Hey guys.
I've been doing martial arts for a while, my flexibilty is pretty pitiful. I've only recently started stretching seriously, like nearly everyday for the past month or so. I really want to acheive the front and side slit as well as having my chin touch my knees.
I've been using the book Stretching scientifically by Thomas Kurz, had it a while.
My question is I go gym 3 times a week doing full body workouts and martial arts usually twice a week.
Thomas Kurz suggest I do dymamic stretching twice a day every day and as part of a warm up and do isometric, maybe some relaxed streching after a workout/training.
Problem is after a gym work out involving sqauts, front squats etc, my legs are quite exhuasted and I cant contract the isometric tensions that well, my legs start shaking and feel weak.
So I've been doing them on non gym days and relaxed stretching on gym days. The stretches feel good and I can tense hard this way but this mean litteraly exercising legs everyday since isometric stretching is a kinda strength workout which Tom says can halt progress due to overtranining.
So I currenty do leg dynamic stretching everyday, twice a day, isometric stretching every other day (non gym days) and relaxed stretching on all non iso days. I might miss a day here or there if I'm busy.
Sometimes if the gyms too busy I just come home and do my stretching there.
Has anybody have on advice on this? :cool:
