Hia rat.
what i do before a comp is spend a couple of hours in my hot tub.I do my stretches in the tub and i tell you what,you become flexible ten times quicker when the body is relaxed and the muscles are warm.The bath works just as well.just remember to not over stretch.I also use a leg stretcher after.Just be careful when it comes to working out with weight,as it can reduce your flexibility very quickly(body building).I hope it helps.I almost forgot the hotter the water the better the stretch.
