How do I get more flexible?

Try a few doses per week of Snatch practice.  I am often asked why we don't focus more on stretching and flexibility.  My answer is that it is already built into the program.  Now, I'm all for stretching out a sore muscle.  But, for our specific purposes too much stretching may negatively impact the stretch reflex needed for some of the lifts.  If you stretch prior to a workout, you risk losing that natural elasticity needed for a bounce out of the bottom of a squat.  Just practicing snatches or overhead squats, for example, is plenty of stretching to get the desired flexibility needed for healthy shoulders, back and hamstrings.  Try it!
