Re: Flexability and Stretches
There are studies that show flexibility having a negative effect on strength. Most of them used athletes and very specific lifts (bench, squat, shoulder press) in their studies. Most people could use a flexibility program without a major loss in performance. I would do a good warm-up before the round. Use an active stretching routine with rotation, flexion and extension as a base. Then after the round you may want to do some static stretches after your nice a warm. Something is always better than nothing so try 5 minutes of warm up and 5 minutes of cool down.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
