Question by Mike: is stretching good or bad for your abs if your working on a six pack?
my friend who works out a lot told me that if your trying to get six pack abs, you shouldn’t stretch your abs after working out and you shouldn’t work on your core muscles only the Bank Routing Number Rome Savings Bank exterior ones. This didn’t really sound correct to me do you guys know?

Stretching is easily one of the most important parts of physical fitness. There is literally no reason not to stretch. As for which muscles to work on, go by this general rule: Whatever muscles you work on, will be the muscles that improve. Not working on abs if you want abs just doesn’t make sense to me lol.

i dont see why it would be bad. all it does is rush nutrient rich blood to the area. and helps you from being sore. plus if you dont stretch youll lose flexibility in the area once u do gain muscle.

Stretching is only bad in one scenario. Static stretching (ie: stretching a muscle and holding it there for 20secs+) can make you up to 15% weaker, which is a big deal if you are say bench pressing. All you need to do before you work your abs is warm up. Stretching AFTER you workout is vital.
Stretching after working out your abs has the same effect as any other muscle. It clears away the lactic acid so you feel less sore the next day and therefore you can work out harder, more often.
And you need to work out ALL your core muscles to keep them balanced. Abs, Hip Flexors, Obliques and Lower Back** muscles all need to be worked to keep your posture in check and avoid injury.
And remember a 6-pack is 80% diet 20% exercise
