when you stretch, are the muscle cells sliding past each other, or elongating? what is actually happening?

The muscle-gnomes that hold together the muscle fibers simply dislocate their shoulders when you stretch.

Hmm.. They recommend to do a warm up before stretching. And also to do a stretch after a weight lifting workout.

My stretching doesn't take longer than three minutes, I'd say. How about some of you , that lift weights?
