Get Ready For Dynamic Stretching in 2015

[youllbefine]

So after loading for for 15 min then sitting and driving 30 min to my first stop what do I do ? Sit in the dock bay and stretch again ?

Just put some routes In! Quit spending money,on stupid stuff. It's work,not the olympics.

THEY CAN STRETCH ON DEEZE lol.

 

[jumpman23]

You could stretch all day and be an olympic gymnast, still don't help the constant pounding of your joints every day FREAKIN RETARDS DUH lol.

I'll continue to stand there staring at the on-car, center manager/dm, etc when they say to stretch. Multiple studies have been done that all came to the conclusion that you have to do cardio first to warm up. No way I'm doing cardio in boots or before going out to do physical labor. They can kiss my ass. I've never once had any injury at UPS so they can kiss it.

lol

I know how to stretch and exactly how much stretching I need, dammit. I'll tell them where they can dynamically shove it.

Just make sure you drink thirty gallons of water first!

 

[laffter]

They always make everything our fault anyway. Even if you participated in the stretch.

YOU DIDN'T DO IT PROPERLY!!!

 

[jumpman23]

Just make sure you drink thirty gallons of water first!

32 gallons to play it safe lol.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

32 gallons of beer to play it safe lol.

got that right.

 

[brownmonster]

Been delivering 25 years . Never stretched before work. You make me stretch, I'll pull something. Just sayin.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

So what happens when this new stretch routine happens, and employees pull muscles or injure themselves?

 

[bleedinbrown58]

You can stretch all the live long day. My joints hurt...you got a dynamic stretch for that? Lift phone, and dial sup. That works!

So I need to stretch during PCM then get in truck and sit for 20-30 minutes while I travel to the beginning of my route.

Tell me again how stretching helps.

This. My route is 35-40 minutes from the hub. I stretch what I can at the light around the corner from my first stop. PCM stretching is hilarious.

 

[jumpman23]

Every morning as soon as I get up and let pooch out, I get on my inversion table and stretch these old bones. Helps a lot and feel a lot better quick.

Meh. I enjoy a good stretch and back popping. Feels pretty good and I,have to drive an hour to my first stop.

Yeah the problem is the toll on the knees not the muscles.

So true. That first time you hit the ground after the long drive is rough as hell.

 

[jumpman23]

I always get my little ZEN mind and body stretch as soon as I get to my first stop for a few minutes. Just try and get my mind right to deal with this BORINGAZZ job for the day. Everyday thing before my freedom ends lol.

 

[brostalss]

I give a week or two as it is a new toy. Like all new toys (telematics, EDD, ORION, etc, etc) it's the hot topic or " flavor of the week" then it's forgotten.

 

[soberups]

I usually do some stretching on my own in the morning, regardless of whether or not it is being discussed at the PCM. I have my own routine that works for me, and with zero lost-time injuries in almost 27 years of driving to show for it I don't plan on changing that routine just because UPS wants to pretend that it cares about my safety.
