Is It Better to Strength Train a Tight Muscle or Focus on Mobility Exercises?
No single thing negatively impacts my workouts as much as poor sleep. Poor sleep destroys my progress completely crushes it. I can get away with a bad diet for a little while before I start to see really, really big negative impacts. If you feel tight in your hamstrings, light, stiff-legged deadlifts would actually loosen them up where you actually challenge the stretch a little bit with some weight. Real mobility exercises is strengthening. It's not static stretching. Static stretching can be a part of a mobility routine, but a mobility exercise itself, you're connecting to the muscle as you're moving through these ranges of motion and you're trying to build strength in new ranges of motion.
