    middle splits training

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 07:01 AM PDT

    I created an iOS shortcut to read my routine to me and pause between each exercise.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 02:20 AM PDT

    I got this idea watching my girlfriend struggle with her yoga workouts every morning (switching between positions and trying to read what was next on her routine). So I put together a shortcut using the iOS Shortcuts app for her. For those who don't know, Shortcuts is developed by Apple and can be found on App store if it's not already pre-installed. It lets you do a whole bunch of wild automation on your phone. Check r/shortcuts for more.

    The shortcut can read any workout routine line by line. You can also specify how long you want the pause between each workout to be. The one I've created can be downloaded here. It's loaded with the Joint Mobility routine and is preset to 30 seconds between each exercise. You can edit the shortcut and change this to whatever you want. You can also duplicate the shortcut and rename and create different workouts.

    If there's enough interest, I can try and make a new shortcut that lets you specify different times per each workout. I'm not a programmer or a pro at Shortcuts though so can't promise anything!

    overstretching muscles :(

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 12:05 AM PDT

    so i started rhythmic gymnastics last year and ive been working (mainly just stretching) really hard to catch up to everyone else. my only problem is that i am constantly overstretching and pulling muscles, to the the point where it even hurts to do the splits. i have to go back to gymnastics in two weeks and i really want my coach to know i'm committed, but it won't look like that if i've lost all my flexability. any advice?

    Calves limiting lower body flexibility?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 04:10 PM PDT

    hi guys!

    I've been actively stretching and dedicating time to a proper routine for about 3 weeks now, with wanting to achieve middle splits within a year or so as the main goal.

    I was somewhat flexible before i starts the routine, however nothing too crazy. i could just about touch my toes, but couldn't hold it for long.

    The routine is just a 10 minute stretching routine which I found to be the most suitable for my schedule.

    enough of the background information!

    to get to the point, whenever i perform any stretch that involves the hamstrings i always feel my calves instead, almost as if they're a limiting factor. standing or seated toe touches, standing hamstring stretch etc. - all of them seem to just stretch my calves rather than my actual hamstrings. Is this normal? Does this depend on technique, or has anyone else experienced similar issues?

    for reference i'm M19, 6ft1

    If anyone has any tips on achieving middle splits, or just general flexibility advice or tips I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks a lot in advance. This community has been a great help!

    So I have mild scoliosis (very mild)

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 10:09 PM PDT

    So I have mild scoliosis (very mild) and I can't bendover and touch my toes without hunching my upper back, I have very tight hamstring since I tried streching them and it hurt badly. Can anyone suggest or guide me towards a streching routine that will help me move towards touching my toes without hunching my upper back?

    Not capable of properly doing flexibility work?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 05:20 PM PDT

    Does anybody else not feel capable of properly doing flexibility work? My body feels misaligned and inflexible to the point where I don't feel the stretches. I don't feel the targeted muscles are properly engaged and being stretched. For example, if I try to do a standing quad stretch I don't feel the quad active and being stretched; I just feel my knee being squeezed and my lower back tighten. The same goes for most stretches. Is this a common problem? How do I combat this? Thank you

    Lower back rounded during rock climbing, stretches, and sitting.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 11:21 AM PDT

    I'm having a hard time keeping my lower back straight: pic that isn't me but represents my problem.

    Some aspect of my flexibility inhibits me from straightening my back completely when I'm doing stretches or in many climbing positions. When I sit down on my butt on the floor, it is impossible (such as legs in front or butterfly position). When I do touch-your-toes hamstring stretch, my lower back starts rounding basically immediately as I bend forward.

    What is causing this, and what can I do to help fix it?

    Foot improvement = better mobility overall?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:48 PM PDT

    Hi guys! I'm 20 years old and in the last 6 months I've been working hard on mobility since I am stiff as a metal bar. I've been trying to improve my squat and I can comfortably get to a 90 degree angle with squat shoes now.

    Question: Will improving my toes and their mobility help increase my range of motion along my whole lower body?

    Throughout my life, I always wore shoes with lots of heel cushion. Therefore my feet have become really messed up with curled toes and bunions. I'm trying to strengthen my arches and improve my feet in general while still working in full body mobility. I bought some barefoot shoes as well in hopes they help strengthen my feet.

    Any anecdotal/scientific evidence will be appreciated as well as tips
