Stretching is very important phase of your training! Stretching is NOT warm up and they do NOT replace each other! You should do your stretching first, and after it you can do your warm up sets. Stretching makes your muscle more flexible and really helps to prevent injuries. It also makes the blood circulation in your muscles more effective.
Stretching does not increase you testosterone level – it is just not that kind of exercise! It will just prepare your body for the exercises that really can increase your testosterone level! And if you are stretched enough, you can perform those exercises more effectively and therefore your testosterone level will be higher… sounds great, right?
You should stretch before and after your workout! Stretching after workout is good because you increase the blood flow in muscles and therefore it helps to dissolve the lactic acid that has occured in your muscles during the workout ( lactic acid makes the catabolism much faster and helps to prevent the next-day-muscle pain a bit ).
It’s good for arteries
Stretching hardens your arteries! It is very important because arteries are the main blood vessels in our body. More stronger they are, than more blood can be circulated, so more blood gets to your muscle and more nutrients and oxygen they get – this increases the growth of muscles, strength and moves away the exhaustion!But remember that you must stretch properly and you MUST do it right! Doing it wrong can get cause injuries just in the process of preventing injuries… uff… no – just do it right with some stretching routine made by professional trainers. And remember that you must do everything slowly and concentrated – you will see the results in increased flexibility and enhancement in your workout routines just by a few minute stretch before workout!
