The static isn't as important in DC stretching as the negatives are. Dante made the point that someone could skip the statics if they felt inclined to do so because the only things that mattered are the RP's and negatives...Especially the 8 second negative on the final rep of each "mini" RP set.
Additionally, DC training only calls for only 1 working set before the stretches, hence the additional static to finish off that muscle completely. I'm doing 5 + sets, which in the end will amount to the same intercellular muscle fatigue.
If you wanted to get technical about DC training, back thickness and leg exercises do not include any statics, or RP's for that matter, but the stretches are necessary.
The DC stretches I've incorperated ever since I've done DC training are a total of 1 minute deep, loaded stretches. There's a great description of each in my old DC journal.
