[QUOTE="Jones, post: 716662, member: 4805"] Yup, if you stretch without warming up that's pretty much exactly what will happen. Stretching doesn't get you ready for an athletic event (or a day of delivering packages), in fact for a lot of events it's counter productive. Proper post workout stretching should aid in recovery and if done consistently should give you some increased flexibility over the long term. If UPS was serious about getting us ready for the workday they would ditch the stretching and instead do some kind of dynamic warmup, but that would be time consuming and would require a manager who could safely engage in physical activity.
