    The lowest I’ve ever gotten in my middle over splits ����

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 08:37 AM PST

    Tried to go the lowest I ever had in my pancake. How does it look? I know my back is rounded, but how is it even possible to be completely flat on the ground without rotating your hips/legs?

    Glute pain

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 09:37 PM PST

    When Doing a Knee-to-Chest stretch I get a really bad stretch pain in my glute/high hamstring area.

    when normally people feel pain in the hip flexors.

    I also get the glute stretch/high hamstring pain when at the bottom of a squat.

    Does anyone know what this could be. ive been trying to rehab for about two weeks and its not healing.

    Would doing flexibility routines during rest days of bodyweight training be okay?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 06:09 PM PST

    I am about to start r/Bodyweightfitness's Recommended Routine (3x a week, every other day) + learn some basic skill work (like handstands, L-sits) and was thinking of doing this sub's Starting to Stretch routine + the toe-touching and splits routines during the rest days (3-4x a week, every other day).

    Is it okay or will it be too much? I'm a beginner but a naturally very flexible, lean and fit person, just trying to improve my flexibility even further and develop enough strength to properly get into calisthenics.

    I am also interested in r/griptraining's beginner routine as well, but felt like this was already too much to consider that.

    Tight traps

    Tight traps

    ​

    A couple of years back I had a pretty severe shoulder injury because I fell shoulder first. I didn't undergo any therapy for it, and since then didn't do much overhead. As a result, my right, previously injured, shoulder didn't perform its function well but really started to rely for any power on my traps. As a result of this, my traps became incredibly tight especially when I tried anything overhead. As I got more into weight training, I had horrible overhead mobility. Just since couple of months I have been doing more flexibility work. My pecs, lats have become a lot more flexible. My tight traps remain an issue though. Whenever I hold my arms overhead (see pic) my traps fire up. The same goes for doing any sort of handstand holds. I tried basic trap stretches, but they don't really seem to do much.

    tldr: traps engage excessively overhead, what should I do?

    Would love some advice on flexibility!

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 09:21 AM PST

    Hey guys - Would love some advice.

    For context, I've been weightlifting for the past 8 years. I'm 28 years old, approx 145 lbs and 5''4. I've gained a bunch of muscle and been able to stay pretty lean. As soon as the pandemic hit, and the gyms closed, I found myself exercising in my basement. Due do lack of heavy weights, I've really been focusing on bodyweight. That being said, I've noticed I've been losing muscle pretty quickly (due to lack of heavy weights). Another thing I've noticed is that after the years of lifting weights, my joints and bones feel very achy and creaky. I didn't notice this as much when I was lifting heavy weights. I'm not sure why.

    However, I guess when I let my muscles rest from the heavy weights for a bunch of months, I have noticed the effects. In order to fix this, I'm looking for full body joint mobility routines to get my joints and body back to normal. When the gyms re-open, I'm going to incorporating this into my weekly routine as I know now how badly lifting heavy weights without stretching messes you up..

    Would love some recommendations on routines like this. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?Thanks!
