for men: The “new rules” of stretching
Published: Wed, 12/13/17
Furthermore, many professionals have prescribed stretching before exercise as a form of warm up. This is wrong.
A study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research concluded that if you stretch before you lift weights, you could find yourself weaker and "off balanced" in your workouts. Not something we want when hoisting hundreds of pounds of metal.
Instead, the ideal time to stretch for overall health, performance and increasing muscle mass is right after your workout.
At this point, the connective tissues are already being stretched from the blood volume in the muscles.
By manually stretching the muscles post workout, you get a double whammy effect; dramatically increasing the muscle fibers growth potential.
But simple static stretches won't cut it for men. Static stretches "feminize men" making them weaker.
Instead you need to start using anabolic stretching. Anabolic stretching has been shown to increase muscle growth by 334%, testosterone b 57% and can double GH.
