> If you're getting full range of motion exercise, you don't need to stretch, because the exercise itself is doing what needs to be done.

I dropped powerlifting when gyms closed in 2020. I picked it back up recently. With a garage gym it's now so easy to lift without so much dang ceremony, just warm up through the exercises themselves. Sessions all under an hour, PRed all three lifts at my meet, and never got a red light on squats when I used to get one for depth on one side all the time. Stretching is all time fake in my book.
