| Posted: 27 Dec 2020 01:43 AM PST Hello! I am fairly new to flexibility and mobility training and over the last 2-3 months I've been working on the ability to rest in a squat. At the beginning, I was barely even able to get into the position, let alone relax in it for an extended period of time. Over the course of my training, I ran into some hiccups with my ankle dorsiflexion but I think I have most of it worked out. I am now able to easily enter the squat position and relax in it for maybe 2-3 minutes with no trouble. Any longer than this though and I start to feel a little bit of pain in my left knee, I'm not sure if it is caused by my technique or just by body not being used to the new strain being place upon it. When I squat I take a stance a little bit wider than shoulder length and I point my toes relatively straight. I was hoping if anyone may know of a possible solution as I would like to be able to squat for 10 consecutive minutes as a mini goal before the 25th of January. I appreciate any and all feedback.

| Learning how to do the middle splits - any tips? Posted: 27 Dec 2020 12:52 AM PST Hi, I've been trying to be able to do the middle splits for a couple of months already with regular training and stretching, however I am incredibly unflexible, which is making it really difficult to make significant improvements. I was wondering if anyone had any tips how to stretch better to be able to get to the middle splits or any YouTube videos maybe. Any answer would be really helpful! Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||

| What is it like to be flexible? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 10:09 PM PST I suppose this question is best for people that are flexible now but weren't always. I consider flexibility the ability to do the splits and beyond personally. What is it like to be flexible? What has changed in your body? What surprised you? What are the biggest benefits? I'm curious for motivational reasons. [link] [comments] | ||
| What makes pike stretching easier than side splits stretching? (or is it not the case?) Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:34 PM PST So, I've been doing PNF stretching for the side splits, and for the hamstrings so I can do pike. I seem to progress a lot faster in getting closer to the pike compared to the side splits. My question is: - Is increasing the flexibility for the side splits inherently harder than increasing the flexibility for the pike? (One guess I can make is side splits seem to have a lot more muscles involved than the pike. Would this be the reason?) "IF the answer is yes", what would be the causes? (is my guess correct?) - "IF the answer to the above is No", meaning they are inherently the same difficulty, would the genetics govern where one might progress faster in the side splits and another in the pike? - "IF the answer to the above is again No", meaning genetics wouldn't make the difference, am I just executing the PNF stretching for the hamstring better than I am doing with the side splits? I mean, in the end, it could be the combination of all of the above (meaning yes to all three and more). Nevertheless, essentially, I just want to know if side splits are inherently harder than pike or not, and if so, for what reason. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 01:58 PM PST Hey, I'm having a lot of free time and would like to improve as much as possible my flexibility. I'm considering doing a 1 hour training everyday and was wondering if it was a good idea or if I should give my body some rest here and there. I was thinking to follow this video: https://youtu.be/aUm3qE2dvB8 On a side note, I'm doing 4 workout trainings a week. Feel free to give any suggestions, cheers. [link] [comments] | ||
| When to stretch and working out Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:54 PM PST I'm new to the forum and stretching and am planning to add in one of the beginner routines (either the 'starting to stretch' or '30 day toe touching challenge'). I'm having a hard time understanding when to add it to my regular workout, which is 3x a week. According to the FAQ I should lift and then stretch to reduce injury risk, but most workouts begin with some warmup. How are these stretches different, and/or is the reason intensity based? Or should I be cutting warmups before my regular workout? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Is it time to consider surgery for my Snapping hip syndrome ? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 05:16 PM PST Male 24, I'm sorry if it's a little bit long but I think all the details are important. It's my little story from 2 years to now. First of all I should mention that in summer of 2018 I had a huge unhealthy weight loss (lack of eating+cardio) I lost 20 kilos and I became underweight. I lost a lot of muscle mass along the way and I started having instabilities. Oh and I've played football (soccer) all my life and kept playing after the weight loss. Back to the topic, so for 2 years I had the External snapping hip (IT band snapping over the greater trochanter) and I had it chronically, like literally every step I take forward with my left leg the tendon snaps aggressively. *Important note: before I had the weight loss I had a habit of using my laptop daily by laying it on my bed (left side) and I'd tilt my body to the left to use it, putting all my weight on my Hip's left side. this habit lasted for 2-3 years [ 2015/16 til 2018 ] So, In 2020 I gained like 3 or 4 kilos and i'm back to a normal weight but barely, but I feel great plus I'm eating so much better. This summer I went to a physiotherapist for 2 months and did leg stretches + trained quads with electric stimulator. BUT the main reason was to heal the Snapping hip. So after some tests, he told me that my gluteus medius muscle is very weak which is making the TFL compensate, therefore snapping over the greater trochanter. So he suggested I do gluteus medius exercises at home and during my visits he will follow up with some IT band stretches. Starting this fall, I had all my symptoms of external snapping hip gone. They even went away completely after the first days of me strenghtening the gluteus medius. Fast forward from september to this week, I started having feelings of Snapping Hip but not from the usual TFL area, but a bit higher, coming from over the ilium bone where the gluteus medius is. So I started doing gluteus medius stretches ( mostly these two right here https://m.imgur.com/a/IT5rXJp ) and I'd do them a few times daily because I felt my gluteus medius was so tight (maybe thats why it was snapping?) Anyway... for the past 3 days, the medius snapping was fading away and now disappeared, but on the other hand 😂... I started developing the External snapping hip again!! and worse than that, it's the same chronic snap all over again. The only difference from when I last had it is that the snap is not as aggressive as before, but still very very annoying and disturbing me each step I do. I don't know what I have to do now, if I go see a physio again, or visit a orthopedist, or do an MRI... I'm lost and I'm fed up at the same time. I am really considering to do a endoscopic surgery to release whatever tendon in that tendon-intersection area around the hip I have a mechanical problem in. Thank you very much for reading! I think I summarized everything I endured. Please leave your suggestions, i'd really appreciate it :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 10:35 AM PST I'm 41, very inflexible and have been told that I'll always struggle with my flexibility. I can't deadlift properly without getting injured or tweaking something and had to quit BJJ because I kept getting injured. I can't get close to touching my toes. Is flexibility a genetic thing? Or is it just a matter of the right things consistently? [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about shoulder extension Posted: 26 Dec 2020 08:16 AM PST I have been doing yoga for a long time! Pre pandemic I would go to a variety of classes; worked at yoga studios! Just adding this to show I have been consistently stretching, also was a dancer for 14 years before this. ANYWAY! I have horrible shoulder extension like clasping hands behind back and lifting away from butt is so hard for me. I can get a few inches and sometimes if I follow some mobility routines I can get it higher. I have looked extensively online for a good routine and can't find anything specific for this issue. Any advice or help? I really want to focus on this in the new year. I fear I have frozen shoulder or something of the like but hoping I just need to stick to a routine. For reference, I have no issue doing back bends or upper body twists, it's just the extension issue. [link] [comments] | ||
