ARTICLE #1 - FLEXIBILITY AND WEIGHT TRAINING
The best times to stretch is right after a workout Static stretching of fatigued muscles performed immediately following the exercise helps to increase flexibility, but also enhances the muscles development and will help decrease the post-exercise soreness/DOMS delayed onset muscle soreness.
After you have used weights to overload and fatigue your muscles and are pumped full of blood and are shortened and tighter from the reps of intense training that often only takes the muscle through its full range of motion. This pump makes the muscle appear bigger. If the muscle is not stretched after training it will retain this decreased range of motion and the build up of lactic acid will cause post-exercise soreness.
Static stretching helps it to become more relaxed to a full range of movement. It also helps to remove lactic acid from the muscle. It merely reduces the tightness of your muscles so that they do not feel uncomfortable.
Strength workouts will often cause damage the muscle's connective tissue. The tissue heals in 1 to 2 days for small muscles and bigger muscles like legs and your back takes 3 to 4 days to heal and repair as well as your flexibility.To prevent the muscles from healing at a shorter length, i recommend static (a still position) stretching after strength workouts.
