Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

They had the technology to rebuild me. They made me better, stronger, faster......

I find static stretching to be a complete waste of time. Studies have shown that it decreases muscle force production before an exercise. It only temporarily increases your mobility, but not really in a good way, because you haven't developed stability in that extra ROM. It also takes up a lot of time.

Dynamic stretching incorporated into your ramping up sets is the way to go IMO. For example you are trying to squat 405 as your top set. Slap on 2 45s and just pause your reps, spending extra time in the hole, wiggle your hips and knees around. That's really all you need.

If you are going to stretch particular areas, you also need to strengthen that area. Otherwise it's useless.

Over to years I’ve whittled down dedicated warmup stuff to pretty much nothing and haven’t noticed any negative difference. Most of my heavy barbell work pyramids up from programming and that’s really all I need.
Lifts:
Squat: 460x1
Bench: 400x1
Deadlift: 575x1
OHP: 250x2
Weight: 180 lbs.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

/Thread. Static stretching before intense physical activity is counterproductive.

"I am like getting the feeling of cumming in the gym; I'm getting the feeling of cumming at home; I'm getting the feeling of cumming backstage; when I pump up, when I pose out in front of 5000 people I get the same feeling, so I am cumming day and night. It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Warming up with the actual or similar movement makes sense. Stretching just to stretch for me has always been the number one way i got injured.
