Hey quick. I hope you get better soon.

I'm going to take a stab at your question. First, I beleive you are asking where should you focus the most pressure.

I say both places. As you know, I am a big advocator of moving up in intensity as time goes on. Keeping that in mind, I would gradually move up in pressure (in both spots, equally), as you gain.

That said, you definitely want to have a pull at the fulcrum. If you just slightly pull, then the pressure won't be as beneficial as you want it to be. So, pull up with a tense force, also stretch downward with your average grip.

You say that you really like these stretches. How much pressure are you using?

Rate it: 1 being almost no intensity (0 being absolutely none), and 10 being as hard as you can pull.
