Cold vs Warm Stretch

[Yan Jing She]

Many topics on PE are based around warming up with a hot bath or rice sock to prepare the ligaments and tunica for stretching. However would this not give the least resistance? Would it not be better to stretch the ligaments and tunica when they don't want to be stretched? I can understand if you get warm before stretching and get cold after stretching while in an elongated state. But if you are getting warm before and not cooling down while elongated it seems like the ligaments/tunica can ease back into their original positions. I've done some preliminary searches on here and haven't found anything about cold stretching. What is everyone's take on this?

Everyone’s take on this would be like 30 other people that have tried this but have not stuck with it. We have not had anyone stick with us long enough to get any good hard data that either is better or worse. If you want to be the guinea pig go for it! I always love anyone who’s willing to try something that may be beneficial to the community

I've never done anything like warm up or warm down when doing PE be it length or girth. I just start my routine slow for the first 5mins and build up on intensity gradually.
