I enjoyed this article. In fact, I just finished my first session! It's more tiring than I would have expected, but I do feel loose.

Im confused. I thought dynamic prelifting and static at the end of lifting.. your saying static, then dynamic?
We do dynamic warms as part of our warm up,most from the cressey/robertson dvd.

i agree with you. if i do too much stretching, i feel stringy and weak during my workouts. i just do very minimal static stretching, hitting a few lower muscle groups for only about 10-15 seconds each, and then move on to a few dynamic stretches before training. i save the static stretching for a few hours before training, right after training, or before bed.
