How much do you streach?

[Tiervexx]

How much time do you spend streching? I've heard that you should streach about 30 min a day but it seems like alot of powerlifters have very little flexabilaty. So when and how much should i streach?

I don't think I have ever Streached before, sounds kind of weird but I do stretch before workouts. i try to run on the tred for about 5 min to loosen up, then stretch out the body part/parts i will be working that day.

5-10 minutes before and after but am interested in DC's stretching techniques.

I always stretch for specific muscles before a workout. But lately, i have been doing cardio on my non-work days and have been stretching afterwards. Trying to work the whole "active recovery" angle and get blood flowing to the muscles.

I stretch every day, for about 30-45 minutes a session. I always stretch after my workouts. I do stretch a little after my warmup too but for the most part, I stretch after my workout.

30-40 minutes an hour or so post workout and off day evenings(injuries allowing).

Tom Platz could do full splits side and front.

Stretch out for a few minutes before my workout and off-and-on during my workout (in between reps/sets).

main stretching is done before lifting...and a little between sets.

 

[WarriorPL]

about 10 minutes before a workout.

Only time i stretch during a workout is if i feel a little discomfort or tight.
