch even for 10 seconds the most incredible way how i relieved my hamstrings was by smoking weed there was still pain but not to the point it became unbearable within a week i could already touch my toes its incredible. And I'm not a daily smoker either i discovered it on accident one day smoking weed instead of a beer outside my yard. And was like hey i forgot to stretch. Boy let me tell ya best stretching help tool by far!!!
martial arts Bruce Lee
He wasn't as big as bodybuilders but he was put together well.
I can't get a bar to my chest. If i stretch maybe it would help growth. Range of motion thing
I definitely know what you mean about stability loss ( squat for me as well) due to gaining flexibility, kinda awesome to get more ass to grass but any loss is too much for my stubborn ego to work around if I'm honest. Any videos coming up for your top upper body stretches?
yep in 1 - 2 weeks!
Rip legend
Sprinters at 200 meter race they do stretch 2 seconds to the start race ..just for perspective input .
When I stretched all the time and walked a lot I certainly squatted a lot better lol. Could get 5 plates at one point when I was very consistent. Pretty good a natty with a short torso and long legs.
It amazes me how many guys I see lifting heavy, put the weights down and then just walk straight out of the door.
Stretching is as fundamental to getting into good shape as lifting weights and diet.
thanks John... ive injured my lower back lumbar region to glutes because of deadlifting.. what advice can you give?
If you could be any superhero, which would you choose?
Professor X - so I could read minds...would love to see who real friends are and who fakes are
Imagine having Wolverine’s healing factor, though. You could do a workout and then redo it again immediately as you already recovered. :)
John, i hurt my piriformis while deadlifting over a year ago (was actually a really good day, altough i felt a little burn in my left butt cheek, and then it happened when i flexed my glutes at the top and it felt kinda like i ripped my ass off :P) I can still feel it in my hamstrings when i go into that position like i would when lifting heavy stuff of the ground. It's gotten much better over the past few months (started stretching ;)), so im acutally squatting heavy again and pushed a new PR. But i still feel like it's not a good idea to start deadlifting again as long as i can feel it in my hamstrings. Do you have any recommendation what i could do to fix it?
i might seek out a MAT practitioner to make sure all the muscle in that area are firing properly as step 1 my friend
@@mountaindog1 Thanks for replying! I had to google MAT, but unfortunately it seems like we don't have it in germany :(
bummer :(
i stretch in between sets, more out of habit than anything
Make it a lifestyle to stretch .. for muscle tightness. But that’s all !
This video is 8 y ago 🙃
