Why are people saying that stretching is bad?

I heard some bad things about stretching lately. As much as people praised stretching in the past they are pointing out its side effects now. I have been stretching before workouts for the past 5 years and have felt only improvement from doing so. Stretching is great, don’t you think?

I've proved the theory of muscular endurance

I've been following the tri-newbies weight lifting plan for quite a while now.

How to set up a good back training routine?

I don't know if it's inexperience or lack of intensity or that's just the way it is on back day, but I can't ever get a good pump/burn going. Chest, arms and legs are no problem. Very easy to really get a good pump going. I'm worried that my back will start lagging behind my legs and chest....
