Good discussion guys. Your right Chris, in my head I had this visual of ego training with shorter ROM totally. My bad to make assumptions. I do agree that there is no one sized fits all system of training, that each program really needs to be individualized, and there is a place for everything, including shorter rom. I just dont think it should by any means be the whole focus.

I also agree that ego training with Higher ROM is even MORE dangerous.

I have this book on stretching that I need to dust off, I nearly memorized it years ago when I was a martial arts instructor, but I admit I have since forgotten all the details but only retained the concepts. In there, I could have sworn it went over the whole biomechanics of the nervous system "memory" involved in stretching. meaning, while exercising will increase flexibility from nothing if thats what you started with, training the shorter movements over time will be ultimately restricting its potential.

Im studying for my nutrition and wellness certification exam right now so my mind is totally on other things, but I will dig up that book when I have time to validate my thoughts on that, its called stretching scientifically if anyone wants to read it, I remember really enjoying it.
