Stretching........(Making me more tired)


Hey everyone, just like in the topic, whenever ive ever tried to stretch PreWorkout, i feel so relaxed and tired basically read to find a bed and crash out, i feel like just drained out.

But if i dont stretch PreWorkout, ill do my warmup set and then i'm off with full power. I stretch Post-Workout i find that doesnt have any effect on me, as when you are pumped it doesnt make me tired Post-Workout stretching.

but PRE WORKOUT everybody i think believes it is good to stretch before you train, but i just find it an impossible thing to do.

Need some advice! or is Pre-Workout stretching not a big deal?

I stretch, and then do just a few short running drills-It only takes a couple minutes. But that gets my heart rate up and my blood flowing a little bit more. And I do this right after I stretch, sometimes in between. Works for me at least.

What I do is I when I get to the gym I do a warm up set for the body part I am about to train with very light weight. Do around 15 - 20 reps. After that I'll do some stretches for that body part and then hit the heavy weights. When I am done with the body part I'll do some post workout stretches and maybe a light set or two to warm down. Works fine for me.

Cheers,
Tom

I've read...not sure where, that too much stretching can hinder workouts.... Blood flow good, stretch bad.
