I never stretch after I lift weights. Should I start doing so and why?
(Not that it matters, but I am 21 male lifting weights to gain mass because I'm a skinny fag and I usually stretch abit not a lot before lifting weights.)

I googled it just now and first thing I read about it mind fucked me.

Don't stretch before you lift weights because it's a waste of time and makes you weaker?
Only do it afterwards?

Damn thats a trip, but I mean, I thought stretching helped avoid cramps and warmed you up for physical activity? Although Im thinking about running and the article was about lifting.

Hardcore static streches before lifting exhaust you and make you perform less. Actually you don't even need limber muscles before you do lifting, just do some light bike/treadmill/rope to get the blood flowing. You need limber muscles when you are doing a sport like football or martial arts.

You need to be stretching, I recommend going from the static stretches in the pic to a little dynamic stretching. Of course, you should be warm first so 5-10 minutes of easy cardio beforehand is great.
