      Not a stretch. Sets of 10 is muscle development work.

        at 40% i consider it a strech to avoid lower back injury
        if its 70-75% ok muscle developpement
        but anyway any exercice ends up in muscle developpement
        its great to keep and open mind and learn new support exercices …thans you all things gym

        Rep ranges have nothing to do with what defines a stretch and what defines ‘muscle development work’. What separates weighted stretching and strength work is the weight being used and the range of motion.

    In Asia, there are very different ideas about rounded back lifting from the Western world.

    Lumbar flexion is an absolute no-no in the West, but an acceptable compromise in the East given the right situation and purpose.

    I think they have their reasons, but I would still be **** scared to lift anything with a rounded back.

    I would really like to use this range of motion with a heavy resistance
    because this range looks safe enough. BUT you had better have a reserve
    somewhat greater than this.
