"The latest salvo against stretching comes from a study published in the September issue of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, which found that static stretching before a workout lowered runners’ endurance and made their body less efficient. While previous studies have illustrated the effects of stretching on anaerobic activities, this was the first one to show the effects on runners."

That was pretty obvious to anyone who's exercised or worked out before. Dynamic stretching is fine. I usually do about 15-20 minutes of static stretches post work out, helps me quite a bit.

lol what is this shit?? not stretching before doing heavy lifts esp. squats and deads, or cardio activities such as basketball or other sports is a sure way to injure yourself. kids dont need to stretch but the older you get the more important it becomes.

Tbf Mentzer was saying this for years

As of right now the NSCA has been underfire from peers for admtting flawed research into their journals. The backfire of this has been the NSCA omitting almost anyone who had had papers published be omitted, therefore anyone who used their research for CEU's wouldn't be used. Not saying the above study isn't valid because its based on endurance.....which is TOTALLY the opposite of anything you, I or any power athlete (football, etc) is trying to accomplish. That being said, Mentzer was wrong!
