    Cannot improve ankle mobility on left ankle

    Posted: 29 Jun 2020 03:00 AM PDT

    Been trying to improve ankle mobility for barbell squatting, but I can't seem to improve my mobility on my left ankle.

    I get a pinching sensation (not painful) in the front of my left ankle when going into dorsiflexion. I've tried banded mobilization but they give a snapping sensation followed by pain in my ankle.

    I don't get the pinching feeling on my right ankle only left.

    I've tried a lot of things but nothing really seems to work, do you have any suggestions?

    Wide Leg Stretches Heard a POP

    Posted: 29 Jun 2020 02:02 AM PDT

    Im asking here because I've heard about popping things for splits and think it may be in that category?

    So between my hamstring and my glutes I feel like it needed to pop or something cause it's been feeling weird.

    When I was doing wide leg stretches leaning forward towards the middle, my dance teacher came and pushed me forward to see how far I could go passively.

    The area on my right leg popped. At first it surprised me I'm not sure if it was pain or just surprise, but now I feel more flexible on that side and it doesn't bother me like before.

    Is this good or bad? Also how can I get my left side to pop safely?

    Stretching just makes my muscles tighter?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 07:21 PM PDT

    I have been working on my middle/box splits. I seem to make good progress, but then my abductors just tighten up and then my progress goes backwards.

    I then rest for a few days until the tightness disappears, but then I've lost my progress and I'm back to square one.

    Does anyone get tight muscles from stretching? How do you work past it to keep improving your splits?

    I've tried using a foam roller which does help, but I'm still quite tight.

    I'm Looking for good tips on learning the splits

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 06:17 PM PDT

    I'm a man who is playing keeper in soccer. I'm ok at flexibility, I can touch my toes but I'm not that flexible. I want to learn to do the front and side splits. How long will it take to learn (I know I won't learn in a week), how much effort do I need to put in, and where can I get good exercises and tools to learn?

    Lower back issue in pigeon

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 04:54 PM PDT

    I've been working on getting back to a king pigeon (ok, even just a better pigeon) after trading yoga for lots of running 4 years ago. Dumb, and I'm feeling it!

    One thing I've noticed is I get a tight feeling in my lower back just above the hip on the back-leg side if I straighten or raise my arms. My hip flexor is definitely tight, and it's preventing me from getting even completely upright, but I know how to work on that. What I'm unsure of is what muscle tightness would cause the low back tension and the best stretches for it. Bridges feel good, I can't test out a wheel though because I'm lacking the shoulder range right now, and a bow is too much on the flexors for now. Would cobras be a good first step for this? Or is it a different set of muscles? Thanks!
