    I agree that you should stretch, but I tend to stretch in my warm up sets, kind of wiggle in the squat, like Mike o'hearn says. Good post. Everone's body is different but I personally believe warming up is essential.

    Stretching on rest days is good too... gets blood rushing to the muscles.

    I used to stretch a lot. Every day after working out. Then i stopped because of time. MY muscles lost their flexibility and now i have a grade 2 tear in my hip flexor. Go figure.

The results from this study suggest that, to avoid a decrease in both the number of repetitions and total volume, stretching exercises should not be performed before a resistance training session. Additionally, strength-trained individuals may experience reduced maximal dynamic strength after PNF stretching." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22914099"

    I'd advise you to not take people's word as fact before checking out the scientific data on the matter.
    Is this evidence directed at only static-stretching prior to working out or just stretching in general? As an athlete I've always found it best to do some dynamic stretching before exercising, particularly for legs. I'm also confident in saying that every single professional athlete will warm up with dynamic stretches prior to exercising. If I don't warm up and do dynamic stretching before a big leg day, I won't have a big leg day.

    Good thread, repped OP.

    I've got legs tomorrow, squats is my first exercise, and as you can see from my sig my squat is sucking ass big time!

    I'm going to stretch out properly for longer than the 10 seconds I've been doing, lol, hamstrings, quads, hip rotators and see how I go, I'm having trouble going below parallel.

    Although it's unlikely, studies have some doing static stretches(non body moving stretches) before lifting can cause injury. If you reach your arm across your body(chest stretch) right before bench pressing, you're more likely to get injured. Dynamic stretching( body moving stretches) have been proven to prevent injury, and increase performance by loosening up tight muscles. Static stretching is great for improving flexibility but should be done AFTER a workout.

    That's what I've heard. It helps with preventing injuries in the hip when squatting because your hips will be able to extend farther, so you'll be able to squat ATG.

    i really need flexibility i am going to start a routine for this. so for example.

    5 minutes streching legs, 5 minutes streching back and 5 minutes streching hips. thats all for a day? 5 minutes for each part i want to flex?
    and repeat for 3+ time a week?

    I'm stretching for 30-60 mins every day so I guess I'm fine. It has helped me with lifting and my flexibility. I always suggest stretching to everyone.

    If you are not stretching...you are doing it wrong :
    It is important to improve the flexibility of tight muscles for :
    -Injury prevention
    -More efficient position, especially for squat
    -Better posture

    I used to only do static stretches because our coach told us that jerking would cause us to pull something. Then I read something on here about static and dynamic stretches so I started incorporating dynamic stretches before my lifts and runs. I can't say that my lifts dramatically improved but I got cramps in my legs a lot less often, especially when benching heavy.
