just shoot me in the head instead and skip the agony of breaking my spine

>>38936173
Lol what you fucking fatass

>>38936152
Is stretching that important?

>>38936265
To be flexible yeah. You don't need to be flexible to lift weights

>>38936152
>arguably more important than starting strength

>>38936173
these are for improving your flexibility, not warmup stretches

you won't be able to deadlift or squat properly without flexiblity. it can also improve posture and reduce blood pressure because your arteries become more flexible.
a lot of people say it improves recovery time but I have not seem scientific evidence for that one yet.

Have you seen scientific evidence which say if you aren't flexible you can't squat or deadlift??

also I have read you shouldnt stretch every part of your body though, depending on your goals.

I don't want to stretch my spine because I don't want it to be loose, I want it to be as strong and stable as it can get. I feel like I don't want to stretch my ankles either because more mobility on them would make them more prone to injure, as I have read. I wouldn't want to stretch anything that takes my shoulder blades apart, since my chest is already too tight.

well, this one is personal experience. without flexibility I can't raise my hips and load my hamstrings properly without bending my spine.
without flexiblity I can't go ATG without tilting my hips forward.
