Welcome. I'm going to post more stuff like this hopefully because the stretching article, although chalked full of info, is overwhelming for someone new to stretching in general. I figure if people can start with knowing what they want to stretch and some basic stretches (and opposite strengthening for it) they can go from there into more detail.

For instance, in the article, he gives you a pec stretch with dumbells (db flye position) and then a scapula retractor exercise, prone flyes sorta. A person could start with that but if they were to read further into the article they could also figure out that an ACTIVE stretch is also a very good idea. With the article's example you are stretching the tight muscle in one exercise and strengthenining the weak muscles in another. But with an active stretch you are doing both to some extent at once.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
