Sup fit. Been lifting for a year, but I've been slacking on mobility/stretching and it's catching up to me. My hamstrings are very tight, my hips and back are less mobile than I'd like them to be.
I've been looking into a bunch of stretching exercises, and I'm happy to do them every day. My question is, will doing stretches more often than that help? Is there a possibility of overdoing it? I work from home, so I could do them 3-4 times per day, easy. I want to get them mobility gains as fast as possible, and once I'm happy I would switch back to once per day to maintain.
How often does /fit/ stretch? Are you happy with your mobility?
I know /fit/ will come through, so I'm rewarding you with "who do you lift for" tier girls from my Facebook friend list.
I used to be pretty religious about my stretching. And I was more flexible back then, but I was also in pain constantly! Not pain, but like, I always felt tight, like I needed to stretch more even during the day when I was just sitting around.
Then I stopped stretching. And I'm not as flexible, but I also never feel tight. And I'm not so unflexible that it actually effects or limits me at all.
In short, I discovered that stretching is a meme and you literally shouldn't do it unless you actually need the flexibility.
You should never stop stretching I would say, what's stopping you from pushing your legs as far apart as you can when you are sitting right now? Nothing. If you're aren't stretching all the time you're never aren't doing anyaren'tthing

I feel tight already, that's why I want to stretch in the first place. Lots of daily tasks are made uncomfortable by how not flexible I am.

Technically, my armrests are, but I see your point.
you can overdo stretching, i've done it when i started training kickboxing and was trying to become flexible enough for highkicks. Just stretch like 2 times a day but do it properly and do it every day and you will become a lot more flexible with time.

Are there any vagina pictures of this girl? Or maybe something close to the anus?

What happened? Did you pull something, injure yourself?
>>37059495
Nope. I did hook up with her once actually, but it never went beyond a drunken kiss. She really is a beauty though.

I've been on /fit. too long to care about what's in between the legs.

No, the muscles just got too stretched out too quickly i guess and my hips and hamstrings were sore and hurting. There's a name for it but i am too lazy to look it up. But it's pretty easy to understand that your muscles can only be stretched so much in a short period of time before you are doing damage do the muscle fibers or whatever.

Gotcha. I think I'll stretch every morning and then after each workout or run.
