STRETCHING - Strength Builder OR Strength Buster (REVEALED!)

The Complete 90 Day System: http://athleanx.com

Stretching. Is it good or bad? It sounds like it's a good thing, but is it always a good thing? I'm going to show you in this video if stretching muscles before a workout is a strength builder or a strength buster. The truth may shock you.

When trying to build muscle or build new strength one will often hit the gym and get ready for their workout by going through a static stretch routine. The problem is that this is actually the worst kind of warmup that you can do to prepare your body for the workout.

To maximize the workout and your ability to build strength (and not lose strength) you're going to want to stick to the right type of stretching. A dynamic stretching routine (one where you don't hold any one stretch for more than 5-10 seconds) is a much better way to awaken the muscles, get some blood flow, while still holding onto the strength that can be lost as the muscles lose their ability to form a strong contraction from static stretching.

For more information on stretching, the right ways to stretch, and the best stretching exercises that you can do in your workout...as well as the best ways to build strength, the best strength builder exercises and the best ways to avoid losing strength head to http://athleanx.com to get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

@philhand124 To combine strength and agility you need to do high intensity workouts and always stretch at the end... the best is to workout combining light and heavy weights in the same session, for example I would do the renegade dumbbells for the back with 25 pounds 20 reps fast and with no rest in between jump to the dumbbell row with a 65 pounds, and also reverse the order... I do Thai boxing and with this type of training I have both strength and speed, am 47, check my 50YY channel to see

Jeff,I have a couple of questions for you...First:Is stretching between sets good?Example:I' do one set of bench press,and then i stretch myself a little bit...Second:I want to stretch my legs until i could do rope,and i want to do it fast,or at least to speed it up a bit.Can you advise me?I'd really apreciate it!Thanks:)

Jeff, can you go deeper into golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles? I know that when a muscle contracts, the gto is discharged and when a muscle is stretched the muscle spindles are discharged, but what does this mean exactly and what else happens?

Or we can stay on jeffs channel and listen to his great advice that natural as well

I have some questions. I need a lot of flexibility because of martial arts I'm involved in. I'm trying to work out on top of that training every time i get into it I lose a lot of movement,  when i gain the mobility, i lose the strength. How can I remedy this? (and I like the science)
