While we are often treated to clips of bodybuilders pushing and pulling gargantuan weights, the concept of the flexible bodybuilder is less prevalent online, but there are a number of reasons to follow AJ\u2019s lead and limber up.<\/p>\n<h2>Andrew Jacked Demonstrates His Incredible Flexibility<\/h2>\n<p>AJ\u2019s super-stretching ability stems in large part from his training as a kickboxer, but it is also valuable in the gym. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31984621\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies show<\/a> that stretching increases our joint range and both prevents and alleviating injuries. But experts have been divided on whether hyper-extending our limbs helps us to build muscle.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is evidence to suggest that the biggest gains via stretching can be made by using apparatus such as a resistance band or with some type of external force adding to a deeper stretch. The most hypotrophy is also often observed when stretching is practiced between sets, no doubt adding to the breaking down of the muscle so that it can build back stronger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn conclusion, passive, low-intensity stretch does not appear to confer beneficial changes in muscle size and architecture; alternatively, albeit limited evidence suggests that when stretching is done with a certain degree of tensile strain (particularly when loaded, or added between active muscle contractions) may elicit muscle hypertrophy,\u201d explained a 2020 review.<\/p>\n<p>Whether stretching is effective for muscle building, or not, it\u2019s a practice that all bodybuilders should consider adding to their arsenal. \u201cMy daily stretch routine involves so many kinds of movement including the Static and Dynamic stretches,\u201d explained AJ in a previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/carlos-gamero-explains-how-to-hammer-and-chisel-your-way-to-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube video with Dr Carlos Gamero<\/a>. \u201cControlling the movements to prepare my muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues for performance and safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, how often you YOU stretch?
