    I'm so pleased with the forward fold progress I've been making. Ive got long arms so have been able to comfortably have flat hands on the floor for a while. But this is a lot lot deeper having my stomach on my thighs!

    Was finally able to touch my nose to my knees in Janushirasana (Standard Sitting Hamstring Stretch) after two months.The posture is still far from perfect, but I'm willing to give it my all!

    Beginners Leg Flexibility Stretcges

    Can manual soft tissue work (e.g foam rolling) be replaced with a percussion massager?

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 03:04 PM PDT

    I've been following Kelly Starrett's deskbound and it's help me completely overhaul my body and that's great but as my training increases (college athelete) the more soft tissue work I have to do.

    With manual approach of lacrosse balls, softballs, foam rollers, it's practically another workout and when I'm already fatigued from two-a-days the quality of this soft tissue work I can muster is questionable.

    Would I be able to replicate these physical instrument based movements with a strong percussion massager? I've never used one before and I'd rather hear someone's opinion on it before I dole out hundreds of dollars for one (recommendations appreciated).

    Excessive Forward Lean on Squats + Tight Hip Flexors

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 10:23 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with an excessive forward lean in their squat or tight hip flexors. My whole life I have had a very tight lower body which has made back squatting impossible. I had alternatively, used a hack squat machine or just stuck to things like leg presses/lunges/bulgarian split squats.

    I did go to a massage therapist who told me that I had a lot of knots in my hip and recommended I look into "opening it up". She emphasized that my hip could be ruined in the future because of my current condition although I'm not sure how much of that is just her wanting me to come back in for more massages.

    Does anyone have a solution to this? I do a 90/90 hip stretch twice a day along with calf, ankle, hamstring, and IT band stretches.

    Also worth mentioning that I spend most of my day sitting -- probably about 9-10 hours these days because of working from home and lockdown.

    Any advice is much appreciated!

    Assist me in determining what's tight

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 12:14 PM PDT

    I'm under the belief that it's either the QL, External Oblique, or Iliopsoas hip flexors.

    I believe the cause is primarily by my sleeping habits. I'm a belly sleeper (working on it), so when I sleep my right leg is crunched outwards and upwards.

    My walking feels off, like my right leg is positioned a little far back when walking. My right external oblique area feels slightly tight up towards my ribs on the right side. I had lower back pain that was immense last year, but now the pain has gone with foam rolling, lacrosse ball abuse, heating and stretching.

    For my pelvis itself, it feels slight elevated on the right side and slightly rotated to the right.

    Any suggestions? I've been to a PT before and they only did very little. I've been to a Chiro as well. Copayments aren't fun and add up quickly with those.

    So far I've done: Lacrosse ball use, foam roller, band assisted stretching, static and dynamic stretching, heat application, ice application, TENS Machine, Limber 11 program, weight assisted stretching, etc.

    Areas hit: Quads, Hamstrings, QL, Spinal Erectors, Glutes, Calf muscles, External Obliques, etc.

    It can be a combination, so maybe I'm also asking for the best stretches. I've tried a bunch.
