YA STRETCH. Start slow and work your way up. Do strecthes in between sets or at the end of a work out so you are nice and warm.
Do you know of any stretches?

Also hold each one for 30 seconds.

Did you know that it only takes 6 secs to stretch a muscle. You really don't need to hold a stretch for any longer than that.

 

[BIGABOY]

no I didn't know that one

Light stretching ,and light warmup is enough to get you ready for your lifts.

I agree w/ Redman. Yoga works, and it will also kick your ass and have you whimpering like a schoolgirl (if you do it right). It's really helped me w/ flexibility, and strength, believe it or not.

i tried power yoga and have to get back to it.

it is really worth doing it.

the combination between flexibility movements and power movements is awesome with a good teacher. I've tiny muscles I weren't aware off when working major muscle groups. tighten up my whole body and got me really flexible.

Yogalates (Yoga & pilates combined) is even better! IMO, I find that it's useless to go the day after a leg workout. Tight hamstrings make it very difficult to do any poses correctly.
