I am working on being able to do things like pic related or the splits. I usually stretch at least after every workout, but I was wondering if I possibly could speed up the process a little.
How often and strong can I stretch without weakening the muscles too much or even injuring them. Any aditional tips are also appreciated.
Also mobility general
I heard stretching after the workout won't increase your mobility cause the muscles are tight and you will just get them back to original size.
Also foam rolling worked better for me for some reason

do dynamic drills
long static stretching sucks
Mobility is a meme

i've been doing starting stretching in the sticky
opening up my hips by stretching my squat has been awesome
i also recommend looking at some of the /owg/ OP material, greg pendlay has some good videos
also i like to watch the warm-up routines of say, klokov or oleksey torokhtiy for some inspiration

>speed up the process
This is NEVER a good idea when it comes to your body.

long static stretching and dynamic/active stretches are both good

Think he was saying something more along the lines of static stretching is boring. Which I kind of agree with.

No it's not. Rippetoe is not right about everything in the world, and stretching/mobility is one of the things he ignores completely.
