#277: Stretching For Hypertrophy & Performance

from 3D Muscle Journey Hosted by 3D Muscle Journey

The big question…Is long-duration static stretching redundant if someone is already resistance training or does it provide complementary effects? Nick, Eric, and Brad discuss this and many other stretching-related questions. Does static stretching before exercise help prevent injury? Can stretching cause muscular hypertrophy? How could someone use static stretching to potentially help prevent or reduce detraining when traveling? How does Brad commonly program stretching for his athletes? When are good times to static stretch? How intense should your stretching be? What are signs you should stop a stretch? Can resistance training itself improve range of motion? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
