Stretching is good for you. It's even essential for many things. Just don't push it too hard and injure yourself.

If you only work your muscles and never stretch, you can get yourself out of balance, which is a big cause of injuries.

Why would you want to? I was a competition gymnast, so I had reason to. Getting splits is a lot of work, especially for a guy. Basic stretching is good for you. But going for splits doesn't serve any purpose if you aren't competing. It's also very prone to injuries if you are not careful.

Oh! Okay thank you for your advice

I do a stretch routine on a regular basis. I am almost at the point where I can touch my toes again.

Nice,

I do leg stretches. It's not something I talk about with or advertise to people I know. But I do them. I can get all the way to the floor with the splits but can't keep my legs quite as straight as a woman can. Mainly it started with stretching for yoga. Then I decided to work on getting to the splits.

Not weird at all. Quite the opposite - if you tried to do wall climbing without proper stretching then you would most probably fall of the wall because of blocked muscle.

Well, it's less common, but if you train your muscles, you'll need to stretch them, that includes your legs.

I stretch them out in the gym all the time, lol.

I don't really see how it's weird?

It's really good for you, and your images make it seem as if you think stretching is only for women, which just makes it kind of sad...

[nocturnalbreed]

I could only find women doing leg splitting in internet

[Little_Bumblebee]

You can just google "men stretching" and a bunch of pictures will be there though

[dustybiker]

In sports it is essential. You will hurt yourself if you do not stretch.

[jobego]

try it out and not weird at all
us guys need to be flexible too!

[taylorallen]

No. Humans are supposed to stretch, and yoga is also really good for your body. Regardless of the social construct of "gender"... Stretching doesn't take from your precious masculinity.

[Wise4myage]

No, its not weird and its actually really good for you.

[lightbulb27]
