Multiple Workouts Per Day?

[mpaone12]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding doing multiple stretching routines per day.

Currently, I am doing two 15-minute stretching routines per day. Usually there is anywhere from 2-8 hours in between them. At times, I do three 10-minute routines, if I find that more convenient (such as during bathroom breaks). As a side note, I'm on a 3-on 1-off 2-on 1-off PE schedule, and I usually jelq for 30 mins somewhere in the day, in between the manual stretching.

My question is this: as far as stretching is concerned, is it better to have one long 30-min session, or is it okay to split it up into two or more smaller sessions?

My reason for splitting them up, other than convenience, is that after about 10-15 mins of stretching I no longer feel much of a stretching sensation, no matter the force I exert. So I figure, after that, I'm not getting much of a workout, and get discouraged.

What do you guys think? You length gainers... has anyone had good results from splitting up their workouts?

Thanks kindly guys,
Michael P.

I dont think its a good idea. but hey not everyone the same. I mean the first few days that I been doing these free exercises on the forums I can feel that there is a difference. anyway you are trying if you feel its growing thats cool.

Splitting up a routine is fine! Think of using the SG device, it is worn 9 hours a day with breaks every two hours. Now remember you will need to warm up before each stretching session to ensure you don't injure yourself. Think of it like this, a lig is like a rubberband get it warm and it stretches nice, now cool it down and stretch it hard POP:sm32 !!! Get the point?

Thanks for the responses guys,

The problem is that I'm not exactly sure how well it's working so far, as I've only been back to serious stretching (after a now-long-past bleeding injury) for about 4 weeks. I don't get overly sore really, but each time I begin stretching there's a bit of soreness for the first minute or so.

The main worry that I have is healing time. Does stretching a second time during the day impede upon the healing process from the first workout? Or is healing time not that big of an issue on non-rest days?

I'm curious if there are any gainers out there that have tried splitting up stretching workouts.
