I was quoting @Khornight2.
pre-exercise stretching is actually worse for performance.
^ repost. That was my initial response (on the previous page) ;-)

There's a big difference between pre-ex stretching and 'flexibility'.

Yeah, I was just trying to get some discussion on the matter, I'm a fat fuck who doesn't stretch ( or ride a bike that much at the moment) or race so the answer doesn't bother me... I'm going to carry on not stretching! (Although I do tiachi a couple of times a week)
But the theory interests me.

When you say "less flexible" are you just talking about the drawbacks of stretching before exercise? Because that is generally thought to be true - ie. pre-exercise stretching is actually worse for performance.
