Discharge Lipos before charging?

[Funracer]

Hello,

Finally I bought some Lipos in oder to start RC racing again. I thought that these batteries can be charged days before use and also can be re-charged after runnning without having to care for the remaining capacity . Now I read on a touring car forum that folks discharge their Lipos to 6V before charging them with even more than 1C. This charging method shall offer more punch and therefore more speed. Have you ever heard of something like this? I feel like things are going back to NIMH age . Perhaps I better stick to my crawlers...

Cheers, Norbert
