Benefits of stretching for strength training

Stretching is generally not beneficial for strength training. Generalized stretching is unlikely to improve specific movements or overall strength performance. Stretching does not appear to reduce injury risk or reduce soreness. The focus should be on strength training itself to improve performance and strength gains.
