Fair enough. Does that mean that static stretching is altogether bad, or just that you shouldn't do it before working out? Once you have warmed up or completed your workout, would it be appropriate to do static stretches then? I have some old (10+ years) references that say it's best to do stretches after warming up. Of course that could be contradicted by newer research.
