Carson: there is no sound scientific support for stretching before the workout. An exercises-specific warm-up is better, in my opinion. If, however, you're used to stretching before your workout and it's part of your &amp;#34;traditional&amp;#34; pre-workout routine, you could stick to it. If it works for you, it works for you. I'm afraid we'll start a debate on stretching here, and I'm not interested in that. I might not reply to upcoming posts about the usefulness of flexibility training. Regards everyone, -CJ Cloud is right.

If, however, you’re used to stretching before your workout and it’s part of your "traditional" pre-workout routine, you could stick to it. If it works for you, it works for you.

What I believe Carl is referring to is static stretching. This actually impairs the muscle's ability to create force. Static stretching is done at the end of the workout.

You suggest not stretching before? I usually do a simple chest stretch during my 5 minute stretch routine before I do any exercises at all. Are you suggesting I stop doing this and simply stretch afterwards? Interesting.
