do you stretch before weights?

[Amargot]

What is the reality of stretching and should you be doing it before you workout or after? Or should we stretch on non workout days entirely?

I was having this debate with someone else and they said at their age they have to stretch or else they will get injured but another guy said it was bad to stretch before.

stretching? no. stretch after ! and/or stretch before bed.

You can never stretch enough! Also, The less range of motion you use in workouts the more you should stretch
