Should Stretching Make You Sore?! Here's What You Need To Know

[@IronSharpensIron127]

I've been doing a training bike, calisthenics, then one of your stretch videos every morning. And I feel great!

[@johanhisingeckmann9873]

I use stretching as a social "event", at the end of a training session, where me and the friends i know from the gym can catch up and talk and have a good time. Or at least we used to, back in the days before the virus

[@mray3308]

I ' ve just finished my stretching routine and I cried because of intense uncomfortableness. I've high tolerance for pain but being uncomfortable is my weakness. I'm a comfort person.

[@iateerensmom2178]

Same i can tolerate pain due to my pain tolerance but once you add discomfort i’ll cry , because i hate feeling uncomfortable with a passion 😭

[@jaycub4711]

I thought pain was discomfort?

[@27jakrabbit]

My top tip was always go for a sauna after a resistance session and DOMS was always better than if I didn't. The heat really helps me

[@Aismail96]

Here I am sore as hell after stretching. I have a very stiff lower body from years of neglecting them so when I first started to stretch I became really sore in my lower back and couldn't get out of bed for hours. However, the weirdest thing was when I went out I was able to bend and stretch normally and the pain got way less. This leads me to believe im on the right path and the pain is temporary because I am returning to my flexibility pre neglecting my legs. Im really enjoying the journey to becoming more flexible and I enjoy stretching way more than lifting weight at the current moment. That feeling I get when I increase my Rom feels too good. Most of my lower back pain is from when I messed up doing back extensions and it's lingering pain from that.

[@SeaniMonsta]

Iove pairing your videos with trusted videos on pt, anatomy, and physiology, etc...I was really excited to see the neuromuscular diagram presented in this video. 👍!

[@googleuser-tr4pz]

Hi Tom, I really appreciate your content. Thank you. A little while back u made a video about ankle strengthening in which u mentioned that u had an inversion sprain on your ankle and that it took a few years to recover completely. I'm right here in the middle of this issue mate. If u feel that the knowledge you've shared in that video is sufficient, then it's okay, but if not it'd mean the world to me if u could go into fine details of the whole process, eg. all the different exercises you've done and exercise progressions, also other techniques u may have used like massaging, stretching etc. It really doesn't have to be a fancy video, even if it's an hour long without any editing, id still be really grateful. please come through mate. Thanks again

Ballsy to include THAT middle split in the intro to an instructional vizeo

[@BodyweightWarrior]

😂 gotta get some use out of it

[@hiely2]

He payed the price for that clip, well deserved use of it :D I lold when i saw it the first time tho :D

[@thanu2368]

LOL thought the same

[@houdasalhi3076]

This is really useful thank you Tom, I've been actually asking myself these questions ever since I started flexibility training 🙏🙏

[@Dan_Crampton]

Yeah, some hard lessons learned by watching "other" cali channels. I now incorporate yoga based stretching routine 4 to 5 times a week. Anywhere between 10 to 30 mins, depending on how I'm feeling, both mentally and physically. Great vid Tom, it's something that's not covered by too many others out there.

[@bjorncopperside4572]

Very informational video, thanks, ill streghten my adductors and in about 2/3 months of consistant stretching i should be able to achieve the van damme splitts🔥🦅

[@xxfennyxxrockz4133]

You're creating great content. Glad yt recommended you to me. Thank you!

[@NedBaker]

Changing the flexibility game! More people are learning about true flexibility training because of Tom

[@theflexibilityguy]

Really good information in here, good job man. Really enjoyed the video!

[@MistressShoue]

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out if my soreness is okay for the longest time, but there just aren't enough good flexibility resources out there compared to other types of exercise.

[@RahimNasirkhan]

Been following your 20min follow along for a month now and my body is so much more flexible than it was before. Cheers buddy. Keep up the great work. 🧘

[@codieuitvlugt7078]

Hey Tom could you make a follow along core routine to improve movement and help with calisthenics skills that you can do at home

[@codieuitvlugt7078]

For intermediate to advances athletes

[@Tobi-yl2zo]

honestly from my experience stretching greatly reduces soreness if done after training, not excessive stretching ofc, but thats just my personal feeling, maybe it`s different for others

[@marcelchalobah7946]

This year I'm working on my mobility and flexibility to improve my handstand

[@blakecampbell5606]

Same man, really wanted to be able to do a handstand and stretching seems to improve it quicker

[@xlayerscience9966]

I’m working on stretching to achieve the splits

[@7oclockmiracles88]

Excellent info. Thank you so much!!!

[@fitat4224]

Nice vid Tommy. Very informative as usual👍

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Hey Tom, thanks for another great video. Just wondering if you've come across any correlation between soreness from stretching and reduced sleep efficiency/quality? I'm trying to identify if it could be a contributing factor to poor sleep, especially if overtraining as you allude to in this video. Would love to hear your thoughts. Cheers

[@mihajlokostic1442]

I always had the misconception, how streching right after my workout will reduce soreness to come.I noticed however that when i am really sore, streching reduces that soreness temporaroly, only whilst i am streching, and than it is back to the sore old muscle, so thank you for breaking that false truth.Greetings from Serbia :)

[@리뉴얼바디-n5y]

WoW You are so creative. Thank you!

[@David-ic9qq]

This is really helpful, thanks!!

[@esr2398]

Can you do hard stretching like pnf in the morning? I train in the morning and I was hoping I could do flexibility in the morning to

[@jaimeibarra2884]

Is it normal to feel tired or fatigue during or after stretching session?

[@nicoles_handle]

so useful, thank you!

[@andydufrin2426]

I haves doms and stiffness after stretching each time even i do slightly with 3 sets only ...been years ago training but still far from split and dont feel flexible

[@Tinyraskal7126]

Why do I have pain after doing yoga or stretching the next day ? If I do upper body stretches - my muscles in the back are in pain

[@finn3131]

Awesome video 💪🔥

[@atypical_blk_guy]

What's the name of the sand bag you use?

[@Swagmaster1028]

Nice

[@Coach-Kareem]

So informative Thank you

[@sawkchalk6966]

Nice and informative

[@Miguelito123489]

Can stretching potentially be bad after a workout as it can increase the microtears that occur?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

No, you’re all good. May want to consider fatigue a factor like any other training modality

[@SofiaC-ph7xi]

A great video in a great time been a little sore I love stretch

[@Lisa-rg8uq]

Bro I do low intensity stretching and am sore for 2 days I am 12 AM I DIEING?

[@MsLawRaw]

Are you doing another book club? I missed out last time!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Yes we’re reading the Talent Code. Next live stream is 2 weeks tomorrow! (April 8th)

[@yemariamleul3619]

The problem is that in martial arts, Masters have the attitude of, 'if it ain't painful, it ain't working'.

[@talcottlevy1216]

Hi Tom, how about rolling, before and or after a session, does this help muscle recovery?

[@fifive]

wow so good content

[@MariusPiselli]

But I thought that u shouldn't strecht the same muscles u trained the same day cause it could make the damage bigger, is that true?

[@DarkpumA787]

What do you think of doing Mobility work before your workout as a general warm up?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

For sure, especially if it helps you get into a better position

[@creativesuit1930]

I wouldn't include long static stretching. Stick to dynamic stretches for a warm up before free weights or calisthenics.

[@chasewhitney3145]

So that’s the in shape I used to go to... do you live in Santa Cruz

[@MrDubjay123]

My hamstrings always get soar from stretching

[@naturescall2002]

How should someone start that is too unflexible to even start?🥲 I kinda don't know where to start

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Watch the video in the description and just start. It’s the only way
