When performing a static stretch, you should feel a gentle pull or mild discomfort in the muscle being stretched, but it shouldn't be painful. The goal is to elongate the muscle and improve flexibility, so it's important to breathe deeply and relax into the stretch. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, ensuring that you maintain proper form to avoid injury. If you experience sharp pain, you should ease off the stretch immediately.
