Unless you're a yoga person (ie weird) or in some kind of rehab stretching's a massive, massive waste of time. It's used as filler in health club exercise classes for mums, and in books by the likes of ol' Pavel and a million other shrewd businessmen who set themselves up as gurus and rope in gullible mugus like the infamous bet welcher of esb brixton bummer.
I hope you have a bad injury just so you have to go to the physio and hear "you need to start stretching mate..." It's FAR from overrated, you clueless idiot. Olympic Weightlifters - easily the most flexible of all the lifters - focus on stretching a hell of a lot. If they don't they get stiff and lose their flexibility which is killer in that game. If some of the most explosive AND strongest (if not both, IMO) athletes on EARTH swear by it, I'm pretty sure I'll take their opinion over some bloke with a username called "ant-man" on a boxing forum (god sake...) ANYDAY OF THE WEEK.
Hey look! It's ant-man! The guy who discredits stretching (because it doesn't work for him, yet he doesn't do it) and discredits the worlds best coaches (calls it "bro science" when it's really not), and then puts you on ignore when you disagree with him! Hope you've got your "big boy pants" on, pal, as today isn't going so well for you. Not even noon and you're blocking people! Boo-hoo. :|:dead
