Nah, that's too much thinking for me. I've learned that if stretching sucks too hard, I don't keep up with it. My best success has come from using movements like those split squats as supplemental exercises to my main lifts. Has an intense peak contraction, but it's part of a more global "body is one piece" movement.




Sounds great. I have often glazed over when someone spoke about stretching. I tend to be about movement and improving reflexive stability which I found improved 'flexibility' as my body seemed to relax into the movements. Though from a 'stretching' standpoint, I have found loaded stretches a mental and physical test.

I had decided to try the peak contraction work on the back of Dan John's PUPP programme (or something similar).
