Some people like to do dynamic stretches pre-workout to get loose.

Static stretching I love to do on off days and I try to target my weak areas. Chest, hip flexors, and hamstrings I always static stretch just because tightness in those areas is so easy to develop with a sedentary lifestyle.

There's a great article in the stickied section about flexibility and stretching. Personally I think it is the most overlooked aspect of training and possibly the foremost reason that people get injured while training.

ill check for that article
