Jack,

I agree that muscle tissue doesn't have elastic properties like a rubber band, but I have often used the term stretch and fire. Let me ask you a question about this. The muscles don't have the rubber band effect but can't they stretch and contract creating a feeling of stretch and fire?

I look forward to your answer.
