Whats a good stretching routine for cyclists?
What do you do?
What should be avoided?

theres so much info everywhere, thats it difficult to tell whats best and whats actually wrong. we all know this is important but a lot of people dont take proper care of it. you may be fine now but maybe with some years shit comes in.

trying to find the perfect routine. (road cycling btw).

Dynamic stretches are more effective and better at warm up and injury prevention than static stretching

I don't stretch. I ride for a couple of miles at high cadence for warm-up/stretching. Cycling is such a low impact activity that you run little to no risk of injury.

any dynamic stretching routing for cyclists?

and to >>1165358 and >>1165371
and what happens after you do excercise? once a kinesiologist told me stretching should be done during and after rides, not before. that it was useless before.

i lways warm up btw. i tend to see stretching more as a way to decontracture muscles after them eeing used. does that make any sense? im lost! thats why i started this thread, thanks!

When I swam in college one guy would use his ankles to spread your legs for that stretch because it was hard to get enough of a stretch pulling on your upper leg with your hand.

>Whats a good stretching routine for cyclists?
Depend on your inhibitions, inflexibilities and imbalances, there's no one program that'll suit everyone

What do you do?
I typically roll my hip flexors and thoracic spine with a hard foam roller, sometimes cervical spine if it's feeling stiff from side-sleeping.
Other things pop up occasionally that need rolling or stretching and I work them as needed

What should be avoided?
Following cookie cutter programs for stretching etc.
many cyclists typically will have an inhibited hip extension and cervical/thoracic posture issues, but things vary wildly by the individual and the reasons for inefficient movement patterns can be many and differing.

All that said, what are the problems you're having on the bike? what do you want your body to be doing better?

Remember warm up first
Cobra is essential
Anybody got anything good for the neck shoulders etc to help looking behind and still riding straight ? worries me how few riders I see looking behind them, is that not where death is most likely to come from

This seems pretty comprehensive
>>1168157
This seems about legit

Unless its really cold without warming up i can avoid the legs. Its low impact. Whats important is the back and neck, i can tell you how many times i have fucked my neck and back from quickly looking what traffic is behind me. Also put too much power down pulling up on some new look cleats and hurt my upper left back. I barely got 10km on the flat and had to pull over because back pain fully wrecked me. Still feel shit from it.

I would say prioritize neck shoulder and back stretched over legs any day of the week. Fuck i need a massage.

Stretching CAN be used to warm up the muscles
The keyword here is that it CAN BE.
Its certainly better afterwards, but often stretching is the fastest way to reach some muscles groups.
