Paradigm Shift

If you’re anything like me, you don’t stretch enough. It’s not glamorous. It’s nothing like picking up a barbell, doing “Fran” or running a 5k. Stretching is something you do for a few minutes to warm up your joints, swinging your leg, and arms,  or rolling your neck.

But what about performance? If I told you that by stretching, and gaining an improved range of motion that was “already there”, low lying fruit that by taking five minutes before a workout, you would capture, and subsequently increase your back squat or deadlift by 30+ lbs, increase the load you could hold overhead in the bottom of a snatch, or improve your “Fran” time by 30 seconds. Would you do it?  For me, that answer is YES. No, it’s HELL YES. What about you?
