(handstands 20 feet in the air on stacked chairs wtf) I have a gymnast friend who showed me 75 pullups in under a minute. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Also.... ![[image loading]](http://www.legendarystrength.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fingertip-handstand-212x300.jpg) @sjarl and zafrumi; Thanks for the input. While I think we can pretty much agree that a high volume of stretching isn't necessary to weightlifting at least a small amount does remain absolutely essential. I actually watched a discussion with Rippetoe earlier today where he talks about your "due diligence" in training. What he meant was that each training disciple can benefit from some cross-over with each other. For instance a runner's main focus would be cardio and running however some limited strength training would be beneficial. Same with weight lifting and stretching. Nothing outlandish just like 10 min a day or whatever. Also I wouldn't want to outline a specific 'schedule' for anyone really. Just create a library of useful moves with the appropriate technical explanations. Also I've always personally believed that being overall flexible is a key component of health and fitness. Although probably 90% of this thread is about weight training I don't think that discussion should be to the exclusion of other complementary H&F concepts. There's another thing my hs coach used to say to us (my team) with stretching. (I may have already said it here in a way earlier post but I haven't been able to find it.) It's that stretching should be complementary. As in; you are not only supposed to stretch muscles and ligaments that you are using or using the most in any given activity, but you should be stretching even the areas that wouldn't normally get much work from weight or a high ROM. Personally, I've applied that principle pretty darn religiously to my own routine. In general I'm not even talking from a goal of "becoming more flexible" but of a goal of stretching out areas that don't get targeted as much in a lot of the lifts we are doing in this thread. Rip has said that the squat itself becomes a stretch for those muscles involved. But it's the ones we don't use as much that remain tight and are neglected. Also, there's no overall "best stretch" for each body part. So variety is helpful. If someone has been doing towel hamstring stretches forever and is fairly flexible in that direction they may still be horribly tight if they switched to a hurdle stretch. Essentially it targets many of the same parts but the slight change in angle and all that results in a very different stretch overall even though they'd both most likely be categorized as "hamstring stretches". So this has turned into a pretty lengthy primer of what I'd like to do, and the more I write down my ideas the more I am thinking of how big this will actually be LoL. Anyway I'm anxious to hear from eshlow or anyone else with professional experience in physical therapy or a similar background. edit:/ Oh and I forgot to mention. I do have a readily available source of information to assist in any research I will need to do. My mom works for an orthopedic doctor and surgeon who specializes in sports injuries and rehab. So I've pretty much been nearly inundated with random bits of information on this topic all my life. | ||

I say 187cm but might be 186. Not keen on finding out for sure, since I thought I was 188 my whole life. Not entirely sure if a new forum wud be best but we shud def try it. A stretching series wud be great tho there r utube vids n probably playlists, n stuff on torrent so I wud check that stuff out n see if u can improve upon it n make sumthing more comprehensive. | ||

Quick edit: Will lifting weights constrain movement and/or flexibility? you know, most of the weightlifters are that big because they eat whatever the fuck they want so they get the strength that is needed to throw huge ass weights above your head. and to get the calories necessary for that, you almost have to eat dirty alot. dont worry though, you will definitely not look like them without years of dedication and hard HARD training. filling out your frame means getting a decent V shape, putting on some muscle mass and just look better, more attractive and more badass. lifting weights will make you strong. and strong beings are generally more useful than weaker beings. edit: about golf: It seems pretty logical to me that the stronger you are, the farther you can hit the golf ball. and granted I dont know much about the sport, but that sounds like a good thing no? I dont really see the downside, but maybe you can tell us exactly what you are afraid of so we can put your mind at ease and get you to join our (awesome!) club 2nd edit: Quick edit: Will lifting weights constrain movement and/or flexibility? if anything you will get more flexible! you can also do some strechtes to improve your flexibility. maybe ask MajinMojo! he seems to be an expert on the subject hehe | ||
