I stretch a little bit before and after basketball but never before weight training.
If I am stretching though, it's to work out a little soreness on an off day but, never to warm up the muscle.
The flip-side to that though is that I almost always do two or three low-weight warm-up sets on my first exercise. This ensures that I'm flushed with blood and not going to injure anything. |

I'm not doing it so much for my lower pec but, rather to really focus on SQUEEZING the crap out of my inner chest.
I'm not using much of a decline and, the way I do the movement, I'm pressing up and rotating the weight so that the pinkie finger side of my hands are coming together. The squeeze is just awesome. I can literally feel the striations being etched into my chest. :p |
hmmmm...that's a great point. inner chest can always use a little more right? hahaha ;):p maybe i'll work some in!!!

yeah i usually do something similar...usually a warm up set or something before i get into it...
however, i've been trying to do some of the pilates stuff when i get up in the morning because i would like to increase my felxibility, but i don't talk about that because i get made fun of enough as it is hahaha :stongue: :p |

btw, anyone wanting to workout their lower abs, reverse crunches are a great exercise.
I prefer doing them on an incline plane.
Just remember, abs only get a little larger and more defined than what you have by doing these exercises. You'll ultimately get your abs in the kitchen. Eating right to reveal them.

the very first attempt i did was with only 25 pounds:o safety first.
i then moved up to 50, then the last two sets i did 75 nice and slow.
the burn is amazing! tomorrow ill warm up with 50 and hopefully finish off with 80 - 90 pounds.
again thanks floorfiller for this amazing exercize. my ass cheeks have never looked so toned lol:D |
