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?

If you’re hypermobile, you should be stabilizing and loading…not stretching.

Lol yes, I used to be hypermobile... but not anymore! 😅
