I have noticed how stiff I feel at school sometimes, its a very bad feeling especially when I'm at school when I know I can't do anything about it. Can anyone give me some basic stretches to do that will cover the whole body. I know of a few for lower body but that is it. Also will stretching cause me to loose strength in my compound lifts like squat and deadlift? ------------------     | ||

Try doing any stretching that...feels like you are stretching. It is important to keep the lower back, hams, quads, shoulders, tri's, and chest very flexible to prevent injuries. I do not like to stretch much at all, if any, before doing my workouts. I do not feel as strong. B True | ||

I stretch like motherfucker..i always have, i can do the splits cold, no problem. I dunno if it reduces you strenght. But i can tell you what it does. It prevents injuries, sure you dont think about it much, but its important as hell. As for giving a real stretching program, its hard to describe stretching movments...Damne hard ------------------ "Pain, is just weakness leaving your body" "...damn you for not giving my TEST" - Metallica "After this show i'll be fat and happy again.....If i make it to the show...." - Lee Priest "Lets put some weight on the bar.." - Shawn Ray "IT DOESN'T MATTER" - The Rock | ||

A PT instructer didn't seem to disapprove of these strectches when i told cadets to do them so these are the stretches i do, i hope they help, and i hope to hell you understand what i'm describing! 1. move your left foot across your right so both feet face foward, with both little toes together. keeping legs straight (allow a little bend), bend over and try to touch your toes. do for other leg 2. get into a lunge position (i.e. one leg in front of other in an exaggerated running motion. put both hands round anle of foward leg (both legs should be bent)--> now try to straighten leg, keeping hands round ankle (note if you completely straighten your leg i'd hobble to the nearest doctor 3. feet together, bring one leg up, grab ankle, pull ankle behind back and bull towards butt, while balancing on one leg. do for other
5. put your right hand on your left shoulder blade. grab your right elbow with left hand. try to gently pull your right elbow towards your left shoulder (don't over exert)|. do for other arm. 6. rotate shoulders while arms at side. i also do jumping jacks. don't 'bob' on stretches, they should be held. and don't over exert them. i hope these work for you these are the ones i do.
