Ramblings Of A Bulldog Honky

ive seen it popular in spurts over the years, theory is that muscle is wrapped in an "elastic" called fascia which limits the growth. u stretch the fasica to allow the muscle to grow. i always thought it was bullshit but Dave Palumbo mentioned it in a podcast on MD.com recently, so i figured id give i a serious try for a couple weeks on my chest -  since thats the only part i know how to stretch right now.
chest :  i take NO products so i get a good pump after about 2 sets. then after every other set id get in my power rack, like im on a cross. and stretch like a motha****a. till my chest muscles burned. (paying special attention not to hurt my shoulder joints). i did this followed by flexing. stretchin my right pec especially since it is a tad smaller, due to shitty liftin form as a teenager.

anyways! the othernight when i was gettin in the shower i noticed i had a quarter size bruising where the pec, shoulder tie in is - by the armpit basically. i looked closer and in the bruise was actually about 2 brand new stretchmarks.  this happened on the side that i have paid special attention to stretching, so im sure its not a coincidence. only took 2 weeks to see these results and im definitly gonna keep up with the fascial stretching now; i gotta find out how to strech all the other parts now
