I did't click your link, but I agree that stretching is important. I don't confine stretching to any specific sequence of exercise though. I stretch any time, throughout the day. It always feels good, anytime - post exercise, pre-exercise or no other exercise - stretch and twist.

I find I make my best progress with poundage when I follow a routine.

I find I make my best progress with poundage when I follow a routine. I would agree with that. In my case if I just free form it with no workouts planned out I tend to get over zealous and lift too heavy. Lots of people much smarter than me advocate cycling the poundages when training specifically for strength. Some experts suggest something close to this % 1 rep max | % Time you should spend in this range | 70-80 | 75 | 80-90 | 15 | 90-100 | 10 |
Left to my druthers, I go heavier and probably burn out a bit and hamper my gains. % 1 rep max | % Time I spend in this range
| 70-80 | 25 | 80-90 | 60 | 90-100 | 15 |
