You're wrong and coaches don't know poo poo. Even if you're one of the small amount of people who should be doing static stretching, you sure as gently caress don't need to be doing it for an hour and for every joint in your body.

I'm not doing it that excessively dumb poo poo I'm saying doing even a small bit is good for you and lifters could stand to do it or at the very least foam roll instead of being stiff as gently caress and complaining.

Also years of gymnastics and tons of stretching for mobility and flexibility and I seemingly get way less injuries than my peers despite doing the same poo poo as them.

Also said nothing about purely doing static stretches.

You literally asked "is some flexibility in your posterior chain a bad thing"

The literal answer to your question is, no, being able to bend your body is not a bad thing. Not being a literal immovable statue is not a bad thing. I don't think there's a single person in this world that needs to stretch to achieve "a modicum of flexibility in [their] posterior chain". Your question was meaningless

A lot of lifters who literally do not stretch can stand to do it. I know dudes who are as strong as me or stronger but get sprains and pains constantly because they don't stretch like monstrous morons. They think five minutes on the treadmill is enough and then they can work up to 485lb sets on squat with no issue.

Thank gently caress my wrestling coach stressed the importance of stretching and would make us do the most hideous painful extended stretches.

You are stronger if you don't stretch. You trade mobility for strength.

Maybe true but I'm still lifting a decent amount of weight and even as gymnastics emphasized flexibility and mobility literally every dude I knew from my group had insane upper body strength, it's not nearly that binary, you need both for the sport.

It's worthwhile to be pedantic about Internet health and fitness bullshit because people very commonly do the specific thing you are doing -- use evocative language with no meaning or thought behind it to justify practices. What you're saying is on the same level as people who talk about "toxins", and questioning what you're saying is just as worthwhile as asking those people what exactly a "toxin" is.

If you are insanely inflexible from living a sedentary lifestyle it is defacto bad for your body and your posture, even weightlifting can't correct that on its own.

I don't know why you have such an insane hate boner for simple loving stretching. I wouldn't have been able to do half the poo poo I did on rings or pommel horse if I was as inflexible as I started.

How the gently caress are you going to teach some nimrod how to do deadlifts properly if they can't even bend slightly down without their hamstrings protesting?

This isn't some phooey poo poo genius.

so are you saying that people should not stretch their backs when they feel tight and stiff? because that is all i am saying buddy

edit: also adult human bodies are remarkably resilient at cleaning themselves out and sometimes fasting for a few days doesn't hurt anything and might actually help. so idk what you are getting mad about here.

Yeah man IF you don't want to be some hosed up slug and IF you want to be able to recover properly after an injury and IF you want to do some occasional, low effort maintenance to maintain healthy flexibility and mobility you should do ten minutes of stretching occasionally.

If you do enough yoga you can eventually leap twenty feet and hurtle downwards to deflty slide through the hoop with your toes touching your nose and then your tailbone will plummet towards the earth like a pointed blade penetrating the floor of the court driving so deep you rupture the septic line spewing poo poo all over the stadium as you scream in agony "AHHH MY TOOTER BONE HURTS."

No. Meditation has been practiced and integrated into Indian religions for thousands of years. Ancient Indians noticed that body position a person meditated in changed how they experienced the meditation and this led to yoga's development as a physically-oriented form of meditation where you repeatedly change body position while in a meditative state. Its a practice which has been attested to in India for longer than there has been a British state. What you posted sounds like something you got from a UKIP version of Uncle John's Bathroom reader.

When I'm crunching static plates at the gym, I find it's beneficial to extrapolate my anterior abacus discs before doing so. Pls advise.

If the heavy weight you are picking up isn't a large rock or a tree trunk, you are actually appropriating American culture. Especially if it's in a shape of circular plates attached to a bar.

You wouldn't dress up like a cowboy in your daily life, so don't lift barbells.

stretching is good and you should do it, a goon misunderstanding an internet article he once read about stretching before lifting notwithstanding
