holding a stretch 5 Years, 3 Months ago  
Why don't I hold the stretch for at least 30 seconds, as is done in more traditional stretching?

Re: holding a stretch 5 Years, 3 Months ago  
With Resistance Stretching, most of the stretch occurs during the movement, not at the end point of the stretch. When you strength train a muscle, you start with the muscle elongated, shorten and contract, then repeat. The same applies to Resistance Stretching except you start with the muscle shortenend, elongate and contract, then repeat.
