Why Stretching Before Lifting Weights Could Be Sabotaging Your Gains – Here’s What Science Really Says!
Who’d have thought that something that once took up the opening half of my taekwondo class would later be frowned upon in almost all fitness circles within my lifetime?

Stretching can undeniably be a good thing under the right circumstances. Almost every benefit that’s attributed to stretching is true; it can help to increase your range of motion, improve your posture and curtail injuries. By increasing the flow of blood to the muscles, stretching also helps them eliminate waste products, which isn’t the first thing people think of when they go to stretch, but which is helpful nonetheless.
