    Help with double pigeon pose

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 03:54 AM PDT

    I am a Brazilian Jiu jitsu practitioner and get very tight hips from training. My general flexibility is good for my age but I find I have a real weak spot when I try double pigeon. I have pretty good hip flexor flexibility, but I think the pigeon poses hit the outer part of the hip, and this is where I'm tight. I have had hip bursitis and I think the tightness is a left over from this injury. I find the double pigeon a bit too intense - so I'm seeking advice on what other stretches/mobility work I can do to help with outer hip tightness and to eventually progress and do double pigeon more comfortably.

    How Jujimufu got his splits

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 10:39 AM PDT

    I'm interested to hear your thoughts on his approach since it seems pretty different than what I'm used to hearing.

    TLDW: For 2 months every night he would spend hours just getting in to the front and side splits, and trying to go further each time. He didn't do any extra stretches, didn't count reps or time his contractions, didn't worry about soreness or overstretching, no lacrosse balls or nerve flossing. And his warm up was doing kicks for about 30 minutes. Started a foot and a half off the ground. After 2 months, took a 2 week break and was able to do a full split when he resumed training.

    Is my posture normal?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:43 PM PDT

    19M (if thats helpful). I am a bit worried that my posture is not normal, and I was thinking that I should schedule with a physical therapist, if it's that serious.

    Tightness in calves only?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 08:53 PM PDT

    So like many people, I've been using quarantine to focus more on my physical health (especially since I've now gone from walking 20k steps a day to like maybe 5k if I'm lucky). Part of my workout routine was to include a daily session of yoga to retrain some of my flexibility back from when I used to dance. While I know yoga isn't the best form of flexibility training, it really helped me get my foot of the ground (lol no pun intended) into stretching and inversions. Now I'm feeling a little more confident in splits training, I've included just regular stretching into my regimen.

    My question is if anyone else faces the same weird problem: inflexibility in the calves instead of the hamstrings. My legs don't feel tensions anywhere but my calves and very occasionally my quads during splits. I'm not sure if it's because my form is wrong or if it's just those places need more love? I've tried foam rolling/massage/strength training (and do these on a consistent basis) and I have ankle mobility. I know calves have come up in the sub before, but I'd love some help! Thanks in advance!

    Hello! I desire to learn the side splits and try often. The problem is that I have very bad knees despite my age, so doing the side splits hurts my knees a lot. Also, squats wear on my knees very quickly, regrettably, as well. What are some alt stretches or exercises?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 01:52 PM PDT

    I've looked all over the sub sidebar and rules, and have only found a thing or two. Would resistance bands help instead of doing squats? Does butterfly sitting help with side splits? Just trying to learn without further injury, thanks in advance....
