There is some suspicion that fiber splitting also occurs during this stretching period.

Rofling eh?
Sure, this makes sense. Because of gravity, many exercises feature heavier contractile than tensile forces on muscle fibers. Using stretching to help elongate fibers (THIS IS NOT MUSCLE MEMORY) and, as GP mentions elsewhere, encourage myocyte nuclei (satellite cells waiting to differentiate into specific fiber types once they become incorporated into a fiber - a truely ultracool process) migration to the ends of the fibers. There is some suspicion that fiber splitting also occurs during this stretching period.
Do not stretch in between sets, but do so after high intensity loading of a muscle in isolation.
Rolfing is an interesting notion. Adjunct to chiropractic adjustment, it forces muscle mass into an alignment that facillitates long axon nerve signal propagation from target muscle to brain.
Not such a foolish notion, although it got a lot of bad earplay a decade back when it became faddish.
A more enlightened form of Rolfing:
1. Yoga (power type) routines
2. Tai Chi and Qi Gong (Chi Gung).
This shit works. It improves muscle memory and CNS recovery, plus it help builds muscle strength in accessory groups, a nice benefit beyond flexibility training.
The science behind this notion of extreme stretching is quite cool - when its done correctly.
There is method in the madness: motion sequence is the key.
Why wouldn't I stetch inbetween sets and then do a hard stretch afterwards?
TFL....I know what that is!!! And where it's at!! I'm excited....tensor fasciae latae right??
Sorry, I've been studying and it's good to know some of this sticking!!
You got it. Do you know the primary hip articulations it is involved in too?
......
I'm looking at an anatomical chart (and it's a bad picture), so I really don't know. But it looks to be on the outer side of the leg, tying into the gluteus maximus (?) So it might be responsible for some abduction, or hip extension??
hip flexion
hip abduction
and internal rotation
Ok, I know hip extension/flexion, and adduction/abduction....but could you please describe briefly internal and external rotation of the hip...maybe with an exercise for each??
