Excellent article. As a massage therapist, I have been putting these ideas together myself, but this sums it all up beautifully.

Great article! Personally I perform the stretch after each part is worked. At the completion of training I run the entire gammet as a cool down. I have found that (after initially starting the stretches) I feel less soreness and am less tired the following day.

Have been lifting for 6-7 years and this is one of the better posts which I have read. Very beneficial information in order to move to the next level.

Great article, got a question, though.
I dont have a whole lot of experience with overtraining, but it seems to me that acquirering a pump on the first set of your workout, then doing some kick ass stretches could def. bring on some kind of overtraining if your not careful, since you dont just do one exercise for a muscle; you do multiple exercises to hit different parts of that muscle, so by getting a pump on the first exercise, youve already killed that muscle ,then you go on and finish the rest of the workout?

Maybe i didnt read right, just need some clarification.

Great read! My massage therapist told me that muscle can also attach itself to bone where it's not supposed to. The therapist I see developed his own method based on Shiatsu - it's painful but it's made a huge difference for me.
