I coach gymnastics. It’s essential to have flexibility for them to perform. But loaded stretches are greatly preferred. Deep squats, ring dips, and Jefferson curls, etc. And I tell the parents that flexibility is highly sport specific, and if your sport doesn’t require it, it is benign at best and possibly detrimental.
This sounds like Chad Johnson saying that eating McDonald's prevented injury. Stretching doesn’t make you weak. It's not the cause of injuries. But it's not going to prevent injuries either. Doing plyometric exercises is the best way to prevent injuries
Hiit comes from Tabata. Go look at Louies lifters as they age. Flexible is the last thing you would say about them. He had some REALLY great ideas and REALLY dumb ones too.
If your going for looks, hit is the way to go, if your going for strength, strengrh training is the way to go, before i did 3 sets. 5 excercises , with hit i do one set, 5 excercises and i got better results as far as body goes, and my workouts are better
Been lifting for decades, compound movements... introduction of yoga and flexibility training along with HIT cardio has been tremendous for recovery and rehabilitation.
@@dieterh.9342lol shut that bullshit up, is drinking blood and eatting flesh from heaven? I'm sure this person is referring to yoga as different poses that help relax and stretch the body,include breath work as well. What's wrong with that?
I started hit at age 60 , had to un learn all the bs I had been told over a lifetime , but hit made total sense after I started looking deep into it , I have 5 bulging disc's stenosis arthritis, I gave up free weights, except biceps and no more barbell bench, went to all hammer strength machines it changed my life my strength my energy my body everything - I'm 64 now my hammer strength bench max is 320 lbs 4 slow reps - if your over 50 and you do it correctly hit will work and save your joints ~
LOL. I'm almost 62, still compete in Olympic Lifting, Strongman, Scottish Games, age group track and field(sprints, throws and jumps) and stone lifting. Reason I can still compete? In 1982 at a powerlifting meet, Jerry Jones(1972 World Champion, National Champion, World and National Record Holder and notorious steroid trafficker and dealer)told me to NEVER take advice from steroid users since the only thing they know for sure is that the drugs work. That means clowns like Louie Simmons should have NEVER been taken seriously by any serious athlete.
@@TarponRenegade some of the greatest geared lifters*, which is like saying the highest vertical jumpers on a trampoline. He's a boat load of bro science, with some good things sprinkled in.
Well, I guess I'll have to read his article about what's wrong with HIT. Didn't see him say what's wrong with it here, other than that it was a business.
passive stretching helps a muscle that is "stuck" for lack of a better word in any form of contraction. stretching most certainly has its place in a routine, the placement is where it becomes important. Yoga is a little more than passive stretching, it also benefits stabilizers. which in turn would benefit movement throughout every day life. if they mean HIIT and not HIT i would say, people tend to flip the pyramid of muscle/movement upside down and this would imply that they start with HIIT, train mostly with HIIT, & don't ever consider flipping the pyramid and seeing HIIT is something at the top op the pyramid that requires foundational work at the bottom first. no one knows exactly why injuries occur in sport, but to suggest David Beckham should of been doing Maximal Strength while being full time on the pitch is off imo. There is SO MUCH that goes into being an athlete that it DOES NOT and SHOULD NOT correlate with the every day human's plan. HIIT is in fact a business model, a very dangerous one at that. Wise & healthy movement to you!
Stretching or not, the most important thing is to be warmed up. But if you’re an athlete, stretching still makes some sense. You’re going to be pushed into potentially extreme ranges of motion with extreme forces and torque on your bodily structure. Being a goaltender for example. Lifting weights and getting stronger helps with some basic bulletproofing but there will also be a law of diminishing returns with injury prevention because getting stronger doesn’t directly address the forces acting upon your body in sports, or in life. I’d agree that stretching isn’t always the answer like many think with tight muscles. I’ve trained clients who couldn’t even hinge an inch, to doing full ROM Romanian deadlifts with 350lbs. Getting stronger, generally speaking, will dramatically improve mobility and flexibility in itself.
What is this word “passive stretching”. If you are stretching it is not passive. The medical terminology for passive rom is someone else moving through range of motion. I would call what they are talking about unloaded stretching. Stretching can be great loaded but it needs to be built up…often times with just body weight (atg split squat is a great example). These movements are absolutely good for your muscles and joints and there is no evidence that stretching causes more injuries.
Passive stretching is when the muscle you intend to stretch is relaxed and allowed to elongate. Active stretching is when the muscle is engaged and contracting against a force placed on it. These may not be a medical terms but are commonly used in the strength community.
@@Daniel-qr4cspassive stretching as in holding a position, which he did mention, does make you weaker and immediately. When you hold a stretch you are lengthening a muscle, forcing it to relax. That means you can't contract it as well which means you are producing less force. This is the data we have. Static stretching reduces force production and increases risk of injury.
It depends, I was doing weighted barbell stretch to straighten my knee ligaments and it did the opposite, the knee started to lock out of position because the tendons and ligaments got stretched too much, stopped doing it and now it's fine, be careful on how you're stretching
Mr.Louie Simmons was the best of the f'n best LEGEND!!! I got the pleasure and honor of meeting and talking to him several times-and he was kind enough to let train at his gym several times back in the 90's! And shout out to another guy from Westside I trained with Big Donnie D!!!
