Anyone else really hate stretches? I'd much rather just get into the weights instead of fucking around with stretches.

I stretch during my cooldown. I wish I hadn't neglected my flexibility when I first got into training, now I have all sorts of minor issues that make my warmups last almost as long as my training.

Stretching routine?

Before work-out? After work-out? I've always neglected it, even when in highschool sports (thought they were supposed to stress that stuff, mer.) Now I'm 23 and have the flexibility of a cripple.

Afaik after the workout if you're doing something that requires explosive power like weightlifting.

I stretch to remove pains. Sometimes I stretch preemptively before pain, but usually just reactively only.

You don't need to. If you want to injury yourself. Hamstrings get tight, they get pulled and they tear. Same with every other muscle. Not to mention if you want bigger muscle stretching the fascia allows for more room for the muscle to grow into.

Only stretch after weights though, as doing it before hand will weaken you and increase the chance of injury while lifting.

Only fat asses and lazy noobs stretch, it buys them time to get away from real exercise.

That's me! I would much rather stretch than lift weights. Not as an excuse not to do anything, but because lifting takes so much effort and is painful.

Getting sore muscles all over as a result of a heavy stretching session is awesome.
