Good or bad??

Stretching In The Middle Of Workout. Not a good idea. DO NOT stretch between the sets or right after work out. Your muscles are build in a way that they extend in a certain pattern during the workout. Stretching during the time when muscles are extended and tight after the set is damaging to the muscle tissues. Have you ever seen a professional athlete stretching between exercises. Doubtful. You will almost always see athletes jumping and moving their arms to keep the muscles warm if the next exercise is not right after the previous one, but you can never see them stretch during the training or between the sets. Do a lot of stretching before the workout, not in the middle or after. You can stretch after workout, but you have to let time pass a little. About 2 hours is enough. So you want to stretch, perfect, excellent, great - Stretch BEFORE or about 2 hours and more after work out.

Hmmm. Never though about that. I get some pain in my shoulders and upper back since my car accedent and have a tendacy to streach between sets when I'm feeling pain. I'll have to try to stop doing that.

Please do not take any offense to this, but I would like to know your source or what research supports your ideas on not stretching during workouts. I was told (and not supported by research) that stretching causes the muscle cells to elongate, thus grows more, if done during the workout.
