Why Stretching Before Lifting Weights Could Be Sabotaging Your Gains – Here’s What Science Really Says!
Studies have shown that stretching prior to lifting weights disorients this connection and can result in weights being lowered to a deeper point than your body is prepared to lift from. This may be okay for the muscles being directly trained, but the support muscles have no clue how to respond to this new challenge. So with these natural stopping points thrown out-of-whack, injuries are far more likely to follow.
Moreover, stretching before weightlifting would be an unwise decision for no other reason than stretching a muscle when it’s cold is dangerous and significantly boosts the likelihood of hurting it in comparison to the stretching of muscles that have been pre-warmed.
