I didn't use to but now I always do. Injuries suck and stretching help prevent them.

A guy said. Your so emotionally angry it causes you to get tense
He was an older way more knowledgeable guy... a mentor
Let go of your anger, loosen up and listen. Really listen to your body..
It was transforming..

Like others have said, I never used to but I sure do now. At my age injuries don’t heal very quickly so I’m more mindful of them. I try to start my workout with some pull-ups, slowly, all the way to the bottom with some hanging time at the bottom. When I do burpees I make sure to do a full range with a full squat on the way down and on the way up. When I do wind sprints I do a full 20 second stretch on each side, alternating quads and Achilles between each sprint. Sit-ups, I extend a medicine ball over my head, reaching back as far as possible between reps.
I have better mobility now than I did 20 years ago....though, that isn’t saying a whole lot.
