    Bad pike because of weak hip flexors?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 08:21 PM PDT

    I've been stretching for about 6 months and I was seeing progress at first but now I've been stalling for a couple of months. I feel like my hip flexors are too weak to bring me into a proper pike position. I can touch my toes in standing pike but I can only briefly touch my palms on the floor, I can't hold the position, I can just bounce in and out of it.

    The same happens for the pancake, I can barely sit straight up, my hips are too weak to bring me into an anterior pelvis tilt.

    Do you have exercises that could help with this?

    Thanks!

    Why do we lean forward in side spilt? I notice my inner thigh muscles stretch when I lean forward in a side split, is it normal?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 02:56 PM PDT

    So the side split is used to stretch the Hip Adductor muscles ( right? ) and a lot of these Adductor muscles also perform thigh flexion.

    So when we lean forward aren't we going into hip flexion? But the Hip Adductor muscles perform the function of Flexion, so shouldn't we just keep the hip in extension?

    Is thigh flexion any different from Hip flexion? My understanding of Hip Flexion is decreasing the vertical distance between Knees and Chest.

    So the 2 ways to perform Hip Flexion should be :

    1.] Raising the Thighs in front. 2.] Leaning forward basically going in a bent over row position or performing a Romanian Deadlift.

    Is my idea of hip flexion correct? Is thigh flexion and Hip flexion the same thing? Or is thigh flexion the first case and Pelvis flexion ( I don't know if such a term even exists but think of it as performing a Romanian Deadlift ) the second and both of these are Hip Flexion?

    I am kind of confused, if someone could help Me with a little anatomy class then it would be great!

    My apologies if I asked something stupid ( I am beginner at Flexibility and Anatomy ).

    Help on two specific stretching exercises

    Help on two specific stretching exercises

    Hi everyone,

    I started calisthenics a while ago and I included stretching in my training (about 2 weeks ago) to eventually be able to perform a L-sit. I realized I had a hard time keeping the L-sit position just sitting on the floor with my legs still (standing straight in this position is a struggle).

    While I have seen great progress performing some particular stretches, I felt uneasy and weird sensations during two particular exercises: the stride stance good morning (with the front leg straight) and touching toes while standing (I am not completely sure for the names so I dropped the pictures below):

    Stride stance good morning

    Touching toes

    On those two exercises specifically I just do not feel the stretch in my hamstrings. Rather, I feel some kind of tightness or compression around my tibia (or within this part of the leg) which is hard to describe accurately. This does not really feel right and not anything like when I am stretching my calves specifically (which works perfectly well when I do) or hamstrings using exercises like a standing hamstring stretch with one leg resting on a desk or table .

    Also, I have noticed on the second exercise (touching the toes from a standing position) that slightly bending the knees completely change the feeling of the exercise. When I do it, I feel a normal stretching in my hamstring, the same kind of stretch I feel when I do the standing hamstring stretch with one leg. I have a similar trend when I am sitting and trying to reach my toes with my hands, if I slightly bend the knees, I can suddenly feel the stretch in my hamstring and the movement feels way more natural.

    Has anyone here ever felt the kind of tightness I got on those exercises ? Is that just a normal part of the progression? I was concerned because while I made good progress on other stretches, those two remained quite uncomfortable.

    Thank you in advance for you help <3

    How much of flexibility is mental vs physical? (weird scenario question)

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 07:14 AM PDT

    Say it were possible to surgically access my hip flexors or back muscles and directly massage or stretch the actual muscle and connective tissue. Would I come out of this imaginary surgery more flexible or would I still need to dedicate time to retraining my brain and nerves to allow me to actually stretch to that extent?

    Any favourite handstand routines? (Intermediate)

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 02:25 AM PDT

    I am at intermediate flexibility. I have tried a bunch of routines over the past two years, and improved, but not quite there yet.

    For middle splits, I am following Coach Bachmann's routine and it is working really great. I think it's because it has an excellent warmup part in the beginning. I'm looking for a similar routine for my handstands too. Right now, I can do a regular headstand and a tripod headstand, and can hold a forearm stand not so easily.

    If you guys can share a good routine to try out, it would be really really helpful. Thank you!
