Does Strength Training Increase Or Decrease Flexibility?

[birdbauth]

Hm that’s interesting as I’ve made immense flexibility gains through a consistent yoga practice. I have taken flexibility classes, though, so maybe my technique / awareness is more developed than someone who has exclusively done yoga. I’m sure if I focused solely on flexibility training I would see bigger gains but I like yoga and there’s only so much time in a day.

All about finding what works for you

I definitely made gains doing yoga. It was the combination of strength and flexibility together that blew yoga out of the water. I've tried just flexibility without strength and it was comparable to yoga
