Dynamic Stretching: Lower Body (5/20/2007)

[cihan822006]

you should try the first exercises supporting foot elevated(dropping the moving leg) so that your hip flexors are relaxed

[dinosex123]

the names to these exericises are definitely awesome.

This is FANTASTIC i didn't even know about dynamic stretching till 2 days ago and I'm a champion dancer. so now I finally know some to do!!! :D

[frankikumar]

good

[amazinmonkey]

the golf ball pick ups are done wrong.. they are the 1 legged RDLs (romanian dead lift) Arms should be kept to the side or have a light bar over shoulders and the hands resting along this. keep the back firm and not arched and go down to about 90deg or parallel to the floor. the rest is pretty good. what about upper body tho?

[tigerak02]

I have one as well, look through the vids

[mclovinbryson]

@amazinmonkey owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww keyboard warrior you should put a video up!

[felishumanus]

and before this stretching you make some general warm-up?

[tigerak02]

this IS the general "warm-up" after I head straight to the bar and start squatting.

[felishumanus]

Undying gratitude. You're really somebody

[felishumanus]

You make some amount of reps and sets?

[tigerak02]

usually 8-12 a side

[felishumanus]

thanks tiger

Great dynamic stretching routine. When is the best time for static stretching?

[tigerak02]

either do it on off days or at the end of the training session.

[tigerak02]

lol, it's just a sleeve-less shirt over an underarmour sleeve-less shirt.

[mkj22]

Very useful, thanks. What is that green thing you're wearing for and called?

[kraftsportNO]

interesting movie mr. tigerak. do you have any competition videos from powerlifting meets yet?

[stitch462]

ive incorporated a few of these into my workouts thanks

[tigerak02]

you should DEFINITELY dynamic stretch before workouts, prevents injury and preps your body.

[ballahollic44]

does include in the 1 hour training or do you exclude the time from the strenth training

[tigerak02]

it's around 10 min. spent before the warm-up sets.

[NartSaga]

Thanks. My understanding is this: (please correct me if I am wrong)

Static Stretching increases your overall flexibility. When done after a training session it also relaxes the muscles. But it is not good before a game or training session.

Dynamic Stretching is in a way like a warm up. But you are still doing stretching just not in the sense of "pushing your limits" as in static stretching.

[tigerak02]

yep u got the gist

[GHOSTrun]

hmm......I wonder if I should encorporate a 'proper' stretching routine?....I umm have never like really done stretching before since starting lifting...for warmups I just go through the ROM with lighter weights for warmup sets etc, tell me more bout this alex.
