begginer

Hello everyone,

I'm 36yrs old 6'2 and 14st in weight.. I've started looking extensively into gymnasts style training for myself, but been told I'm to tall and heavy to lift my weight and some of the moves wont work in my favour,

Secondly was told that this style of stretching is dangerous and causes issues in later life due to over extending the body, can someone tell me if this is correct please

Thank You

Darren

Bad approach leads bad consequences. 

Poor both active and passive mobility provide a good way to reduce the sarcopenia and alpha-motorneurons degeneration. 

With this type of work for GST Jordan Jovtchev competed until 39 years old on olympic games.

Your height would matter if you were trying to be the best in the world. Other than that you can train with Gymnastic Strength Training™ at your height with no issues. I'm training at 6'0 and same body weight as you with no issues. Following proper progressions of exercises is necessary.

I'm not sure what type of stretching you are referring to but I think being more mobile would help you later in life, not hinder you.

As above. Plenty of 6'0" + around here.

This type of stretching has solved issues for me developed by hard training in other disciplines.

Yes, it's true that some moves won't work in your favour. This is the case for everyone who doesn't hit the proverbial genetic lottery. It certainly doesn't mean you can't improve them and develop significant strength in the doing
