I do several stretches pointed out as no-nos in that article. I have a little routine that I always do, much of which I borrowed from Janet Evans' book. But after reading that I'm thinking I might just quit stretching altogether.
:confused:
What's really screwy with the whole stretching issue...
Do any of you get Swimming World Magazine in addition to USMS Swimmer? We get both here and our Swimming World just arrived yesterday. Well, what should be on pages 26 and 27 but a pictorial story on "After-exercise stretches to increase range of motion." Stretches #4 and #5 are EXACTLY the stretches that are shown as no-no's on page 23 of USMS Swimmer.
Confusing?
I would think so.
