Stop Being Lazy and Stretch!
Friday, February 29th, 2008According to the American Council on Exercise, stretching is an important aspect of your weight lifting routine aimed at building muscle and gaining weight. Instead of heading straight to the showers after your intense workout routine, take a few minutes to work on your flexibility. Stretching moves are very important in increasing your range of motion, releasing muscle tension and soreness, reducing your risk of injury and increasing physical and mental relaxation. Stretch slowly with no bouncing whatsoever. Remember to breath throughout the movements.
The more agile your muscles are the easier it will be to create a good pump and burn needed to build muscle mass naturally and gain weight fast.
