Use Static Stretching Before Training If It Improves Form or Stability

Despite possible performance tradeoffs, use static stretching before weight training or sport if limited range of motion is preventing proper form or stability.

1 / 1

There are instances, for example, where an individual might want to do some static stretching to increase limb range of motion prior to doing weight training, even if it's going to inhibit that person's ability to lift as much weight... if somebody has a tightness or a limitation... that prevents them from using proper form that they can overcome by doing some static stretching, well, that would be a great idea.
