Hey,

Im a little curious as to what some of you feel when stretching. Ive made some gains recently and the area around the base feels as if they're stretched to a maximum. When i try to stretch a little further, i feel a stinging sensation. Is this normal? If so, should i just continue light stretches until maybe it heals. IM currently on Vitamins C & E along with EMU oil i recently purchased (a rub) and it seems to be helping a bit.

I guess im just asking if i should continue with my stretches or not.
thnx

Msmith, I'd take a day off or two if the sting is too much or it feels like you hurt yourself.

That's what I do when I overdue it. Take a day or so off then hit it again with gusto!

ditto, you are experiencing a normal problem. It's just a warning sign to slow down a bit so the healing can catch up and cement the gains without damage.

I thin you're right.
i think it's more mental than anything, i've had too many stops in my PE career to let one happen again. Especially one of this magnitude (ligs).

I'll stay careful, thnx.
