When doing stretches, don't forget the opposite side of the equation which is strength.

Not the "I'm going to bench 200lbs" type strength, but the musculature that supports movement.

It's quite easy to always focus on stretching, but not build the muscles that support good movement. You can turn yourself into a floppy noodle, which brings on more injury.

The two kinds of strength are correlated and ability to push heavy weights is super useful. In my experience, it helps.
