Good God is this ever true. I went many years without stretching and noticed a much higher probability I’d make a random muscle in my back or leg upset by doing something it wasn’t ready for.
Heavy lifts are one thing… Bending forward and back while painting a wall causing a back muscle to freak out was entirely unexpected and a wake up call for me to stretch every day. I still can’t touch my toes, but I’m getting there.
