Old Forum Stretching for bigger and stronger

[Dog]

Pavel once said for T-Nation:

"There are also some esoteric forms of stretching that can make you stronger or bigger, such as loaded passive stretching. Yefimov found out in 1977 that this type of stretching was really effective at increasing your strength. It’s literal stretching. You use fairly light weight and you let the weight stretch out the muscle after a set"...

I have Relax into stretch, Superjoints, Loaded stretching and Strength Stretching with Pavel. It´s very interesting and you know, i´m big nerd

Are there any other methods of stretching for strength and mass? What should I read?

Dog, my video "Loaded Stretching" is dedicated to these stretches.

Can you grow somewhat from isometric stretching? When it´s long tension and it makes you stronger in the extreme range?

 

[Steve Freides]

Loaded Stretching and Strength Stretching will help you become stronger, which will, in turn, enable you to use heavier weights to increase your size if that is your wish.  I wouldn't hold out much hope for isometric stretching, by itself, to increase muscle size.
