Reply With QuoteTwo hours is plenty. I'd still do dynamic stretching beforehand. If you still feel warmed up, you don't need as much general warm-up. You don't need to do as much static stretching post-work-out either.

Power Yoga before weight lifting..
Actually, my question is more general with a specific time frame.
If static stretching is detrimental to strength when done before lifting, how long does that last?
For example, 3 days a week now, my instructor has us do some crazy yoga shit that I have never done before, so its Burn City
But I end up going to the gym 2 hours later.
Thats plenty of time to avoid a problem in lifting yes?
At the same time, heres question 2...
If I static stretch (yoga) 2 hours before I lift, how much active stretching should be done (or at all) before lifting?
I feel pretty loose right now and kinda still warmed up. I wondered if I could just get right to the warm ups on days such as these..Last edited by AKIRA; 01-14-2008 at 12:42 PM. Reason: M&Ms melt in your mouth, not in your hand

What is power yoga exactly? I've done Yoga before.
Does it involve more movement and less time holding poses? Like moving from pose to pose with out resting.

Maybe she's just calling it "power yoga" because it's just a quickie little session?

yoga is a form of stretching that lengthens the muscle without strengthening it. not good pre-workout

I've done Yoga once and I did it right after I had just finished a workout, a good one at that. I didn't experience any real soreness from the workout the following day, just a little stretching soreness that was gone before I went to bed later that night. If I can afford it when I'm older, I'll be doing Yoga a couple of times per week.

I'm not quite sure how long the acute response to static stretching lasts, but I imagine that two hours later you would probably be hard pressed to notice much of an effect. I would still do some kind of dynamic warm-up before the base of the workout though. You certainly don't stay warm for that long.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
