| Why is exhaling so important when doing stretches? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:04 AM PST My physio said to me at my last session "be sure not to neglect the exhale when stretching, it is one of the most important things and biggest mistakes people make, everyone focuses on the inhale but forgets about the importance of the exhale" Unfortunately the session ended and he didn't get time to explain why to me. Can anyone explain why here? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||

| Splits training and heavy lifting. Posted: 01 Jan 2021 12:45 AM PST Have any of you ever combined these? I'm trying to get my frontsplit and side split while also still lifting very heavy. (I still want to grow a fair bit of muscle and I'm known to train legs very hard). I now train legs twice a week and after my lifting I walk a bit, get some foam rolling done and then start stretching to get into the splits. I train two types of split each time, either frontsplit left leg right leg, front split left leg side split or front split right leg side split. I go into the split as deep as I can for 1 minute and repeat that 3 times and then I do one holding it as deep as I can for 2 minutes. Anything I should change about my routine or tips I could use? I also do regular mobility work with the GOWOD app. [link] [comments] | ||
| when your mate who never stretches in his life... Posted: 31 Dec 2020 12:16 PM PST can accidentally go into a deeper side split than you, and intentionally go into a deeper split than you and I mean, he's like 2 inches from the floor. then theres me, who stretches nearly every day, uses weights for loaded mobility, does pnf etc, and nope, cant get down to his level join me in saying BAH !

| How to not crunch spine during backbends? Posted: 31 Dec 2020 12:09 PM PST Hey all, I've been working on stretching my back out for better backbends, but I want to be really careful not to crunch my spine, like instead to stretch upwards and over? When doing the cobra style stretch, my spine always feels like it's being pushed together and crunched. I also tend to get pain in my lower back when doing that. Am I doing it wrong? Really want to stay safe with good form, any tips appreciated!! thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 08:20 AM PST Hi! I recently discovered this page and wanted to see if there's anyone who suffers from coxa valga (a condition in which the angle that the femur connects to the pelvis is beyond 135 degrees, causing outer rotation of the hips). I was diagnosed when I was a child. Front splits were never a problem for me; in fact, I was able to pretty easily get over splits. But my middle splits have been a BIG source of pain and struggle for me. I can sit in a regular straddle position (legs apart on the floor) and lean forward just fine, but the moment I try a pancake stretch, it feels like the world is ending. It's like the bones in my hips are grinding on each other. Also, I've never been able to fully reach a 180 degree middle split. The furthest I've gotten is maybe 165 degrees. Close, but not quite there. It's so irritating. With coxa valga, you're supposed to have more range of motion in your hips than the average person, so why can't I get my middle split all the way? I've been trying for a decade now. I'm not asking for medical advice or anything (already seen multiple doctors, they haven't helped at all), I just was wondering if anyone else who has coxa valga, has a close friend or family member with the condition, etc. has had similar experiences? If so, what kind of stretches have you used to substitute? Have you ever been able to fully achieve your middle split (180 degrees)? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 05:09 AM PST Hi all, I sprained an ankle some months ago and it has since come good. However, I had a lot of tightness on that side and couldn't get my knee close to the wall in the knee-to-wall ankle mobility test. I did improve this to a certain degree and felt a great stretch in my achilles. However, I got to a point where I couldn't stretch my achilles more but my foot was still nowhere near the good side in the mobility test. It feels like the ankle is 'stuck' 'anteriorly' and I no longer feel a stretch at the back, moreso a tightness at the front. Does anyone have tips on overcoming this? [link] [comments] |
