Stretching Before Training
Stretching the muscle before a training them decreases strength and power.
A second factor is that tendons and ligaments are more pliable after a workout.
For those reason, it is much better to stretch at the end of your training rather than before.
Fascia Stretch
Stretching between sets as a means of increasing muscle mass appears increase muscle size.
However to reiterate, doing so will decrease your strength and power.
So, you trading one for another.
