Missing a stretch session

In Olympic lifting, I know that, if I miss a workout, I might lose a workout of progress, and thus take 3x as long to get to where I would have been had I just done the workout.

What happens if I miss a stretch session for a week? How bad is it?

Missing a stretch causes the world to descend into a dark abyss without any hope of redemption. Do not miss stretch lest you crave Armageddon! 

But seriously, if you miss one, you can make up for it on another day, or if there is no chance of doing that then just pick up where you left off. Just don't do what I see so many people do and let it all snowball and you keep missing. Same with diets, people will have one slip up and then think "f*** it, may as well do what I want now". Not that I believe in diets xD

Edit: I will add though; what's the reason for missing one? If it's because you're not recovered then perhaps dropping to 2 stretches/ week may help?

It's probably fine. You might even see that you've progressed somewhat with a bit of extra rest.

Don't forget that are doing alot of great active mobilty with Foundation and Handstand.

I now gave up the strictly weekly stretching sessions - I see more improvement and benefits with more rest. I repeat the sessions roughly 10 days apart. It is also important because I am sore for about 3 days after a stretching session (maybe I'm doing too much?), and the front split / middle split stretches are somewhat conflicting.

However I also practice or "limber" daily, in the most critical positions (for me), for example, I do a minute of gentle hanging pike and some two squat two pikes every morning - not to increase the range of motion but to discover what range I have available that day and to make sure my body remembers

Gabor - Coach recommended this schedule elsewhere in the forums as well. He said that folks saw progress by choosing 2 courses each week and rotating through them, meaning you would hit each course twice in three weeks (or about once every 10 days on average).

Hi Douglas,

Can you post a link to where Coach says this?

Daniel,

Two options come to mind:

1) With only two days a week to stretch simply alternate your stretches (1,2,3) on your F7 days 

2) Add the third stretch after Saturdays Tumbling.

Yours in Fitness,

Coach Sommer

 

Couldn't find the post that Douglas was referring to where Coach goes into detail about the routine but you can see here he gives it as an option if you are time restricted.
