How do they tell you you can stretch your fascia?

If you are overall healthy, stretching before weight training, sports etc is a bad idea. This is because you are literally stretching the muscles out longer - and in weight training and sports you are contracting them, if they're stretched they don't contract as well.
I dont know if this is just me, but i tend to do some light stretching during my workouts on the major muscle group im using. E.g. I stretch my shoulders when im doing shoulders or legs when im doing legs and this tends to help me in between sets. It gives me a greater range of motion if im tightening up (especially shoulders) and saves me time at the end of my workout. I've started doing some research into Fascial Stretching (stretching of the fascial connective tissue that compartmentalises our muscles). The suggestion being that if we stretch this it gives more room for muscles to expand and extra blood flow. Fadi may correct me if my beliefs/assumptions are wrong.
