How often you see people in gym stretching? How often you stretch muscles after workout, or at home?
Actually that is very important aspect of muscle growth and muscle look.
By stretching muscles you will:
- loosen up joints;
- relax muscles;
- get there more blood thus more nutritional elements;
- increase flexibility;
- get enhanced coordination;
- feel better in regards of movements and generally easier after a workout;
Enough reasons to do it, right? Now the main question when and how to stretch muscles correct?
I don’t recommend stretching before workout. I did this a few times and it always affected in negative way my workout.
Between sets I do some short stretching from time to time. For example during a workout I can do 2 small stretches not more.
The important fact is to stretch muscles AFTER WORKOUT, this will fasten recuperation process and muscle growth.
