Do you stretch?

Was just wondering if people stetch to avoid injuries or do you just jump straight into it and start throwing weights around?

I have to admit i know i should but i dont warm up properly i do a couple of warm up sets at bout 50% - 70% of my working weight but i dont really do any stretches and im staring to feel more aches and pains in the colder days. Also i always seem to hurt my traps when doing shrugs cos i just go straight into them.

Prob is i always think im gonna look stupid if im stretching...but always feel stupider when i get injured.:crazy:
