How important is it to stretch when working out and should you do it before or after lifting?
>>
>should you do it before or after lifting

both. dynamic stretch before and static stretch after. it fixed my posture and i feel much less stiff than i did before and my lifts feel so much smoother.
>>
foam roll and dynamic stretching before working out

static stretching and mobility work in separate sessions or on off days

Just walk or jog to the gym and then you do the warm-up set. When you're done working out, walk or jog back home and stretch.

stretch only after, pic related, takes less than 10 minutes

don't stretch before
mobility is a meme
long warmups are a meme
do some fucking jumping jacks or jog a lap then warmup with the bar in each lift you'll be fine

It depends. Studies show that stretching before any activity decreases levels of performance.

With that in mind, if you need to be able to have a certain ROM to perform a certain task, you should stretch to that level.
EX: Sprinter can't run with proper form if he doesn't increase his ROM from stretching prior to the run (Temporary ROM not plastic ROM).
The obvious answer would be to stretch, even though if he already had the desired ROM he would be able to perform better without stretching.

That's just my opinion, and what research says.

Ok so here's the real answer, just ignore the fucking talentchads and dyels here who give bad advice and don't practice what they preach. I can front split, middle split and pancake pretty comfy and I didn't use /fit/ shit advice at all.

Just jogging bro! isn't much help at all.

Firstly, you should diagnose problem areas, it can be done with various tests if you google them but also practice the movement itself and identify problem areas, stretching does not help without an aim.

The solution is different for every individual but it's always best to try to warm up/stretch with movements similar to those you are performing. Eg. For squats, try squatting down and pushing knees out, Spider-Man lunge etc, various goblet squat and overhead squat drills since mobility is primarily a neural quality.

A little static stretching is fine if you find that it helps you get into better positions, people completely blow this out of proportion as being terrible.

Pro-tip: Elite weightlifters static stretch before a workout to allow them to get into better positions with less internal resistance (but anon who squats 3pl8 after reading SS tells you not to).

At the end of the day, the quality of movement matters much more than the weight lifted for the sake of 2kg less on a lift.

Stretch longer after lifting if you'd like, static and dynamic, again with movements similar to those you use, however you can target areas specifically. E.g. Frog stretch is a great hip opener that transfers well to squatting but it's probably better suited to after a workout due to less specificity.

Do isometric and PNF.

I highly suggest reading and looking into:
Quinn Henoch
Relax Into Stretch
Gold Medal Bodies

Quinn mainly if you just care about mobility for lifting

Being fit takes to much work. My workouts are already 1.5-2 hours long imagine how long I'd have to be in that bitch if I implement stretching as well.
