Static vs. Dynamic Stretching
I usually do static stretching, but I read in Men's Health that you should do static stretching before you workout. They say dynamic stretching is best to avoid injury.
Which do you do?

i've been told to avoid static stretching before lifting.
do dynamic stretching before lifting, and static for after or on off days.
i don't have the articles quoted, but i'm sure u could look it up.

We always do some sort of dynamic stretching at CFE. Never really thought about it, but I guess it makes sense.
