The whole stretch or not to stretch debate has been going on for years and apparently hasn't ended yet. Maybe we calm down a bit and recognize that all of us are at the age that we are going to do what we are going to do and not much stated on here will change that.
BTW, it's not good form to disparage a person by calling them a "Boomer". I know a few of Boomers who could pound most peoples' "Richard" in the dirt on a bike.
Just sayin'.....
Honestly, I think people who find stretching works for them should keep doing it despite what the science says unless they really are hurting themselves. I have just been fed up with people insisting that people who don't find any benefit from it are ignorant or whatever.
I think it's also hilarious that the guy thinks that stretching technology has somehow moved beyond our boomer ken.
