Workouts And Stretching

[fliesenfuzzi]

Very good info again!

My favourite warm up(strength training) is cardiovascular warm up

after foam rolling followed by joint warm up and dynamic warm up.

Sounds a lot but it takes 5-7minutes and I feel years younger!! :-)

@fliesenfuzzi But I still will be able to legally buy beer, won't I? ;)

How about stretching before cardio workout?

[AIversonI]

Great topic Evil. I know it's bad to stretch a cold muscle, but I thought that's why you did a cardio warm up b4 you started your weights routine..... so as to get the blood flow running through your body?

[Evilcyber]

@AIversonI In general, yes. However, I'd say it is preferrable to specifically warm up the muscles you are going to use with the movements going to be done.

[AIversonI]

@Evilcyber Thanks for replying! :)

Thanks Evil! I was wondering about this recently, so I'm fortunate that you posted this. Anyways, if you have time for a question, what would be the best way of increasing your overall flexibility? I've made some great strength gains, but I've noticed that I'm quite unflexible, I can't even touch my toes w/o bending my knees. Any suggestions? And increasing overall flexibility wont hurt my strength will it?

[Evilcyber]

@Leudast1 I'd say go for stretches post-workout, but make sure you stop before it hurts. Over time your flexibility should increase.

Wieder mal wunderbar! Ich glaube soviele Leute stretchen ganz instinktiv vor jeglicher Art von Sport/Bewegung, weil man das im typischen Turnunterricht meistens so mitbekommen hat. Dann schleichen sich noch abstruse Mythen wie "Stretchen hilft gegen Muskelkater" ein und zack, macht man eigentlich was total kontraproduktives und reizt seine Muskel bevor man überhaupt begonnen hat zu trainieren ^^

[Evilcyber]

@MsWingx So sehe ich das auch. Viel wird gemacht, weil es andere so machen oder weil es immer schon so gemacht wurde.

great video..i always thought stretching b4 a workout was necessary, thanks for the info Evilcyber!!

[Evilcyber]

@MrBeatlerpage Glad you found it helpful, man! :)

[CsMonstruM]

Thanks Evil, I didn't know that stretching is important.

From now on I'll stretch every day ;)

[Evilcyber]

@JimboJ1981 Thanks Jimbo! Hope it cleared things up a bit! :)

[steveteaches]

i feel as though i recognize those citations?

[Evilcyber]

@steveteaches It's basically the best material on the subject I found and it is very likely others came to the same conclusion.

Awesome video. Good job Evil!

[Evilcyber]

@KuIJohnQ Glad you enjoyed it, John! :)

[runescapeclassicable]

are u sure there r only 2 types of stretching .??

[Evilcyber]

@runescapeclassicable Basically yes, although dynamic and static can be taken further apart into ballistic stretching (where you use momentum to go beyond your normal ROM), static-passive (where you support the stretched limb with a hand) or static-active (where the limb is held in position without help of the ground, a wall or hand).

[runescapeclassicable]

@Evilcyber thats wat i was talking about...

i was like omg only 2 types but i hv read many types (:
