Does stretching really prevent injury? I recently read there is no correlation between stretching and injury prevention.
I mean, a lion does not warm up before it attacks on a deer or wilderbeest.
-
I have pulled things when I fail to stretch. Achilles and hamstring.
-
IMO no,never stretched anything.I think stretching a cold muscle is dangerous.
-
Never stretched in my life and suffered no ill affects off it
-
There are different types of stretching. Static, dynamic, isometric.
Static stretching doesn't prevent injury. It can even make injury more likely particularly if you stretch before you workout.
Dynamic stretching, however, is good before you workout. Getting blood into a joint and muscles before working can prevent injury.
If you want to do static stretching do it after you work out when your muscles and joints are warmed up.
What stretching does is make you more flexible which is beneficial to certain activities like martial arts.
Flexibility is good for some things but detrimental to other things. Excessive flexibility is generally detrimental to strength and power training.

Listen to this guy.
Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz is a great book that covers all of these different stretches.
-
You need a range of motion so you won't get injured. Anything extra is a waste. Too much flexibility is a sign of weakness. Dynamic stretching is the way to go. You will never see a sprinter do static stretches prior to running. They do bouncing stretches that for decades the "experts" say was dangerous. Static stretches can decrease power.
-
Stretching is for the foolish and naive. I believe that one turns to stretching only when there is an inner genetic inadequacy or an outer impediment to development: in either case, the jelg will always be on you.
-
Never did a bit of stretching.
As a result,I have zero flexibility even when I was much younger.

I'll say this much...since returning to the gym after my bicep tendon tear, I start every workout with about 10-15 minutes of band, cable, very light dbells, and stretching movements that I was put through when I did PT. If I am training back or arms, I go to the gym that has the hand-bike (which is how every PT session started) for 1 minute forward then 1 minute backward for each arm before that other stuff. The shoulder and elbow nagging pains that I had for almost all of my heavy training years and into my 30's & 40's has improved by I'd say 65-75% if I had to put a number on it.
My lower back, and legs are another story, but I think that's just part of creeping to 50. I need to get back to yoga like I did when I was around 38. Just took around 20 poses that I got from 3 different dvds, and did that 3-4 times a week in the mornings. Only takes 25-30 minutes tops, and made a huge difference. It's just a pain in the ass to get in the habit of doing that on top of cardio in the a.m.
As for your theory on the lion....that's not true. Watch your cat or dog when they get up from resting. They stretch almost every time as every waking moment is instinctually about being ready to find food.
-

Same here. Never stretched and never had any injuries, other than the minor aches and pains that come with lifting.

It's coming. Age gets everyone.
Maybe having MPD works to your advantage in this regard? You don't stay in one personality long enough to agonize your joint pain or muscle aches.

Please dont compare domesticated pets to the king of the jungle.
Dogs and cats eat from bowls provided for them. You ever see a lion eat from a bowl?
I try to use that hand bike on pressing days, I dont think its very effective. What are you setting the resistance at?

I have never seen a lion stretch, then immediately pounce on another animal. It's usually from stalking the prey, right to full on sprint. I have never seen a lion stalk a prey, stop to stretch, then spring toward the prey. ??? ???

I'm just making a simple analogy for a simple mind....relax.
As for the hand bike question, I don't know. It just has a knob you turn with + and - symbols on it. It's not to warm up my muscles, it's for my tendons. It's a stand up one so I kind of keep positioning myself at different angles while doing it. The resistance level is probably pretty minimal compared to what you're using it for from the sound of it. I just never want to feel and hear a tendon pop free again. 8)

The only time I've EVER seen Lions stretch was before practice or a game. And these are pro football players so that should tell you something.
But this also reminds me of a story my grandfather would tell me when I was growing up:
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up and instinctively knows it must out run the fastest lion or be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up and knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't make if you're the gazelle or the lion, when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
Nothing about either one of them stretching.

It's a tendon warm up? The gyms I visit have both the standing and seated versions. I never see anyone use them so i'm not entirely sure I use it correctly.
I'll Google a video and see what I can learn. Thanks bro

I'll ask Zenadine Zidan (Real Madrid coach) about worm up/stretching of football players ;)

If it works for you and feel it makes a difference, then do it. If not, don’t waste your time. I personally can tell my lower back hurts more when the hammys are tight.

Chest, shoulder and hips are critical if you’re in the game long enough. If you neglect working on mobility in these areas, it’s only a matter if time until problems rear their ugly head.

I could definitely see hips and shoulders being important to warm up.

I do not routinely stretch, as I find it boring.
Maybe I’ll have to include it into my training regimen.

I really upped the cardio the last couple of years and found foam rolling has helped with my hips, lower back and completely alleviated sciatica.
Stretching has also helped with my lumbar issues.

If someone cant touch their toe's, that's a problem. If someone can bend in half and blow them-self, also a problem.
People over think and over do things.
Do what you want, and what feels good (like blowing yourself), but being flexible as you age is better than being a stiff board.

Absofreakinglutley.
You're not a lion, you're a human being. There's various types of stretching appropriate for certain situations. There's static and dynamic stretching for instance. If you lift or you're a bodybuilder stretching should be apart of your arsenal. Not just for injury prevention but for, ROM and aesthetic reasons as well.

I stretch so much more now than in my youth but flexibility is something that diminishes quickly.

what is the need for the extra cardio?
i just love to hear other opinions on cardio

If I could blow myself,I`d never leave the house!

As a whole, it’s overrated, but, if you have tight muscles, as I do, a little bit does help keep you from getting overly tight and pulling things.
The entire routine should take a few minutes. Stretching for an hour is idiotic and will probably get you hurt more than it will help.

Obviously, you have never participated in physical sports. Or if you have you probably sucked at it. Try to do MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, gymnastics, Olympic Lifting, track and field, Muy Thai... without stretching and having above average flexibility.
The general public won't appreciate this mount that BJ Penn got on Renzo Gracie. Virtually everybody throws their right leg up and over their opponent to get the mount position. But this leaves space so the opponent can prevent the mount by blocking with his knee putting it between him and the mounting leg. Sort of like doing a knee strike lying down. Though it looks easy only someone with the flexibility of a BJ Penn can literally slither his leg through Renzo's waistline leaving virtually no space for Renzo to defend.
You can be sure Penn spent a bit of time stretching during his MMA career.
Looks easy? You try it.

yes it helps. think about it...
The exaggerate my point. For example, when you get muscle cramps you stretch the muscle and it helps it go away. The muscle is tight it's the same thing.
Now imaging going doing heavy bench press with muscle cramps in your pecs. Yeah... not a good idea.

Yes, why would I not because they're homosexual? That doesn't mean anything. If they cross a line, that's another story but I'm not going to assume they will just because they like men. It's a therapeutic massage not sexual.

Pellius enters evidence of the benefits of flexibility from one of the elite MMA fighters in the world into a benefit of flexibility in the bench press discussion.

I stretch a lot, since my back, hamstrings, psoas, etc. stiffen up after running/walking, probably due to various deadlift/squat related injuries over the years. However, eating low-carb did way more for loosening my muscles than stretching. No idwa why. Its hell on the heart, though, so stretching it is.

MMA expert, protector of western freedoms, friend of Mark Furman, bum fighter and window air conditioning unit installer "Pellius" owned me.
Obviously this discussion was about the benefits of stretching for MMA competitions. When SF1900 posted his initial question I thought it was about lions, but thinking about it further I realize jungle cats are the originators of MMA. For them it's a way of life.
"Pellius" what is wrong with you? You're very angry.
You act like you cant stand the members here yet you post every detail of your life on this board. You cant take a compliment nor a joke and in every discussion you act like you're the final authority on every matter. You insult everyone who disagrees or even questions you and then get upset because you end up getting lambasted for it.
Why do you post here, obviously by your tone and response the members here are far beneath you in status and intelligence, as it seems you really loathe this place?
Also kudos to you for living a "fantastic" and "amazing" life prior to getbig's existence but you need to realize you're just like the old bodybuilders Oldtimer1 refers to, they carry a crumpled picture of their former self in their wallet that they show everyone and continually refer to the past glory days.
You cant treat everyone like garbage and expect to be respected here.
-
Obviously, you have never participated in physical sports. Or if you have you probably sucked at it.
Never a strong argument when you have to appeal to power - “ so and so is a world champion and he does it”
In a past life I competed at national level in cycling. Beat a Pan American games gold medalist in a road race, was in the top 10 against Tour de France and World Championship medallists. And I found stretching to be of zero value. Tried it, did yoga a while, etc.
So to each his own. If you find it useful then do it.

Not so much in cycling. But as age takes its toll your lack of flexibility will impact virtually everything you do.

You post a legitimate response to Khan's sarcastic response about why stretching is worthless. Let's not forget that you even clicked on the thread in the first place.
You seem like you dont like anyone. One week you're posting about some homeless lady at a bus stop and then later about fighting a homeless guy and running from the cops.
I wasnt implying you carry an actual photo it was a metaphor. But you have a hard time deciphering what is being said on here peroid.
Good luck to you bro.

