I thought stretching was scientifically ambigious, with just as many studies saying it hinders performance as it improves it?
I’ve never done it myself, I do warm up - but actively, with either light weight (weight training) or low intensity warm up jog (when doing cardio, even before a time trial or vo2 max protocol).
Anecdotally I just know that my back and hips really start to hurt if I don’t do it.
And the PTs I’ve seen say it’s important for injury prevention. Your light weights might have enough mobility baked in that you’re getting enough from that?

It is - it feels really good, but overall I think staying on top of mobility and strength are the most important things
