I feel like that's bad advice because people don't know how to properly stretch
A lot of static stretching can actually make areas unstable.
Active warm ups and active stretching is the way to go.

I have a weird relationship with squatting
I was squatting 315 at 14, *** to the grass cause our Strength and Conditioning coach was a former bodybuilder and didn't play games
After Graduation i didn't squat at all and my mobility is all f' d up now
Been seriously focusing on my mobility the past few months. I haven't been going awfully heavy though. I'm trying to perfect my form before I slap on real weight.

By your post it sounds like you are just targeting those areas. Are you doing cardio, back, legs etc? How's your eating habits? You can work chest all day everyday but still have the belly of Rick Ross if you don't do properly eat or work your body

Honestly that's how I do it , trust me most ppl tend to be weak when it comes to incline but I've gotten better , and I tend to be more tired once I do flat bench before incline .

I'm walking two miles each day or 20 min on treadmill with two- three minute runs within the span. I haven't been doing enough on legs, but I have been working shoulders and arms. I play ball 2-3 times weekly. My wife has switched over to turkey in place of ground beef for majority of our dishes. I have been trying to stop eating after 7, but it's been difficult with work schedule. I eat out way too much. Somedays I have to leave debit card at home to prevent it.

Zercher's seem col but dude said a regular bar might be too thin and painful when it digs into your arm, not every gym has thicker bars. I usually finish my leg days with goblet squats.

Yea it's not a big deal eating after a certain time. Might take a while for you to drop that weight. Also gotta look at how much muscle you've put on. Remember muscle weighs more than fat so it sounds like you've lost fat and put on muscle. Eating out a lot especially if it's unhealthy sure doesn't help. What I've found that has helped me lose weight and put on muscle is endurance work. Start with some cardio as I always do and then I would do bench, deads, pull-ups, push ups, squats. Lower weight/ higher reps. I would get home and still be sweating.

Yeah my normal routine is 15-20 min in sauna, 20 minutes on treadmill (or two mile walk afterwards) and then the weights. I just switched it up so that I do chest/abs, arms/shoulders and legs twice weekly. I need to do it for a month to see the effects.

I drink a lot of water but clearly not enough. My best drop was 12lbs. I was super focused then. No alcohol outside of one shot in 30 days, no bread, no cheese and was whooping the gym's ***. It was for a family contest to win like $300. I celebrated at pappadeaux and fell off.

Dude where is back?? What muscle group is bigger in your upper body than your back? Adding muscle to your overall body is how you're going to increase your metabolism and drop fat. If i were you, to keep it simple, id focus my time doing deadlifts, squats, bench, and ohp, and build my routine around those lifts. You want to work the major muscle groups because thats where you'll make the biggest difference.
Also if i went to the gym and did what you do, and have been there 40 mins without even lifting a weight, id want to fight someone
Sauna is cool and all and 20 mins (mostly walking) treadmill sounds terrific but why not maximize your gym time...if u want to do the treadmill to warm up, jogging for 5 mins should be enough. Warm up sets should be enough imo. Hit the weights at full strength when u get there and close out with treadmill or some HIIT.
Nutrition is a whole other ball game
