I don't have anyone do static stretching before a workout. A good warmup will increase the availble ROM in your joints without static stretching. The only static stretching I have people do before a workout is sometimes for the hip flexors if they exhibit an anterior pelvic tilt and really overactive hip flexors. Even then, I usually stick in static stretching as a form of active rest in between exercises or circuits and finish what we didn't get done in the flexibility department at the end of the workout.

Yes,I like your way,It is very good.
Thank you.

For example, the deadlift walk is a move where you basically do a 1-leg RDL without weight. It's great for hip mobility, particularly hamstring flexibility. At the same time, it gets your glutes firing pretty good. Those who have grossly inhibited glutes probably won't be able to do this. However, those who have some prerequisite level of glute activation will really get them going with this movement. Really, the whole of your frontal plane stabilization musculature must work properly to pull these off.

Yes, I agree with you. Thank you. Now I must lose weight first. After that i will make my body to good.
