If I was, you could shoot me for being so dumb. Stretching is one the the most beneficial exercises you can do for your body.

BUT, over stretching it (like for height) can be BAD for health.

People, I'm not saying you shouldn't stretch, but overstretching for height can hurt your back. Pulling the tendons and ligaments that much can't be good. And stretching a bone longer is impossible unless you break it first.

It's just like saying you shouldn't meditate, it's good for the mind, it's relaxing. Once again, if I said you shouldn't, you could shoot me.

I'm just trying to say I'm not anti-stretching.

I dont know wether ur name is Will or Hugh but eitherway - youve been blazing stretching on that other thread... and now you're saying that 'overstretching' is bad... dude - either say something is bad and stick to it or dont change ur mind

OK, let me try an make myself clear
1. Stretching is good for the body
2. Stretching your body to more height is bad
3. Stretching has other uses, all of which route back to flexiblity

2 Questions:
What's your name?
Do YOU believe Stretching will make you taller?

My name is
"Hugh Edward Williams". But I'm commoly known as Will on the Net, so I stick with that.
As to stretching, no. I do not. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't stretch.

Well 'Hugh Edward 'Will' Williams'
Ive been playing basketball for the past fortnight and have grown 1.5cm..? Please Explain... I'd really like to know what it is if it isnt stretching

Well, we can't tell if it's growth or stretching of the tendons/ligaments. Not saying you should stop BBall though, not trying to sound rude.

No, ofcourse not , not rude at all..
I'm talking about Basketball Stretching not normal stretching...

Well, there is one thing. When you jump, your stressing your bones, which stimulates bone formation. And it's a better promoter of GH realsese than stretching.

That's Good then.. You gonna' watch Backlash tonight?
