Its great, do it. Squatting atg felt like no big deal suddenly. And I have alot less tightness and weird pains in my body

Hat sort if yoga are you doing? Are you going to classes or YouTube/forums?
Time and location constraints prevent me from going to classes more than a hand full of times a month.

>Tell me why yoga isnt the best complimentary activity for lifting
It's not cardio

>tfw just started Bikram yoga

Shit feels good, man.

I lift in the mornings M-F and do Vinyasa in the evenings T TH. Great way to meet girls, too

Tell us your fucking routine already please

What you do? Where do I into yoga?

Yoga fixed my squat form.

This. Op, deliver for trips you fucking cuck

Not OP, but I picked up a lot of yoga forms and poses from P90X "Yoga X" that I still use to this day.

Bikram is the shit. It gets expensive as fuck, but if you live near a place that has a deal like "all you can yoga for $30" or something, is definitely worth going a few times. I feel better after yoga than I do after any gym session.

Literally the only good thing my sister-in-law has ever done in her life is introduce me to bikram yoga.

I did Yoga X. I think maybe I did it once a week for 4-6 weeks before saying fuck this and replaced it with Cardio X. It's good and all, but honestly it is way more trying than I thought it would be--moreso since it's like a fucking hour and a half.

>mfw the first 10 minutes of Cardio X is still yoga

I stretch a fuckton so im already flexible as a motherfucker, but I want to get into yoga for the balance and flexibilty.
Is there like a pdf or youtube series I should look towards

Never done yoga but i do Pilates twice a week which is similar but leaning more towards calisthenics. I'd recommend it to any beginner as it helps you be more mindful of you're own body and builds a basic strength base.

If you're trainer's not an idiot you'll also quickly learn the value of form and how easy it is to naturally halfass a movement.

I'd modify that

Each subdivision of lifting has some great complimentary activities for it, depending on skill, build and age.

For me, lighter moderately high rep bodyweight stuff reinforces the pump stuff I just did after my main strength stuff. For others, cardio may help the gains best, or general strongman.

I'd put yoga as a tertiary activity; it's not going to directly turn a baby squat @ 225 into a 405 overnight, but the smart lifter will gain better control of their body, and that will multiply the effectiveness of other work

Morning yoga is great for working people like me, then a quick session in the evening as the first part of my warmups to get stable and de-fuck my body
