fascia stretching, input needed(swole)

[statuZ]

Does anyone here incorporate fascia stretches into their workouts? I have always done biceps but i just recently started stretching my pecs. Do you guys believe it truly does help stretch the fascia of the muscle thereby increasing the muscle size? Im wandering what swolecats opinion is on this and any others.

Personally I dont believe it as the fascia gets stretched every time you get a good pump. A lot of stretching happens at the point of origin, basically where the tendon attaches to the muscle so there would be limited fascia benefit using most forms of stretches

Some say it does, some say it doesn't. One thing is for sure though, if you are going to stretch, only do it after working your muscles. Stretching before you workout or during will reduce performance.

if you read the title thread with your eyes squinted it could be mistaken for saying something else,this info was as useful as fascia stretching.

i had a thread about this about 2 months ago or so. and i think it helps me out with strength and recovery...but size, no.
