Static Stretching and Intense Training for Volleyball

Question:

Why is it that you mentioned on the training tips that if we do the jump strength program not to do static stretch at the end? When is it ok to do the static stretches?

Answer:

I don't recommend stretching at the end of program because your muscles could be extremely tight and you could pull them if you try stretching them. Massage, foam rolling, and hot/cold contrast therapy is safer. I prefer static stretching to cool down after most workouts, but not the Jump Strength Program because it's so intense.
