Great no nonsense overview of stretching methods Ryan 👍🏻. I personally found the contract - relax -agonist contract (CRAC) method from the PNF system the most effective, but occasionally do some yin yoga static stretches for deep relaxation. The PNF system also has some really good cross body upper and lower body movement pattern practices that are great for warm ups

[@gmbfit]

Yep, CRAC sequences can work really well, and we use them in some of our routines :)

This video is such a helpful introduction. It's confusing to be told by uber fit evangelist types that an exercise which feels helpful is actually bad and wrong. I appreciate your focus on appropriate use instead. Thank you!

Yeah, it's all context. Which can be hard to continually provide in shorter and shorter clips for social media... Unfortunately, most people skip over nuance, so coaches are incentivized to deliver things in attention-grabbing soundbites.
