>tfw too intelligent to stretch

Static stretching before heavy lifting is a bad idea, so good job

I'd rather be the leaning tower of pisa than a balanced hut of nobody gives a fuck

>>40390825
Who said anything about doing it before lifting
That's retarded

>>40390825
What is this meme

>>40390825
the sticky says this, because apparently it can cause your muscles to tighten up instead of loosening, which can lead to injury.

they suggest doing warm up sets instead

>>40390847
Dynamic stretching before lifting, static after

>>40390838
It's not a meme. Static stretching before heavy lifting can increase the chance of injury

>>40390847
Good to know. This is what I do. I hate static stretching anyway because I have the flexibility of a turtle.

Dynamic stretching. That's the way forward.

You can't stretch cold muscles. Do some warm up sets and then static stretch any muscles which feel a bit tight. You can continue to do this throughout your workout.

Smash some yoga poses at the end of the workout to relax and improve felxability

>tfw constant aches and pains because I never stretch

How though? Just saying it doesn't explain.

Oh I'm sure you've made great gains on those sticky suggested programs. I mean why would someone put false information on the internet, right?

>stretching with cold muscles is bad
no shit sherlock, stretching has always been a post workout thing and is godly to stave off soreness
also, suppleness gains are nice as party or bedroom tricks
