Why is everyone doing this?

Loaded Stretching is the most popular flexibility training method today. You'll literally find it in every fitness influencer's account. However, very few people realize how it works and why there seems to be an obsession with this method.

While many different versions of Loaded Stretching exist, only one has become popular today. This version has a unique objective that separates it from the rest; however, the same reason makes this method terribly ineffective for advanced flexibility gains. I recently did a longer video explaining why in detail!

I remember a kinesiologist telling me someone can increase flexibility by doing chest presses because their bodies are not used to being stretched that way and they adjust to that new flexibility. When I heard about this new way of stretching it made sense to me. So I am a bit skeptical in what you are saying. But I do agree, there are it's limits in how heavy one should go. Doing 4 sets verses 1 can make the difference between being sore or not. A gradual increase in weight, sets, reps, etc would make sense but I guess part of what you are saying is that your time is better off doing something else.more efficient.

It's not great for flexibility gains, but it is better for strength and mobility
