Meridian Stretching, Meridian Flexibility, The Meridian Flexibility System, Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training - a lot of different names, one revolutionary concept: RESISTANCE.
What Bob discovered was that to truly stretch a muscle, you must CONTRACT the muscle throughout the entire range. What this method does is COMBINE strength training and flexibility training. To strength train a muscle or "Resistance Strength Training (RST)" you start where the muscle is as long as possible, contract the muscle and take it to where it is as short as possible. BUT, to stretch or "Resistance Flexibility Train (RFT)" this muscle you would do the opposite. Start where the muscle is as short as possible and contract the muscle while you take it to where it is as long as possible. The trick here is that it takes TWICE as much force to stretch the muscle as to strengthen the muscle. So if you can do a bicep curl with 50 pounds, then it would actually take 100 pounds to stretch the bicep!
