I believe that at a minimum, most younger people should dedicate 20 percent of their workouts to pliability. As you get older, and depending on what sport you engage in (for example, contact versus noncontact), you’ll need to increase the percentage of pliability in your workout. Why do golfers today experience more back pain than they did in past decades? Why do baseball pitchers today need Tommy John surgery on a regular basis? Too much overload, and not enough muscle pliability!
