CHAOS

What are the "experts" opinions on stretching? How often and when?

Any good links to some stretches? I know a good amount but i dont think its something that people do enough personally.

I usually just do it before I work out but I hear it's good to do in the morning when you wake up. My dog does it ?

From what I gather it's never a bad thing. I don't think you can overstretch. And if you do I suppose you would have pulled something and would feel it right away. But isn't the stretching a preventative for pulling something ? So gotta be the right way to go.

I don't usually. I did hear that stretching after a down period is good though. But this was with running. I learned most this in high school though playing sports so who really knows if half of it is true.

You should stretch before a work out. You can stretch after as well. it is a great habit to get into. You will reduce the possiablity of injury. If you don't stretch your tendons/muscles are tight and take longer to warm up. You should stretch.

You want to stretch the muscles a little bit before working out, but it should be a gentle stretch since your muscles aren't warmed up. Ideally, you want a light stretch first, then do some light cardio exercises to warm up the muscles, then do a more full stretch. After that, do your workout, followed by a cool down stretch.

If you keep stretching your asshole like that eventually your shit will just fall out. Penis stretches are much safer just don't tug to hard, slow even tension and relax.
