Flexibility ASAP Anonymous
Hey, typically guides for fitness and such are things like "do this 20 minutes a day and in 6 months you'll see great results". Well how about how to accomplish a goal AS FAST as possible? I typically get things done by working on them for like 16 hours a day for a few days. I know this wouldn't exactly work with muscles, because they need time to regrow, but what about flexibility? Specifically, lower body flexibility.

TLDR: Can anyone give a (quick if you want) guide to achieving significant lower body flexibility increases as FAST as possible?

Thanks in advance <33

Google up some PNF stretching


Here's some unrelated stretching literature:

If you rush isometrics you will fuck yourself up for a long fucking time. You can't do it for 16 hours for two days and be a fucking mutant. Isometrics work on muscle contraction, contract maximally for 16 hours. It will be the same as overtraining with any other exercise and your muscles will lock up but only after they have gone past the point where you should have stopped, so you probably have already torn a few if not stretched out a few ligaments. Get the FUCK over it, it's reality. PNF will be the fastest shit you've ever done and you will notice results immediately but they are isometrics meaning they will take effort and you will have to learn when to stop. With Pavel you will end up in splits in six months, want more than that? Get a knife and start cutting.

Fish oil is great for joints and you can take glucosamine (expensive) but its more of a preparatory thing (overhyped). But that is more for joint wear and tear, take fish oil regardless. Jogging/warming up specifically for what you're going to stretch will help bring blood/warmth into the area and may make it easier than doing it cold. That's all I got.

Don't just do a warm-up, you need to do that and a workout first. When you're finished with the warm-up and workout and you're cooling down, that's the most effecient time to start stretching.
