There is some literature that suggests post stretching is bad, but it's not a definite no.

also on my off days ill static stretch twice a day at least.

I hope you are warm when you are doing that.

Why are you stretching that much? Do you want to do splits?

@trumpeter2 links on that?

i want to be flexible. everyone thinks being able to splits is girly except when Jean Claude Van Damme punched that dude in the dick in Bloodsport after doing a split.

@dawn16 What exactly do you want to know?

That it might be possible that post stretching is bad?

That cold stretching is bad?

Or that static stretching is bad pre workout?
