    Just got done reading one of Dan Rafael's blogs and FLoyd says he has never stretched his muscles, etc. whilst training. Seems kinda odd.

    He doesn't feel like it, and he's never cramped up.

    As long as there continues to be no blueprint, there will be no stretching.

    Does he do yoga?

    I just find it interesting that he doesn't do any PNF or static stretching at all.

    :nod At least 1 hour a day, either at home or at a studio.

    He said so during the last live workout.

    Never, ever does warm-up stretching before any type of gym or road work, though. Hasn't in 19 years of boxing.

    Stretching doesn't do anything. Stretching too much could lead to injury.

    Stretching is overrated and can be dangerous. You don't want loose muscle and tendons around your joints. Plus it can hinder strength.
