Anuj, I would save the fascia stretching for actual weight workouts and just do normal "run o the mill" static stretches for cardio only or off days. Or, in other words, a lighter, less forced stretch.

The reason I say this is because the fascia stretches are desined to be damaging to the fascia tissue in their own right. You need to allow time for recovery from the fascia stetching and for the fascia bag to heal and "remodel". Just like you need time for your muscles to recover.

Also, don't ignore the part about the blood pump in the muscles faciliatating maximum stretching of the fascia, as I think this is an important bit. As well as the muscles being extremely warm.

Remember, the fascia stretching is not about flexibility per se, but about facilitating muscle growth. Although they will of course increase flexibility, especially by damping the golgi reflex (which could increase stength). But any normal stretching if done correctly can increase flexiblilty.

So stretching after your cardio is good. I just woudn't do damage inducing stretches on non weight training days.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
