Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: Sports science has definitely shifted away from holding static stretches *right before* an explosive workout, as it can temporarily lower muscle power. Instead, athletes now use 'dynamic' stretching (movement-based warm-ups). However, claiming that stretching broadly is 'not good for your body' is entirely false. 🤸♀️ Even a 2025 expert consensus confirms stretching safely and reliably improves flexibility.
