    Happy Easter r/flexibility - stay bendy!

    Posted: 12 Apr 2020 04:42 AM PDT

    My current lines for cheer, with a bonus photo of my heel stretch three years ago when I first started. Hoping to make these a LOT nicer while we can’t train!

    Major changes in flexibility?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2020 04:58 PM PDT

    In most of the progress pictures on here, the people are already extremely flexible in the before picture.

    Are there any threads where someone went from majorly inflexible to flexible with pictures? I'm having trouble finding them.

    Handball goalkeeper movements - flexibility or strength issue

    Posted: 13 Apr 2020 03:44 AM PDT

    I hope this isn't too specific to ask. I'm looking for tips to improve on specific movements on high and low saves. To keep it very basic: "High" is using hand and foot to cover the corner and "low" pushing with the back leg (knee pointing forward) the leading leg (knee pointing upwards) in the corner. Sometimes the back leg is more angled depending where you look at this motion. Both motions can be very explosive, so I think strength is a factor as well.

    What muscle groups are the most important in each movement and how can I improve them flexibility- and strength-wise (for example on "high" reaching higher with the leg and foot or on "low" keeping the leading leg flat as possible and the back leg extended straight).

    Middle splits? Any suggestions? Any routines you used that can help me? And tips on my form?

    Best way to progress in front splits? (Pics included)

    Posted: 12 Apr 2020 02:15 PM PDT

    Hi everyone. I've been working on my front splits lately but I'm hitting a bit of a dead end.

    Is it better to practice these with my front leg straight? Or is it more beneficial to go deeper but have the front leg bent? Sometimes I can get pretty low but my front leg won't straighten.

    I think my hamstrings are very tight (short?) and it's keeping me from progressing.

    I would appreciate any tips or help with correcting my form. I'm trying to square my hips as I do this. I think I notice my back sinking a bit in these pics? Opinions?

    So sore, do I keep going?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2020 05:45 PM PDT

    Hi all! I have been pretty sedentary at home, so I'm not sure if I'm just sore from lack of movement. I only started stretching two days ago. I've tried multiple times in the past to pike:"/do splits. I haven't really ever been able to touch my toes and I'm a 5'7" girl. 22 yo, I feel like I should be able to and I've wanted to but always end up pulling something. Finally I'm just sore, but I'm wondering if stretching today would be bad? Of course I want to as I've finally found a comfortable way to do it, but I don't wanna get hurt. This is really important to me, any advice would be much appreciated!

    Ahhhhhh tight hamstrings!!

    Posted: 12 Apr 2020 04:32 PM PDT

    Hi bendy friends,

    I am sure I am not the only to ask this but I would appreciate the help!

    I am new on my bendy journey (although I'm somewhat flexible) I recently realized that my hamstrings are soooooooooooooo tight. Like I couldn't come up for a metaphor to describe how tight they are. Anyway, if anyone has tips/recommendations I would really appreciate it because I am at my wits end.

    Thanks!

    Edit: looking for any stretches or routines you've found helpful.

    Stretches not feeling like much anymore?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2020 04:46 PM PDT

    I've been doing splits stretches for the longest I have ever and am so happy, 3 weeks strong! But now I'm at the point where the stretches are starting to feel as if nothing's happening. Is this a good sign or a bad sign?

    Issues with hip flexibility in straight-line movements

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 04:25 PM PDT

    To be frank, there's a very good chance my physical fat is impeding my movement, and I'm working on it. But the two issues I am having right now are as follows:

    Going from plank to getting my foot between my hands for variations of high lunge/warrior. I can do the preliminary nose to knee (ish, they dont reach but my quad can touch my stomach/chest), but from there i have to swing my leg outward and re place my foot between my hands. What in the heck could cause this? Do i need to work on my height between floor and body? It's like my knee-down just.... full block trying to squeeze through.

    Second is getting my butt down for child's pose. I can get my knees pretty wide, like frogs pose, I can outstretch my arms and lower my head for puppy's pose, but my butt just will not sit on my heels for the life of me.

    After writing this out it's beginning to sound like tight quads. Any advice or anecdote would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
