| How to achieve active oversplits? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 09:47 AM PDT Should I work more on my oversplits to achieve this level of flexibility? She's a rhythmic gymnast, so she might've been stretching since she was a kid. Is it possible to achieve this level of flexibility as an adult? Can anyone achieve this? Does one's hip anatomy play any role in achieving the oversplit? Which muscles should I stretch more to do this? Please see the image using the below link if you can't view the image in full.

| A question on hamstrings and psoas flexibility in anterior pelvic tilt. Posted: 26 Oct 2020 12:19 PM PDT Me: age 30, very sedentary lifestyle, was even inflexible as a child (I have a clear memory of trying to touch my toes in 5th grade and not being able to get my fingertips past my knees), have had upper and lower cross syndrome for as long as I can remember. Previously doing random beginner yoga inconsistently with zero progress until I found my way here. Goals: my main flexibility goals involve opening my hips. I want to forward fold while sitting with my legs straight out in front of me (L-sit?), I want to forward fold while sitting with my legs wide (straddle pose I think) and to be able to sit in that pose with my hips wider than 90 degrees. I want to sit comfortably upright in cross legged position. I want to get my heels down in downward dog. Current issue: my back always rounds, dramatically so, in each of those poses. When the yoga teacher tells you to lean forward in straddle pose I literally cannot do it. Question: because I have anterior pelvic tilt, I've heard that I should avoid stretching my hamstrings because they're already overly lengthened and weakened by my pelvis position. I read that I should ignore the hamstrings and focus on stretching the psoas instead, which is kind of against the recommended beginner routine posted here. When I try to do my goal poses above, I feel the pulling in my hamstrings and especially almost painful in the insides of my thighs just above my knee joint. Should I avoid all hamstring stretches and focus on the psoas, or am I understanding this incorrectly? Can I strengthen the hamstrings at the same time, or is their lengthened position more prone to injury? Also when will I know to reintroduce hamstring stretches? [link] [comments] | ||
| Do you expierence soreness after stretching, a soreness similar to muscle pain? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 07:00 PM PDT Working on my pike flexibility, trying to get my hands flat on the ground with my legs straight. I usually stretch before and after my workout, and use an exercise bike for my warmup and cool down, so I would think my legs are warmed up for stretching. I have a pain similar to muscle soreness in my hamstrings, even though I didn't do any exercises for my legs besides the stretches. Is the soreness a result of the stretches? If is from the stretches, does this mean i've stretched too far or over done it? [link] [comments] | ||
| Mysterious TEARING calf pain when stretching Posted: 26 Oct 2020 02:17 PM PDT I'm new to stretching, and I have a horrible pain in my left calf. I haven't been able to figure out what it is. If I lift my leg off the ground, I can move my ankle on any direction, fully, with zero calf pain. However, if I sit down with my left foot extended, and try to touch my toes, I get this horrible burning pain. It feels like my calf muscle is being ripped in various places. Like sharp needles. It feels like the hair on my leg is being pulled hard. I find it strange that this pain only occurs when doing certain stretches. Anyone know what this could be? It has been this way for 4 days now.

| Article claims stretching is not useful or helpful. Posted: 26 Oct 2020 02:26 PM PDT https://vitals.lifehacker.com/the-truth-about-stretching-when-it-helps-and-when-it-d-1718270464 Does anyone have any responses or comments again these claims? The author suggests that there is no evidence that stretching helps with muscle soreness or to lengthen muscles. [link] [comments] |
