How important is Fascia stretching?

Something i certainly have neglected over the years....which is silly of me considering how my frame is naturally small and my starting point was very very skinny (and small muscles)

i'm thinking it would help tremendously. anyone do this regularly?
 
I had a sweet workout with a shit load of hard stretching after every set.

You ever hear of Spider Stretching?

I think that is what it was called.lol

ex.

after each chest set. lay on a bench w/light db's (20lbs) streatched down as far as possible for 20 seconds. hurts like a mofo

Yeah that is it!

It is surprising how much light weight stretched out for 20 seconds hurts.

I swear it helped me bulk up. I am very small framed. But, I put on a lot of size the few yrs I worked in that workout.

i don't stretch before i start my lifting routine, i like to hit the weights cold

but once i have a pump going i stretch in between sets, feels great and i think it helps bring blood to deeper parts of the muscle
 
It works for lagging groups , especially Bis and Chest

that's exactly what i'm talking about. stretching before is not a good idea anyways since your muscles aren't warmed up.

have you always done this?

i think not doing it has been a huge detriment to my routine. I imagine given my frame, starting point from lifting and genetics in general that i probably have tight fascia surrounding my muscles thus limiting growth. pumped to try it!!

i have heard this before, people saying they prefer not to stretch before lifting. how would this be of benefit?
im too scared to not stretch before, that i'll tear a pec clean off or something lol
