Should lifters stretch or not? Is range of motion influencing strength performance? Are mobile powerlifters stronger? Dr Alyssa-Joy Spence explains the results of two studies measuring mobility in powerlifters in relation to the powerlifting performance. We talk about stretching, range of motion, strength, and differences between female and male lifters.

Alyssa-Joy is a lecturer and researcher in sport and exercise science at Auckland University of Technology. She is also a powerlifting coach at The Strength Athlete.
