I am new to gymnastic bodies and to the concept of mobility work in general, so I serverly lack knowledge in this regard. I would appreciate any detailed responses if possible. On to my questions: 

1) For the Stretch series are they suppose to be done on days where I do zero conditioning or are they suppose to be after? In the videos it is mentioned to do them after a conditioning workout but the are schedule on their own, so I am confused on what I should be doing. 

2) Mobility work like the wieghted shoulder and knees series are they suppose to be done after the conditioning or before because I have been reading that stretching or lengthing tissues between joints prior to any conditioning can increase risk of injuries.

hey Mahmoud Eid,

well first question...both of them are possible...it depends on how much time do you have..

for the second question, weighted shoulders can be considered and stand alone exercises, you can do it before a leg/core day or after an upper body day...

Thanks for replying quickly. In your opinion what order would maximize progression in long term flexibility would it be after a workout or before?
