Objectively the best answer. Warming up but not tearing muscle before working out so you can tear it by lifting, then light stretching to *maintain* flexibility and get blood flowing to the muscles you used.

If you try to stretch for flexibility while lifting, you'll spend your gains energy on flexibility and not make as many gains.
