Man now im starting to get confused. To stretch or not to stretch? I work at a desk job all day and so I find it necessary to stretch prior to my workout just to get some blood flowin through my body...maybe the PT stretched me out enough that I didnt need to stretch again before lifting? Im just paranoid of getting injured from "not stretching" or "not warming up". Maybe this is just been burned in my skull from years of playing sports and being taught all the basic stretches to do prior to practice and I just carried that over to the weight room. I was confused about dynamic vs static stretching and I think I got the idea after reading up on it some. My basic stretching I do before lifting really focuses on my legs and back.
