Greg the type of guy who fires his yoga teacher cause she asked him to stretch

I have a feeling Mike is about to tear this one apart. There’s a lot of research on the stretch/eccentric component of a lift. I really don’t think Greg did a deep enough dive into the literature on this. Normally he’s really solid on aligning with the research.

Hmmmm idk maybe everyone’s body is different but focusing on my stretch and slow eccentric has built me

A deep stretch forces you to use less weight, reducing your risk of injury and fatigue on joints + connective tissues

Mike Izraetel, any comments on this one? 😅

[NicoGee]

Holy crap. Greg looks more and more like a regular adult

[DrRRaza]

Went to the stretch stuff the last few months and made 0 gains. Just recently came back to just high intensity, heavy sets, and already im gaining muscle back.

Depends on what exercise you’re doing. Like with Weighted Push-ups, include a deficit off of some plyo boxes, chairs or any other elevated surface. The extra range of motion tears more muscle fibers in the chest. Just an example. It has its place in a program no doubt but ofc progressive overload is always #1

[rickopotamus]

Your approach is great.so sick of people saying you must hit a muscle 2+ times a week (dr.mike cough cough) we dont wanna be in the gym many times a week we have lives and things we wanna do outside the gym

[HarryBulkman]

I made a noob at gym do exercises which emphasises deep stretch for 3 months and he grew twice as big as I was I did in my 1st 3 months

[arsinyx]

Greg looks like a school teacher here 🧐

[atemperateatar]

Stretching is most effective at 30 seconds per stretch. Consistency is key with it

[nikesbeast]

Bro is scared to for full ROM because he can’t go as heavy!

[anasbendahou]

Stretchning isn’t ideal we need to combine everything to optimise results

[Tevoi_]

You also think the magic happens when you fast and then eat a humongous meal

[taguro]

I dont know exactly whats bro is saying but if you dont stretch you will get injured and I was all time douchebag before, saying stretching was gay n shi.

[naveensachdeva]

Greg is a type of guy who dismisses strech while on bed

[EverAscendingSyndrome]

Looking great dude. Shorter hair and dressing. Looking masculine. Bruce Wayne style

[callmate]

Bro you know nothing im sorry to tell you your entire philosophy is just based off of broscience and anecdotes
