right after i complete my sets (although a controversy) they say that stretching the muscle helps actually make it bigger due to fascia being stretched (fascia is the ahh cant remember the word but it is like a pillow case to a pillow u know?.)thus stretching the fascia supposedly will help the muscle to grow more bigger

that and i do it cause it helps relieve the stress from workingout

stretching doesn't relieve soreness...the in btw sets stretching does have merit but stretching before lifting makes you weaker so i'd rather be strong and small then big and weak
