Back

[Jada]

I was doing legs today and before I ever start I stretch for like 5-10 min and do 2 exercise light on leg ext just to get the blood flowing and wake up the muscle when I get on my second working set I set my weight to 190lbs and i fked up. When I was lifting with my legs i leaned a little forward and felt the only tightness in my back. I was suppose to sit back and have my back flat . I fked up I never Fk up I always keep a strict form! So I finished my last set and went to hack squats and I couldn't even put a plate without feeling the tightness in my back ! So I decided to leave the gym, I'm not going to force myself and really Fk something up. I was in the gym for only
25min tops and boom I'm gone.

Never stretch before you lift!

Foam roll or mobility work or both maybe the hips you can stretch if really needed.

To build size and or strength you need to stretch out and tear the muscle with resistance so if you stretch before hand you just took away from you lifting and did what your lifting is supposed to do for you.

When, if ever, is the appropriate time to stretch?

In between sets, if pumps are impedind full range of motion. And after workout.

Also, do your leg extensions one leg at the time. Ull get more out of it and ur back is going to thank you.

I stretch in the morning or Afternoon, never before I lift. Sometimes after I lift, but thats it.

Hope all is well Jada!
