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 |