Not sure about the point you're trying to make about me clicking on this thread. The topic interests me so I clicked on it.
I really don't understand much of what Khan's says. The pedantic vocabulary is a bit much for me. He's like the bber who always walks around in spandex shorts and a T-back tank top. We get it! You're jacked. Now put some clothes on and tone down the posturing. Except Khan does it on an intellectual level. We get it. You're educated and read a lot of books. I use to think it's just an act, and I still think it is on some level, but he never breaks character. He makes the late William F. Buckley seem like he's talking in Eubonics. It gets old. Just talk like a normal human being FFS.
I never start shit with anyone. I only respond to it. Just like with conker. Just like with Basile. And now you. Before this thread, I didn't know who you are and never addressed you. Nothing about you stood out and you were just part of the GetBig background chatter. But apparently, you follow me very closely. You make reference to things I don't even remember (I mentioned about installing an air conditioner?) And now you make some snide nonsensical comment and, like the rest, whine when I come back in kind.
And loathe this place? I've been here for over a decade and have over ten thousand posts. I have mentioned countless times how unique this board is. It's ostensibly a bbing board but it far transcends that. I like OMR'S description that it's an "everything" board. No board comes close to the variety of topics discussed. This is a great board.
It's the gimmick and trolls that have gotten to me.
It is true that I have many times mistaken sarcasm for insults and when pointed out I am quick to apologize. Much is lost in the written word where familiarity, tone, expression, and delivery can make all the difference.
And there are many here that I feel I know, like, and would love to meet irl. There are a few that I keep in regular contact with that posts on this board and that no longer post on this board.

And loathe this place? I've been here for over a decade and have over ten thousand posts. I have mentioned countless times how unique this board is. It's ostensibly a bbing board but it far transcends that. I like OMR'S description that it's an "everything" board. No board comes close to the variety of topics discussed. This is a great board.
It's the gimmick and trolls that have gotten to me.
It is true that I have many times mistaken sarcasm for insults and when pointed out I am quick to apologize. Much is lost in the written word where familiarity, tone, expression, and delivery can make all the difference.
And there are many here that I feel I know, like, and would love to meet irl. There are a few that I keep in regular contact with that posts on this board and that no longer post on this board.
You're right bro i'm a moron.
You respond to my picture analogy by saying you dont carry pictures and now you're referring to Khans posts as the equivalent to a scantily clad bodybuilder? Is this really happening?
I'm following you closely ::), you a member with 10k posts, that has posted photo of himself and routinely posts details of his private life on a public forum. Thanks for clarifying my obsession for me.
And apparently you didn't create a thread about installing an ac unit but it was about working in a hardware store in Hawaii learning new skills that you always wished you had. Maybe I lumped a story in with yours. I'm a poor stalker.
You never start anything with anyone yet you insult Kahn, remember I commented on his post about your post, who wasnt addressing you at all. And when he did address you make a stupid comment about his baseball picture being from little league, a comment so dumb that it could have been made by the morons you so despise.
I'm sorry I upset you but as a moron I dont know any better.
Bro if you're trolling hats off to you, because you're doing a fantastic job.
I realize arguing with you is futile.

Not sure about the point you're trying to make about me clicking on this thread. The topic interests me so I clicked on it.
I really don't understand much of what Khan's says. The pedantic vocabulary is a bit much for me. He's like the bber who always walks around in spandex shorts and a T-back tank top. We get it! You're jacked. Now put some clothes on and tone down the posturing. Except Khan does it on an intellectual level. We get it. You're educated and read a lot of books. I use to think it's just an act, and I still think it is on some level, but he never breaks character. He makes the late William F. Buckley seem like he's talking in Eubonics. It gets old. Just talk like a normal human being FFS.
I never start shit with anyone. I only respond to it. Just like with conker. Just like with Basile. And now you. Before this thread, I didn't know who you are and never addressed you. Nothing about you stood out and you were just part of the GetBig background chatter. But apparently, you follow me very closely. You make reference to things I don't even remember (I mentioned about installing an air conditioner?) And now you make some snide nonsensical comment and, like the rest, whine when I come back in kind.

Yes, it's happening.
And I didn't say I never mentioned installing an a/c, just that I don't remember. Try to keep up.
Khan made a sarcastic and odd statement about stretching. Never quite sure how to take him. Looking back at my response I see it was a bit harsh and aggressive. I think it was the first time I've ever responded directly to him though he does stand out as one of the posters I do notice and makes an impression.
Referring to my success in little league, which diminished exponentially as I advanced through the ranks, in no way implies that I was referring to his pic as being from little league. I would think that would be obvious.
Resistance is futile.

Never did a bit of stretching.
As a result,I have zero flexibility even when I was much younger.
This.
When you're young who cares. But ages will do anything to make moving withou pain a challenge.
