- Working on some back flex
- How should I warm up before stretching?
- Pinching in front of shoulder on lat stretching
- Advice wanted!!
- The no gains struggle is real. My routine is usually 2-3 sets @ 40 sec each with a min rest. I’m feeling like I’ve reached my limit and need to find or hit something new in an effort to touch my toes and then the floor. Any help is super welcomed yall.
- Best ways to stretch your back without going upside down?
- Toe touch

| How should I warm up before stretching? Posted: 07 Nov 2020 11:14 AM PST I'm trying to focus mostly on my splits, and maybe back. I'm not completely sure what muscles/areas it uses, though. Advice would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||
| Pinching in front of shoulder on lat stretching Posted: 08 Nov 2020 02:04 AM PST Hi all After years of heavy weighted calisthenics (lots of heavy pull ups) and bouldering, I've unsurprisingly ended up with what I think are incredibly tight lats (and possibly teres major too). Find it quite hard to externally rotate my arms when overhead, when hanging or doing handstand work. They tend to want to internally rotate as compensation and its lead to some separate niggles (v mild impingement). I've been trying a few lat stretches online but I find it incredibly difficult to feel anything in my actual lat. With the butchers block stretch, or childs pose style stretch I tend to just feel a pinching in the front of my shoulder rather than anything lat related. On the side I am doing some myofascial release work with a peanut which seems to be helping... Any advice here ? Particularly around avoiding the pinching sensation (not even sure what it is tbh!)

| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 07:16 AM PST Hi everyone! I do pole dance regularly so I'm working on my flexibility now, however I'm unsure of the best stretches to do to work on my back flexibility. I also find my hips are quite tight, they regularly click and I really struggle to sit in a straddle or hold my legs in that position, any sort of rotation from the hip is a real struggle. Any stretches or advice for either of these would be much appreciated!! [link] [comments] | ||

| Best ways to stretch your back without going upside down? Posted: 07 Nov 2020 06:42 PM PST Hi, let me preface a bit of background info: I'm a ballet dancer that trains regularly with moderate back flexibility. I've gotten my head close to an inch away from my back leg when stretching my back while in the splits ( for an arabesque position ) but that was years ago. Due to certain circumstances I've had to take a 1.5 yr break from ballet and now am training seriously again. I still have a moderate back flexibility but honestly have not tried that back stretch mentioned above. I only mentioned it to preface that I don't have a naturally stiff back. I was curious about different back stretches I could do that are not upside down. I get severe headaches that last several minutes most of the time when I stretch upside down ( in a bridge for example). I don't find enough stretch in a seal position , unless I really push backward which takes a good amount of strength that I can't hold for too long. I've usually found most help with using the ballet barre in the seal stretch ( as in doing the seal stretch by holding onto the barre behind me) and it not only allows me to stretch my shoulders, but it pulls me back farther without crunching my back nor taking as much strength ( I try not to release my back in back stretches as I usually need the strength to slowly come out of it, and I've found that I tend to "twitch" when I activate my back if I've relaxed it in the stretch to come down ). However, due to covid, my ballet studio isn't allowing students to hang out in the studios before or after class. I do have privates so I figure during those privates I could do this back stretch, but I'd like to find a stretch I can do at home with my bi-daily routine. I found this video on instagram that sits well with my headaches and I will try tonight, but wanted to hear all of your inputs. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 04:40 PM PST When trying to touch my toes I can hardly get to my knees, I have tight hamstrings but my lower back stops me from leaning forward. Idk how to explain it but I just can't bend over really because of my lower back [link] [comments] |
