A member asked:

I am a boxer trying to improve on my power & gain some muscle, if i weight lift 2 to 3 times per week, will i lose flexibility & agility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on protocol: If you are trying to improve agility and strength stretching is very important to make ligaments and muscles more supple. Strengthening exercisers should utilize lighter weights with multiple reps with a faster pace, working not so much to build muscle but improve agility and decrease fatigue.
