    I have practiced forward fold on blocks a lot, thought it would be interesting to see how far behind my feet I could get flat palms (without putting weight on my hands)

    Hello, just wanted to know if my hips are square. I heard people saying about observating my butt cheeks which i still dont actually know how to do. Pulling my rear inwards and try making my pinky toe touch the ground, but i can only get the fourth toe to the ground.

    How long do you guys hold your static stretches in order to progress from stiff to being able to do the splits ?

    Hamstring tear

    Posted: 30 Apr 2021 12:26 AM PDT

    During the pancake stretch, ( I was almost flat to the floor with my chest), I suddenly heard a pop and basically....tore my upper hammy on my left leg. Since then I haven't really had any pain in doing anything, but I haven't been able to the my splits stretches on my left leg and even the straddle on floor hurts. Like a localised sharp yet dull pain.

    It's been 3+ weeks.

    What should I do now to let the muscle completely heal?

    Can I do lunges, squats, sumo squats, glute bridges? Because I do other forms of workouts as well.

    When should I stretch the muscle?

    Thank you. :)

    When people train for front splits do you train both left and right leg forward at the same time or only one at a time?

    Hope this makes sense. I'm wondering if normally you would train doing the front splits with for example your left leg forward and only start doing it with your right leg forward after you've mastered the left leg or vice versa, or would you practice doing both legs in tandem?

    L-sits are a great way to stretch and increase flexibility in the hamstrings because they strengthen your hip flexors and core muscles to increase compression strength. These are some of my favourite progressions.

    Someone help

    Hey guys. I wanna talk about something that has been bugging me for years. Im generally quite a flexible person, Im young and ive always done some kind of sport or exercise and I have decent middle and front splits. Theres one aspect of flexibility however that ive always neglected, due to how ive seen no progress at all when training it and also how I feel I have wayyyyy below average flexibility.

    Well, this issue is ankle dorsiflexion. I dont have tight calves, as I said I have pretty good flexibility, specially hamstrings and back leg and my calves never feel as a limiting factor, however I have extremely short range of motion in dorsiflexion, which is caused by the front of the ankle. I just feel as if theres no way the ankle is gonna move forward and I feel discomfort in the front of the ankle (as I said, never in the back).

    This doesnt seem to be an issue for most people, the most common issue about this is poor squat in the deeper range of motion. Since your knees cant travel forward cause your ankle just wont glide forward, your centre of mass goes to the back of your body and causes you either to fall back or to not feel stable or comfortable at all. It also makes you curve your back in order to compensate and distrute the weight forward. You can tell this is your issue if you get some powerlifting shoes and suddenly squatting feels extremely better and natural.

    Whenever ive tried to research into this people say its about the join of your ankle not gliding forward properly, and recommend banded exercises, however ive never see progress with this exercises, yeah i feel a bit of a burn in the front area of the ankle, but dont feel any progress. Ive also tried long deep squats holds, but I also never see much progress, since my ankles get to the point where I can find balance in a deep squat but dont get forced forward enough to gain range of motion.

    So yeah my question goes, does anyone have ACTUAL EXPERIENCE himself with this issue and how to deal with it?
