Do you stretch?
Was just wondering if people stetch to avoid injuries or do you just jump straight into it and start throwing weights around?

I have to admit i know i should but i dont warm up properly i do a couple of warm up sets at bout 50% - 70% of my working weight but i dont really do any stretches and im staring to feel more aches and pains in the colder days. Also i always seem to hurt my traps when doing shrugs cos i just go straight into them.

Prob is i always think im gonna look stupid if im stretching...but always feel stupider when i get injured.:crazy:

Re: Do you stretch?
I think you answered your own question

But yeah i warm up with cardio first, then do a warm up set per exercise (unless the excercise is v similar to the last one). I have started to slack on my actual stretching though - which i must address

Re: Do you stretch?
I never used to stretch but after hurting myself a few years ago It kinda changed my out look on it. Now I stretch my shoulders and chest before doing press's.

Re: Do you stretch?
Never stretch a cold muscle.

I used to stretch 3 times a week at the beach in warm sand.

Stretching is important for range of motion, we all will lose range as we get older, stretching minimises this.

Stretching before training can actually reduce performance.

Re: Do you stretch?
I warm up as normal & stretch between each working set (depending what muscle I am training).
