    How to Improve BACK FLEXIBILITY!

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 06:35 PM PST

    Secret to good health to certain extent is good sleep. A lot goes into it. Good part is some specific Yoga poses are very beneficial as well.

    Handstand immobility help

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 11:02 PM PST

    I'm currently trying to target which muscles of mine are preventing me from achieving my handstand and I need some help. My left leg seems to be my dominant leg, and I haven't tried these poses in years. When I try to start with my right leg, my handstand is nearly impossible. When resting, my left hip is constantly in pain and my left SI joint feels like it's sitting out of socket. I see a chiropractor and massage therapist occasionally, but can't target the root issue.

    I added a comparison list for each side:

    Starting Handstand with Left leg: - I can naturally swing down into the handstand without any muscles tightening - My legs can go all the way up

    Starting Handstand with Right leg: - can barely lean down, feels locked in the abdomen area also - my right (front) thigh tenses up and my right (front) hip locks - my legs can only swing up about 2 feet off the ground

    Any advice on what to stretch or changes in my approach, etc are welcome. Thank you in advance!!

    TDLR: I can do a handstand starting with my left leg, but I lock up when I try to start with my right leg.

    Looking for "remedial" hip training

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 06:02 PM PST

    So my hips have been very stiff for many years. I had FAI surgery on my left hip in 2016, it did not reduce the pain in my hip. I have very limited internal rotation on either side, and I cannot squat close to parallel without turning my feet extremely far outwards. I've tried several programs like GoWOD and The Ready State, each for several months at a time, with no improvement.

    My question is, can someone recommend some extremely remedial or basic videos? How can I scale many of the movements I see in these videos to match my current abilities? For example, I see many videos with the 90/90 stretch. Problem is, with my left leg back, I am literally pushing myself up with my right arm. I cannot hold my body upright on its own. Another is the frog stretch. I cannot go very wide, and I can barely make it to my knees without feeling the pinch in my outer hips. Most of the videos I see do not offer remedial or beginner versions for the poses.

    I've read about Antranik's hip program and GMB Mobility, both seem kind of expensive for what they are. I'm open for suggestions, as I've resolved myself to improving my hip mobility this year.

    Is it normal for this to happen?

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 10:35 AM PST

    Disclaimer: I'm not trying to ask for any medical advice, just getting some insight.

    2 weeks ago I had gotten my front splits for the first time, but after it by a few days, my right hamstring feeling a bit painful (different than usual DOMS) in the upper region. I took a short break and slowly returned to stretching my splits, but that little pain is still there in the same place. Is this normal? Did I pull my hamstring? I didn't feel anything unusual when I got my splits, and I still have my flexibility from before this pain. I'm just asking to see what I should do before I make this worse. Thanks for reading!

    i felt unnecessary anger against myself bc i can't even flex to a beginner video.

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 11:32 AM PST

    hi there! i have been doing calisthenics for quite some time and i decided to add flexing to the equation. i came to this sub, found u/tykato's starting to stretch video for beginners and read some stuff - all set to go.

    on monday, after my regular workout, i opened the STS video aaand... it hit me like a truck: i was WAAAYY less flexible than i thought. i could barely do the holds in the video for what 5 seconds, let alone completing the whole movements. i was literally like " F*** that must be a joke OH MYYYY" in exhaustion and usual pain - both mental and physical.

    i was frustrated. i stopped 5 minutes in and told myself "calm down, you'll try (harder) next exercise."

    fast forward to today, i opened the video again and tried, but result was the same. i was frustrated, punching the air out of anger. then i saw tom merrick's 15 min beginner flex routine, opened it and it was also quite hard but i was a bit more successful - not too much tho. while the movements were easier, overall i couldn't stand them much either.

    please don't get me wrong. i'm not ranting here because videos are bad - no they are absolutely fine, quality videos by tykato and tom and i'm glad they exist. no i'm not ranting because i can't do 180 degree splits after 2 days of unsuccessful flexing. i'm ranting, because my body is stiff as a stone.

    i'm trying to walk but lemme tell ya, i can't even crawl... even the "easier" movements were a pain for me. is there a way, a method to progress from the easiest movements, even easier than the aforementioned beginner videos? or the only way is to do as much as i can with those beginner videos? honestly they are like expert videos to me rn...

    sorry if i bored you.

    Begginer issues with "Starting to stretch"

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 01:45 PM PST

    Hey everyone, sorry if some of these questions were asked before. I did some digging but I couldn't find proper answers for them. Perhaps english not being my main language had something to do with this.

    • Rear Hand Clasp: While "pulling" using the top hand, I experienced quite some pain in the triceps (which were doing the pull). Is this normal or should I replace this one?
    • Lying Cross : In the video he says this is mainly a "chest stretch" but I can't really feel anything there. The only region stretching seem to be at the side of my ribs. I'm probably doing this incorrectly but I couldn't find answers to this or really any other material explaining the stretch since "Lying Cross" actually references another tipe of dumbbell excercise/ low region stretch. I would really appreciate some tips or some other more in detail video!
    • Pancake: This actually made me quit today (won't stop me from giving it another go tomorrow though!). I can't really separate my legs too much and it's imposible for me to sit at 90° with open (or closed) legs (L shape from the side). I had the exactly oppossite issue while researching how to improve the Pancake... Tons of information. I'm a trully begginner/inflexible person at the moment, is there a "pancake for the inflexibles" proggression I can follow? Even the begginer pancake from this video was too much for me lol.

    Thanks in advance!.
