Studies have shown that effective stretching reduces muscle soreness.

And yet, the majority tends to do none at all or they race through it so fast at the end of a workout that the ‘stretching’ is a waste of time.

Considering the vast majority of people do not stretch as much as they need to, an overlooked area are the forearm muscles: flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris in particular.

This area is responsible for technique, grip strength and endurance when lifting, the wrist flexor stretch I show here could be (not always) a great stretch for you to integrate into your routine.

I personally do it 3 times a week on average due to all my chin ups and deadlift variations. And it works wonders!
