Ten reps may be a little much. I was thinking more like a COUPLE sets of 7 or 8 LIGHT :). If you go too high volume then you defeat the purpose of a recovery day because volume will actually incur...

No dude, it's nothing to be confused about. Stretch AFTER you lift. That's all. You can do dynamic stretches and mobility drills BEFORE you lift if you need to just don't do the classic "static"...
