Why Stretching Before Lifting Weights Could Be Sabotaging Your Gains – Here’s What Science Really Says!
What can I do to loosen up before lifting weights if I can’t stretch?
It’s pretty simple, actually: If you begin your weight training with a few warm-up sets, your muscles will naturally loosen themselves while maintaining ordinary ranges of elasticity that your support muscles will be comfortable working within. Then, once your workout reaches its conclusion, you can engage in a full round of stretching.
So it’s not that you don’t want to stretch when you’re hitting the weight room; it’s just that the thing you need to be most flexible about is the order of operations — always being sure to stretch after you’ve put down the weights, not beforehand.
