Fragment wywiadiu z Joe De Franco
DeFranco: Generally speaking, I think that people should warm-up properly before weight training and stretch afterwards. Although I sometimes perform PNF stretching during workouts on my advanced athletes, stretching during your workouts usually isn't practical for the average trainee.
As far as
post-workout stretching is concerned, I think that timing is everything. None of my athletes stretch immediately after their workouts. I stretched immediately after my workouts for years and found it to be worthless. Immediately after a workout, your muscles are engorged with blood and your nervous system is fired up. It's almost impossible to get a good stretch.
I have my athletes suck down a post-workout shake the second the last rep of their last set is completed. Most of my athletes then go home and take a nap. That's the most important thing to aid in your post-workout recovery. I have my athletes perform a static stretching routine at least three hours after they've completed their workout. This gives the body time to "calm down," which will lead to a more productive and relaxed stretch.
