    I have been hearing stretching doesn't work for the last year or so which kind of blows me away. Maybe it's not beneficial for people who already have good mobility but it has absolutely helped me with low back, glutes, hamstrings, and quads being tight from sitting at a desk all day.

    When I was taking weight training in high school I had a new teacher my senior year that had us lift 3 days a week and Tuesdays and Thursdays we went to the track and had to do 6 laps running or walking. I realized that it really did help with soreness and I often wasn’t sore, so this makes complete sense hearing Mitch explain it and how it increases the blood flow to the sore areas. Great stuff !

    2 the endings seem to be sudden, i might suggest an outro, i just want the UA-cam algorithm to play nice for your reach. You’ve the most down to earth realistic non-salesman view of health and recovery, I’d hate UA-cam to stifle your reach

    For me stretching is one of those things that my experience differs from scientific evidence. Stretching for 30 minutes 4x a week for 3 months gave me the mobility needed to squat below parallel for the first time. More recently, after not stretching for years, I had tight hips and ankles that were impacting lifting. Started stretching again for a few months and my PT said I had surprisingly good flexibility for someone of my size and build. Yet I hear that stretching is so-so from all these fitness channels I follow religiously. It's kinda strange.

    • @espenstoro
      @espenstoro Рік тому

      Same, had microdiscectomy a couple of weeks ago, barely able to move for a few months. I'm stiff as a board, but I can already see a huge improvement in mobility after some very slow and careful work, including stretching. Obviously no overloading of the spine yet, but I've used bodyweight squats and stretches for the glutes, hips and hamstrings, it's making a difference.

      I think Brian Shaw and Martins show mobility and flexibility even with massive amounts of muscle and some fat is still very possible and helps a lot with strength sports.

    • @nitinl3482
      @nitinl3482 Рік тому +1

      Thanks for sharing, although the evidence may not show stretching to be a failproof method of reducing soreness and enhancing recovery, I think that personal preference + experience would trump that in this case. Since the discrepancy is not about something that causes harm, but rather a more effective method, I think that if you feel it working, it does!

    It’s not the muscle soreness per se that’s bothers me following a workout, it’s the associated stiffness and the decreased range of motion in the joints and overall decreased flexibility. Basically you feel as stiff as a board.

  • @Me-wk7dz
    @Me-wk7dz Рік тому +4

    I think I disagree with the stretching part. For example, if I go months without stretching I can't touch my toes with straight knees. But after just a week of stretching 10 seconds a day I can touch my toes again. Anyone who has learned the splits doesn't need to stretch all day to achieve that either. Stretching should lengthen your tendons over time

    So if foam rolling/stretching gives you a benefit for roughly half an hour, it makes sense to roll and stretch as part of your warm up right? Half an hour in you should be pretty warm and moving well

      Make sure your diet and sleep are on point! Most people short themselves on sleep. As I've aged, I've noticed when I hit it hard in the gym, if I don't account for the extra rest I need at almost 40 compared to my late 20s, I feel it for a lot longer meaning I can't push as hard next time.

    Hmm, you barely cover the causes of the soreness. This is something I am struggling with to understand to optimize my workouts.
    My training partner is stronger than I am, and we are training (powerbuilding) for years. After many workouts he is complaining about severe soreness while I have no issues at all.
    For me there are muscles that get almost never sore (shoulders, glutes, hamstrings, triceps) and other that get sore relatively easy (pecs, quads, abs, biceps) as soon as the workouts are getting tougher.
    There are no changes to this after training for a long time now...

    As far as hypertrophy goes: muscles are NOT broken down and built back up stronger. It's a common statement but the evidence does not back this up. There's probably 6-7 well done studies done over the past 10 years or so showing this. (PMIDs below)
    Muscle growth only occurs when mechanical tension is translated into a biological process, which then creates the addition of contractile profiles, either parallel or in a series.

      I think he kind of contradicts himself. One of his last videos in this series, he said, even in strongman they are mostly building and conditioning their CNS and not their muscles. It's super hard to build more contractile protein aka muscle unless you are legitimately doing a body building regimen. Most people and especially beginners make gains from strengthening their CNS.
