Stretching FAQ

cientista's picture

Here is a link to an old school stretching and flexibility FAQ. It will answer many simple and complex questions you may have on the nature of stretching your muscles and joints. Personally I have found this resource invaluable and continue to refer to it to this day

PNF stretching for gains 2x per week

Most people don't stretch effectively due to the lack of research and writing on the topic. Personally, I'm the only guy I know who can drop easily into the front splits and it just took me a few months of PNF stretching, starting when I was 32 years old.
I recommend the flexibility portion of trickstutorials.com and the book by Thomas Kurz.
