    300 lbs, 29 year old male, 6'4'', very muscular started stretching a month ago.

    I started stretching a month ago and today I was able to touch my toes on both sides in a forward stretch! I could hold and pull my foot back on both sides for 2 or 3 seconds today for the first time!

    I've said it before guys but I have to say it again; You're only as young as your spine is flexible! Don't neglect your back and spine in your flexibility training. If you have 14 minutes to spare today this quick and easy yoga routine will get you on your way!

    Any tips on how to get my lower back arched more once in full headstand? (probably not, but possible NSFW for some skin/flesh tone leotard)

    Short vs long duration static stretching question

    Posted: 29 Apr 2021 01:18 AM PDT

    I've gotten back into stretching and lately it seems that people in some subreddits think stretching for more than 5-10 seconds at a time (as well as foam rolling) is a waste of time and even detrimental. Is this because of a few studies with negligible results?

    Anecdotally, all of my best flexibility and knot loosening gains have come from holding my stretches for a minute or longer, and foam rolling works for me. I would like to know if these studies are just an excuse for people too lazy to stretch, or if they're the real deal.

    Why do my knees hurt after kneeling?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 08:48 AM PDT

    My knees hurt after squatting („asian" squat) and also kneeling for some time (at yoga for example when you're kind of sitting on your heels). It's usually fine until I get up. Then my ankles also hurt after the kneeling thing. What can I do so that these positions don't hurt anymore?

    Big ambitions no clear direction

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 08:19 AM PDT

    So I'm just starting out with the starter routine, but I really want to be able to do all variations of splits including standing and bridge walk overs. I was wondering if it'd be detrimental to do the starter routine along with the toe/splits challenge and backbend. Would that be too much? Are the challenges made to be done one challenge at a time for the amount of weeks listed before moving on to something else?

    Hope I'm not breaking any rules but I've searched the sub and couldn't find it.

    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    MCL sprain... use to be able to do middle over splits and now I can’t even do frog pose to stretch. Any advise?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 12:53 PM PDT

    I can walk lunge squat and do regular splits but my straddle just isn't the same. :( I don't require surgery but I'm just wondering if anyone educated in recovery can guide me on the best route to take... it's been 1 month since the injury and I do feel 85% healed.. I just want to get back to 100% to be able to do all the things I use to do!

    I went to an ortho and the X-rays & sonogram looked healthy just some scar tissue on the left MCL. They offered physical therapy if I wanted but I declined as they even said it should heal on its own and I have a lot of ROM... so yeah... open to feedback.

    Ankle Flexibility/Mobility help

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:20 PM PDT

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I was wondering if anyone could help me. I suffered a few ankle sprains over the course of my football tenure and it's left me with some imbalances. My right ankle/foot/calf feels tight and doesn't move as freely as the left. As you can see by these pictures, during basic exercises my ankles naturally lie with one ankle plantarflexed and the other dorsiflexed. I'm starting to suffer some re-occuring hip/groin/knee injuries in my right leg, which is the side where the ankle was damaged.

    It also appears that my right foot points inwards naturally and I find that during my Squats/Leg Presses that I tend to roll onto the outside of my right foot while doing the movements.

    I understand this may be a vague question but I was just wondering if anyone could possibly give me a little more insight as to what is going on here and how I could possibly remedy it.

    Need help with a shoulder blade Stretching exercise

    Posted: 28 Apr 2021 07:53 AM PDT

    I read the rules I hope I didn't break any and i didn't find a better Reddit for this Question.

    So I have the following problem. I've recently started doing stretching/flexibility exercises. But I have problems with one of the exercises, and that would be this one https://imgur.com/Bgqvpw6

    I feel like my shoulders are squeezing my neck, and it's getting a little harder to breathe. So I wanted to ask if someone here might have an alternative exercise for the same region I didn't really find mutch on Google but maybe I just did it wrong anyway any help would be mutch appreciated.

    Thanks in Advance
