Stretching.. stretching

[Zylka]

The day after a workout.. when your muscles are real sore and you can get that "crcccrrkk" out of stretching them. Is it beneficial to then stretch?

I know you're supposed to stretch both before ,and a few hours after, the workout. Yet is there any additional advantage to stretching the day(s) after?

Or perhaps it's doing damage to what your body is then trying to heal as muscle??

Ehrr, have you tried to stretch out immediatedly after workout, that is when your muscles still are stretchable ?

Are you working out the day after?

When I actively competed in Martial Arts, I worked out 7 days a week usually

Stretching was imperative on everyday

even after freesparring heavily the prior day

Stretching right after workout.

Other than that, suck it up and just let it fly young master.

What workout are you doing? When you say workout it can be anything from golf to wight lifting.

Stretching never does your body harm. What it does is removes acid from your muscles (that's the burning feeling you get when you stretch.)

What's important is both when you stretch and HOW you stretch.

After your workout (not a few hours after, but soon after) go into a sauna or your shower and stretch the major muscles there. Heat opens up your muscles, allowing for better flexibility.

I stretch when I wake up, before my workout, after my workout in the shower, and before I go to bed.

I can put my leg behind my head. Can you?

Why would you want to do that? Easy access?

I know a guy who can do that. It's not something to be proud of.

I can put my arm behind my head though!
