As we age till an age(what is it again? 16?) We tend to become faster, stronger, taller, etc. But what is it that makes us grow? And why do stop growing? Why does stretching helps us grow?
There are exercises that I do which is weight lifting through stretching(put weight in arms then stretch by it) It makes me strong as I can then lift weights that I couldn't before. But I don't like plainly lifting weights because it stiffens my muscles up instead of relaxing them.(since relaxed muscles are good for my athlecity in table tennis, being able to move faster, etc.) So what I am wondering is that if both of them makes my arm stronger, what is the difference between them. Ex. pull ups vs. Snatch
