Zander - thx

Lifter - how so???

hmmmm its explained pretty well in beyond stretching... the short of it as i recall is increased ROM requires increased strength for that ROM, something thats overlooked... i can look it up if you want.

also I recal poliquin has said that you want only as much flexability as your sport requires, and a tad more.

Im looking into yoga classes now. Im as flexable as a 2x4 and uncoordinated to boot, so I think it will help a lot.

Is it ok to have wood in yoga class?

The strong force that keeps you from streching farther is the same force that would come into play in a sport that could prevent an injury. Having good flexability would allow you to strech and conturt (if thats a word) into unstable and dangerous positions where injurys are dominant.
So I don't think flexability is all that important as long as you have even for your everyday life needs. I actually do do yoga occasionally mostly because its relaxing.

I totally disagree. You have it backwards bro. Its too early to get into it, but this is so wrong that I had to point it out. Flexability is an important asset in prevention of new injuries, as well as the safe recovery and protection of prior injuries.

In all my years of sports, I've always stretched to prevent injuries!

I actually think he's pretty close on this one... i'm gonna go search for beyond stretching and i'll get back to you guys later today or tommorrow.
