Stretching is a neurological adaptation. The more you stretch, the more tolerance you build for stretching. But stretching doesn’t make you more flexible.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19632878/
“As resistance training with external loads can improve range of motion, stretching prior to or after resistance training may not be necessary to enhance flexibility.”

Stretching has even been found to weaken your muscles before a workout lmao.
We need comparative studies. Without comparative studies it’s all pointless. The majority of research on physical therapy and stretching presupposes that it is beneficial. So the research on stretching and physical therapy begins with an unproven assumption that it is helpful. But the fact that the comparative studies show no benefit in stretching means that it’s just bullshit fiat medical science. Stretching is a waste of time. Most people I know that see physical therapists don’t get better. People get better despite what the physical therapists tell them to do, not because of.

That's a lot of words, but all I know is yoga good.
Haven’t looked at the research behind yoga but the stretching aspect is no different here. The mindfulness/relaxation can be good for some people. The research isn’t definitive on that though.

if stretching is a waste of time
why do i feel better when i do it?
i think your studies look at a very limited range of data.
Neurological adaptation. Feel free to share any comparative studies that show people are better off after stretching.

It’s kind of like when you’re listening to something really retarded and then you turn it off and you feel better because the silence is such a relief 😂
I feel retarded reading this take bro

I’ve always hated spending time at the gym stretching….but it doesn’t seem to loosen me up….what about warmup sets. Any use in those?
There is no harm in warming up. If you are going to lift heavy, you should definitely do some kind of warmup so you don’t strain or hurt yourself. However, lifting heavy is generally unnecessary if you practice high intensity training that was popularized by Mike Mentzer. Not to be confused with HIIT or high intensity interval training.

My experience in martial arts and yoga contradict you completely. I was able to measure increased flexibility in multiple instances.
Being limber doesn't mean you change size.
