Kept assistance exercises to a minimum. Will attempt 297.5kgs next week for 2 reps. With more assistance work, alternate every other week to avoid over training. Good spotting by Flex!!! _________________ www.chrisjenkins330@hotmail.com |

 | BIG lifts Chris, You are a powerlifter right? Why all the stretching at the start? I assume it is to prevent injury but in power sports it's actually detrimental to stretch before hand. Think 'elastic tension' in the muscles, plus you desensitise the stretch reflex which protects your muscles. Stretching when cool as you appear to be, is a bigger risk factor to injury too statisically. I am sure you know what you are doing, so what I am suggesting is, as your warm up is very progressive, you don't need the stretches and maybe should try a session without, you might just be stronger! (although you is damn strong already mate lol). Seriously ther are loads of studies on this and the effect of pre-stretching on plyometric jumps for example. Another fly in the ointment lol  Regards SD

I need a certain degree of flexibility in body, e.g. the arch in my back for benching. No flexibilty in my back=no arch=longer path for the bar to travel along.The greater the arch the less distance the bar has to travel. every morning I stretch my hamstrings and lower back, a few months back I stopped doing this and lost a little flexibility in my legs and lower back. I found that my deadlift suffered, I note everything I do for my training. The only thing I changed was the stretching. I know several powerlifters who are against stretching and having 2 much flexibilty. This is an interesting topic for me, everybody has a different body. But I personaly feel a lot better after a good stretch, Ive heared the notion that powerlifters are supposed to stay tight, which I am in certain areas. But I realy honestly believe the powerlifter should have some flexibilty in the body. | |
