I like the term loaded stretches. Nice and clean. Since I've done them, the immediate effect is a good sized muscle pump, the same kind as doing a 20 rep set. Now, I can see the stretches causing the muscle to be engorged with blood, shuttling nutrients, aminos, ect. enabling the muscle to heal faster and possibly grow bigger. That's my take during my experience with them. I think DC advocates it solely on the recovery aspect..At least that's what I've read into some of the things he posts.

I have no idea what the hell all this stuff is. It's a post I found from Viscious over at the HST board. He's another biology minded fellow over there. Of course, as you know, if I find anything related to stretching, I will post it in this thread. I don't think I could answer your questions any better than throwing out my uninformed opinions and observations really. So everythign I post here is basically stuff I happen upon during another brutal 12 hour night shift extravaganza.

I'll email a tech from John Parillo later to inquire about the stretches. Unlike DC, he advocates [I think] 30 seconds worth vs. 1 minute.
