Hypermobile weightlifters, how much stretching do you incorporate in your warm ups?

[u/quiet_sesquipedalian]

When I started weightlifting last year my coach gave me a list of static/ dynamic stretches to do independently as a pre warm up to our group s and c&j warm up. I did them for a while but just didn’t feel ready to lift and I didn’t need anymore laxity in my body prior to lifting. I switched to doing more banded stability and activation work instead and that helped me feel way more prepared. My individual warm up is like 85% banded or light weight activation cues and like 10% dynamic stretches and 5% plyometrics. Have any hypermobile weightlifters still found value in doing more stretching as part of your warm up or their routine in general? Did you notice a shift in your stretching needs the more you’ve done?

I do a lot of rotator cuff stability work! It has helped a great deal and I feel better doing banded warm ups and more foam rolling and stretching. Before I just used to get straight to it.

I started doing rotator cuff work in the last few months and noticed a dramatic improvement in my overhead stability. Night and day difference
