Flexibility
G'day All,
Just wondering what everyone does to try and combat losing flexibility after doing weights. I mean, it's good to bulk up, but what is the point if you can't have the speed and flexibility to put it to use when it's most needed?
I do boxing to try and build up speed, what about you all?

That's mostly a myth, but I know BBs who can't play golf because of their lats!
I was messing with Vince Taylor once. I said "Hey Vince, can you touch your shoulder because I can't (bicep in the way)?" He came around sideways somehow, touched it and said, "Yeah, I can, but I just can't touch my traps!" It was the funniest thing... he tried like mad, he only got to about 4-6 inches away!

I stretch post workout and even between sets. Also exercises such as stiff-legged deadlifts can only improve your flexibility.

I dunno about that, I have a very hard time touching my head to my knees any more and it used to be fairly easy, now it "hurts" a bit.
Maybe DP/GP can comment on this, but so far as I know the act of muscular workouts will force someone to lose flexibility over time, other than getting into the size thing.
I have a harder time washing my back and the back of my neck now, but I can certainly still touch my traps
