    Middle splits training, how often

    Posted: 19 Jun 2021 09:52 AM PDT

    Hello all. I am training to get my full middle splits. I have finally achieved my front splits on the left side and am super close on the right. I had to cut back training to four days a week (used to get six). I train for middle splits about 45mins each time I train. Would that be enough to be effective? How often should I train? I feel as though I am making little to no progress. My hips are so tight if I don't warm up first.

    A decent flexibility app for the splits. A good starting point for beginners.

    Knee pain in leg stretching

    Posted: 19 Jun 2021 02:48 AM PDT

    Look, maybe I have small monkey brain or something but after finding out about Shaolin Monks, I've been inspired start stretching as it's something I've always neglected. However, the problem comes up when I get into side splits position, I feel a pain in my knee. As if I were to go any further it would snap. The same thing happens with front splits as well. The only leg stretching that I don't really feel any pain in my knees is butterfly (which I'm pretty decent at, not great, decent). I have a theory and this is were your help would come in, and tell me if I have peanut brain or not. My theory is it's my calves. I often feel a stretch in them when I do this, and they are chronically tight. Fortunately, I think I have found out why. It's because of my bed sheets that pull them away, and keep them tight. The problem is I don't know if this is the issue and if it fails (fixing my bed sheets) then I'm kind of out of luck. I could do with any suggestions you might have, and would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

    Hi everyone, this is a gentle stretch and strengthening session.

    Posted: 19 Jun 2021 02:41 AM PDT

    Could somebody please guide me a little? A toe is rigid, can kiss one knee but not the other...

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 11:47 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm a guy who until his 30s had somewhat more than average flexibility likely as a result of years of martial arts training as a teenager.

    Now at 43 and obese I've been trying to get back in shape, started doing some martial arts training by myself, and although there are many things flexibility wise that I have to consistently and patiently work on recovering.

    My biggest concern because I'm worried it might be difficult or require some sort of surgery which I'm willing to work daily for months or years in order to avoid is that my left toe is rigid, I can't lunge forward with my right foot, or perform pushups bare foot, any position that requires the toe to be flexed is out of the question and it can be quite painful...

    The other one is that I can lift my left knee to the center of my chest, hug it and easily kiss it... my right knee on the other hand...as soon as it starts getting close to my chest it starts to move towards my right shoulder and I cannot pull it to my chest I imagine it might be hip flexibility.

    I have no problem for instance squatting with heels planted as long as feet are pointing outwards.

    Any suggestion, I'll be willing to try. Thanks!

    Feeling a large lack of progress

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 07:32 PM PDT

    I'll be very detailed to try and get quality feedback because I'm in need of it!

    For half a year now I've begun weight lifting and stretching (I've had months of prior research, experience and such, so I'm not a beginner mentally, I take studying up very seriously)

    I've seen immense progress in muscle growth as I'm lean bulking but I've seen little flexibility and mobility improvement. I've been doing loaded and static stretching, possibly 3-4 times a week with sessions 30 mins to an hour, and on the off days just smaller sessions if maybe 10 mins. I'll do some additional stretching throughout the day whenever I feel like it outside of my allotted stretching time.

    I also take recovery very seriously which is why I ensure I get lots of rest, and always make sure I feel good for my best workouts and stretches.

    I definitely feel the stretches the way they should feel, and I see slight improvements when I'm in a session of stretching on certain movements, but outside of the sessions I never feel as though I can take advantage of that ROM if that makes sense.

    My main right spots are my hamstrings. and hips, which I focus on a lot but I also do quads, back, shoulders etc.

    I've also gone to physio in the past but it's done minimal to help me.

    I'm just wondering if anyone has some strategies I could take advantage of, maybe more creative ones as I've come across a lot of tips trying to improve this myself.

    Should I try getting massages? Acupuncture? Physio again? Or continue doing my thing for a few more months in hopes of it improving?

    I get that I may seem impatient, just hoping I can get some feedback so I apologize.

    How to measure angles of your body?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 08:33 PM PDT

    How do I measure what angle my legs are in during a split? Or what angle my shoulder opens at when lifting my arm over my head?

    Backstory:
    Measuring angles is a theoretically a great way to have hard data on progress. And it also helps to check which parts are more or less flexible compared to what is average.

    I'm reading "stretching scientifically". It's a great book but it constantly uses angles. E. G. "if your thighs can't reach 120 degrees, your hip flexor needs stretching".

    Any tips are greatly appreciated!

    Which book should I get

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 01:33 PM PDT

    What book would you guys recommend getting for becoming flexible and strong in that range of motion. I know there is stretching scientifically by Thomas Kurz and also stretching and flexibility by Kit Laughlin.

    My current goal is a front split but would eventually like to get the middle and pancake

    The people who do own the book could you give me a review of the book and how they helped you and also if you know any other resource could you write them down

    Thank you in advance,
