As an official member of the 30 and up unc crew on here, I’ve decided to make an effort to work on my flexibility. Was wondering if anyone had any tips or recommendations or even testimonials on the benefits

yep im always doing yoga type stretches, splits and core workouts while watching movies

Yep. I do yoga and mobility exercises on some rest days. But i been slackin. Mainly cause im focusing on body weight exercises rn, and those movements have a bit of mobility work goin on at the same time

Def recommend it. Your body will thank you in the long run and even short term. I have no dull pains in my body ever and my functional movement is way more effortless, like when im moving something or practical s*** like that.

Why as a man are you trying to train your flexibility

Yessir, Amazon position

I’ve always been a weightlifter so it would be nice to balance that out

Perfect for weightlifting.

Just make sure u do it as a cool down instead of a warm up. Or on your rest days

these pencilneck victim weight soyboy twinks that never lifted a pound in their life wouldn't get it

we be squatting fat weight

Went to hot yoga with my girl once and it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life my body is broken from years of skateboarding and blue collar work for 50+ hours a week

it u can't at least touch ya toes, sit crossleg, and squat down atg with your heels on the ground with ease then u need to do sum bout that
if a beginner yoga class got u in pain then that's a sign to keep going to that class btw

being able to move thru ur body's natural and full range of motion means you can train that same muscle under tension, leading to greater gains

I would like to be able to stand up from a seated position (on the floor) without using my hands

Like our ancestors fr

train it. flexibility is just like strength it's sum to be trained

mainly my inner thighs/hamstrings as i want to kick higher

My hamstrings are beyond tight that’s my main focus rn

as a 20something 30-39 aint old and 40-49 ain't really either even if it's getting up there. ageism is too much yo. that being said we should all be training our flexibility to prevent injury and keep the body spry
