When you are young stretching/warm ups doesn't seem like it does anything but as you get older, around when you leave school, stretching/warm ups help prevent injuries

I don't warm up as in stretching but I do a lot of warm up sets it all depends on your mobility and what you need

>>34911255
Always warm up. Most of dudes at my uni gym stretch post session. But every single one of them warms up before ANY kind of hard sessions. I'm no scientist but as far as I know it prepares your muscles for strain. Something with the body sending extra blood (the pump) to help the muscles. A light warm up just to get the blood moving and where it needs to be is beyond beneficial. If you don't believe do an experiment. For 2 weeks don't warm up. The warm up the following 2. You will be amazed at the difference senpai

Thank you for your answer. By far the most helpful one.
As for the experiment, it's a good idea, so I shall do it.

Warm ups are good because they help with your form when you're on your working sets and they make your joints wet.

You don't want to do working sets with dry joints. That's a one way ticket to snap city.

Also the sticky has foam rolling in it which is a different form of streching to the typical stretching. There is a difference between dynamic and static stretching and I can't remember which one is better than the other

You still play games for "+18" even if you are not. The same applies for movies. Or any other thing.
I think I'm "mentally old enough" for 4chan to be honest.

(aka pls don't tell anyone)

Everyone is different but generally most people respond to a post workout stretch at >18 I personally do a stretch before and after but all my joints are kinda fucked and my mobility is bare minimum required to lift. So I need it as much as I can otherwise I'm tight all day. Like I'm wearing toddler clothes

If you put a rubberband in the freezer and then put a load on it it will snap.

If you stretch it, it won't hold the load.

If you warm it up it will work fine.

Literally the same principle

Now this is the most important thing I can say to you at your age: get off of 4chan. 95% of the people here and 99% of the posters have no idea what they are talking about. This entire site is cancer. It's too late for me, but you still have time.

That was a great example! Thank you very much.
As for leaving 4chan, I must say that I had heard about it before but I only "got into it" during a time when I was so bored I litterally had nothing better to do than to stare at a wall. Then I found 4chan which really helped to keep me entertained with something. I agree, I find many people here weird, but still, if I were to leave 4chan I think I would get bored and "empty" again, unless I could find anything to replace 4chan. But can anything replace 4chan once you get into it?

I used to be like that until I pulled my butt

Anything is better than 4chan. Make friends, take up hobbies, read books. /fit/ is one of the less cancerous boards. If you get pulled into things like /b/ / or /pol/ then god help you
