Lots of Internet folks call this "end-range strength" training these days,
There is a lot of good stuff out there about training end range. The muscle in a lengthened position is at its weakest, so time spent there should in theory strengthen the entire muscle and ward off many injuries.....although I can't back that up, just what I have read.
Think hanging actively.
The split squat you posted.
Bottom of a pushup.
These are all stretched positions but 'active' or 'loaded' stretches.
Dante Trudel of DC bodybuilding fame has been writing about loaded stretches for years. Everyone thought he was just making it up initially....then they tried it....and stopped laughing.
Also, check out Jon Engums 4 weeks to flexible steel. Not used it but hear it used as a stand alone programme if needs be.
