Much like acute modifications to the plan are inevitable, so too are generalized hindrances to progressive training. Ideally, we’d like to minimize the occurrence of large-scale programming disturbances throughintelligent training and planning, but this won’t be enough in every instance. As such, we should have a plan in place for

Like foam rolling, we can see increases in flexibility and mobility from stretching, as well as possible decreases in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) if used strategically as part of a cool down. But overuse of stretching — static and (especially) dynamic — can actually cause MORE fatigue; thus, impairing

Though I’m not the biggest fan of traditional static stretching when it comes to actually improving the qualities that we’re concerned with (namely, safely achieving deep ROMs), there is one kind of stretching that is a cut above the rest… Loaded Stretches If the name didn’t give it away, loaded
