  1. Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    Tight gluteal and hamstring muscles can place a lot of stress on your lower back. So even though you feel the pain directly in your lower back region, its origin and cause is more often than not lies within your back side and hamstring muscles. I find a stretch is not enough, or at least not...

    Warm Ups

    What do people do. I've always thought they were overrated. Animals seem to do fine without them. We never evolved to have to warm up and or stretch for 30 min before the lion or bear was allowed to chase us. At footy I always either avoid or half ass the warm up. Coach calls me over and...

  4. Stretching does not prevent injury, it just makes you more flexible

    To be honest I stretch because being nimble feels good, I like being flexible and I thought it reduces chance of injury. But this study appears to suggest I am incorrect on the third reason - it does not prevent injury! In fact, all stretching does is make your body used to and good at...

    Honest Question

    Now im relatively inexperianced compared to the majority on there when it comes to the gym. What I see a lot in my gym is people that do 4 or 5 different exercises for the same body part. Like 4 different variations of cable curls. I see this as pointless but then again I have little experience...

    What is the best way to stretch hams so that I can squat with good back form?

    I'm getting back into weights and want to start squatting again, but I have limited flexibility. I cant do a full squat, whilst keeping my back locked in place, it always rounds as the bottom of the squat. I figure that it is my hamstrings that are limiting me, because if I get on my toes and...
