Exactly! Also it can help improve posture and range of motion which can lead to more fully developed muscles

For me, I know my legs struggled to gain size until I started really stretching them. At first it was so hard and painful that after I was done i would have a pump and would be sore like I just lifted with them. But it was worth it.

Check this link out. I've been doing this for a while with good results. And the pump it gives is amazing plus I think it helps me recover faster. http://www.vpxsports.com/article-det...etter-physique

There is a such thing as being too flexible when it comes to lifting heavy/power lifting. Too much of anything can turn into something negative.
