Blayzed4Life Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Anyone have any books on stretching that they would recommend to get? I dont know very many stretches and I dont think I am properly stretching before and after my workouts. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBHFutureAllAmerican Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 i start off with arm circles small and really fast then get bigger and slow down then do them backwards then arm accross the chest hold for 10-12 seconds both arms arm over your head and hand down your back and lightly pull on your elbow for 10-12 both arms then have your wrists pointing down and pull back on your fingers legs staright and try to touch your legs than your right foot over your left foot then left over right then i do groin stretches feet together and push down on your knees then have one leg straight out and hold it with your opposite hand then i do play girl which is put one leg straight out then your other leg over top of it it stretches your lower back and then i start my lift then i repeat the stretching after i'm done for 5-8 seconds for every one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnelianButterfly Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Stretching by Bob Anderson I started using this book as a warm up for all my exercise routines (it has sets designed for specific activities) and found I felt so great that it made my work out easier and my body was ready to go.

BBHFutureAllAmerican Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 there's a guy that works at my local news paper named bob anderson but i'm pretty sure that isn't the same guy, i did a little yoga before i started lifting it helped mentally more than anything if that counts as a stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
