benefit to doing static contraction training in terms of strength and or muscle

 What hold times are recommended for best results?
 
 Is the fully contracted position the best position to do static contractions?
 
 Should you do them in your "strongest range" because conventional training 
does not challenge your strongest range - unless you already to heavy partials?
 
 What is the ROM carryover?
