Let's put yourself in this situation.You are competing in the school's 3-mile run and you want to do a great job.If you can, stretch beforehand. You just competed in the school's 3-mile run and you did a great job but your muscles are a bit sore.Stretch them but not beyond comfort. If you stretch them too much, it will not heal just get worse. Don't think about trying to stretch until the pain is gone. You won't feel or realize it, but it'll heal half as fast!

Why when your muscles are stretched can you not lift as much?

When your muscles are stretched, their ability to generate force decreases due to the alteration in the optimal length-tension relationship. Muscles produce maximum force when they are at a specific length, and excessive stretching can place them beyond this optimal range, reducing their efficiency. Additionally, a stretched muscle may not engage its full contractile potential, leading to decreased strength during lifting. This biomechanical limitation explains why you can't lift as much when your muscles are overly stretched.
