Sometimes in upping the intensity in a routine, it can help you. For instance, my current weight lifting sessions don't last longer than 20 to 25 minutes. I feel a great burn, sweat like heck, and don't feel rushed. I rest only a few second between sets, and a minute between exercises. Would you consider that rushing? Stretching the wrong way can cause injuries. A buddy of mine pulled his pec because he stretched the old fashioned way. I believe in warming up the body part by performing a lighter weight version of the exercise I am about to do. The only time I stretch is when I run, I stretch my legs....

Staring at a girl while she performs a "bendy" type of exercise while you should be focusing on spotting your workout partner. I just watched this happen last night at the gym. I actually had to run over and pull a 225 lb barbell off of a kid's chest because his spotter was too busy watching a girl's butt to notice that his friend had missed his bench press lift.
