I believe this is what ben pakulski has started implementing with his newest version of his M140 training, I recall seeing him do this technique with incline curls.

One of main things that I always use from Dante whether I'm training his way or not. The stretching works.

I also first learned of it from dc training.

Definitely remember Dante advocating this before anyone else that I saw at least... even referencing the bird wing studies

Yup, learned it from Dante. If I remember right Vince Gironda was a proponent of this as well

Yup, I love his stretches, I find this new info interesting. And a different take on it incorporating drop sets between stretches.

As others have indicated Dante may not have been the first to use "extreme" stretches; however he did popularize them. Additionally, his views came from a more scientific basis (the bird study with weighted stretches) that has actually been supported in humans with a recent study:

the trainers advocating extreme stretching years ago did not have any human studies to back up their theories as none had been done at that time. all they had was their own personnel experiences with it. first you have a theory then the study. then other smart people will use what has been shown to works.
