Mr.
To my knowledge static stretching only relaxes the muscle for about 20 minutes depending on the duration of the stretch. So there is no such thing as the elongation of a muscle through that kind of technique. But he is right to say that this does not work before working out. It actually is doing the opposite of what you want to do before exercising. You lose power. Dynamic stretching is much better for that. Nice to see that at least somebody on the internet is not talking total bs.

Yup I'm an ax2 user and still getting results. Some regulars watch me like a hawk, but when I suggest a tip from one of Jeff's videos I get the impression that they know it all. I just say ok, I'll keep doing my thing and you do yours and we will see who see results. I can't wait till the day comes to hear them admit that they didn't listen to what i was trying to help them.

Lol! I was thinking the exact same thing. How do you feel about Turkish Get Ups? Beneficial or to be avoided? Part of Athlean X or not really needed? I'm a banged up guy (due to poor training habits) recovering from a herniated disc and I really appreciate how educational you are for us injured guys as well. Very rare in the fitness world. Awesome stuff, Jeff!

Jeff, you're a delight. Even though your stuff is branded towards men I benefited hugely by watching your content, and I'm a woman looking to get more of an hourglass shape. I love how you explain the why behind everything. So much extremely educational free content.
Thank you.
You have no Idea how much this helps me financially and otherwise.

can you make videos specific for each sport? different sports demand muscle growth in different areas and stiffness in different areas. Maybe I as a hockey player have more advanced back muscles than for example a baseball player, but therefore have less advanced -some muscle baseball players use alot- which means i also have more tension in certain areas.

Jeff, I don't have much trouble losing body fat. However I can't seem to lose the fat around my chest area. A personal trainer at my gym did a caliber test and calculated that I am 9% body fat. My abs show nicely but I just can't get rid of this fat around my chest. Is there a reason why fat my concentrate on one part of your body?

I would very much appreciate a warm up series to partner with the -Sore in minutes- series. I have been stretching as taught in school athletics. Football, Baseball, Track with focus on injury prevention, but I-m just now realizing I lack a gym warm up focused upon the muscle group(s) targeted. Oops!

I often stop by your videos before workouts with the intention of a quick 5 min refresher. 3 hours, 15 videos, 2 bags of popcorn, 3 sodas and a hotdog later and i'm ready to burn off those calories.
You're going to have to make these videos less useful somehow.
Great work and many thanks.

Can u just do one video on how to stretch statically at night for every muscle group? As in maybe one or two exercises we can do at home before sleeping to get that stretch! Mainly because I want to do it but have no idea which ones are good and actually beneficial for me to do!
