Instead, select an important stretch or two. Then, transpose your strength training or tricking focus into your streamlined selection. Allow yourself half an hour to work these holds. Avoid zoning out between your stretches and avoid lazy transitions between your stretches. Let's use the splits as an example: Visualize the range of motion you wish to achieve. Spend a moment priming your mind into hyper mode by using your pre-lift or pre-trick concentration ritual. Then enter the splits and maintain an aggressive focus during your hold. Then get up and walk. Rest, detach, refocus, repeat. Alternatively, super setting max lifts and power combos with aggressive focus stretching would also be a good idea if you don't want to work on stretches alone.
