    Flexibility: I just want to show someone since I don't know where else to post this. Back in Feb I set my Summer goalz '21 to learn how to do a Frontsplit and take a pic of it during my vacay in the Norwegian mountains. Check! The split isn't perfect but the view is!

    Felt closer than it looked unfortunately �� Thought I'd quickly test where I was after a set of straight leg deadlifts, hips weren't particularly warmed up and I only stayed like this for a few seconds. Getting a little bit closer! �� �� ��

    Flexibility for kicks (mma)

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:05 PM PDT

    I recently got into mma and want to be able to throw kicks. The only problem is that I'm stiff as a board, I'm not flexible at all. Can someone link a follow along video or something for flexibility in mma?

    I can't get my hamstrings to become more flexible

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 11:09 PM PDT

    I've been stretching for my front splits and noticed a huge improvement in my hip flexors. However, no matter how much I stretch my hamstrings, it feels like it's not improving in the slightest which is holding me back from getting my splits (when I go as low as I can in my splits, I feel nothing in my hip flexors/back leg, only in my hamstrings in the front leg). I do deep/low lunges alternating back and forth every few mins to stretch my front and back legs, make sure to keep my hips square and core engaged, and definitely feel a stretch in my hamstrings, but the flexibility is just not improving. What am I doing wrong? What can I do differently?

    Lower back pain from doing back stretches

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 06:15 PM PDT

    I recently started doing back specific stretches, like upward facing dog, cat cow, and back bend variations. I always warm up before doing any stretches. I noticed I would be a little sore the day after doing these, but I figured it was because I just started stretching my back. I only did this for around 4 days, and I have since stopped because when I arch my back (laying down and moving my back upwards a little) I feel some pain right in my lower back. I would say its really in the center where my spine is. It doesnt hurt at all when I walk around or do anything else, only when I arch my back. Should taking a break from stretching it be enough to fix it?

    I want to start getting flexible, need tips

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:21 PM PDT

    Hi, I want to become more flexible, like be able to do splits, backbends, etc. I not not very stiff, but not as much as I would like to be. I would be great if I get how to start my journey, and what to expect in how much time. Also if anyone could give me some routines to follow I will be grateful. Thanks

    Did I tear something?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 04:12 PM PDT

    I have been stretching about 5-6 days a week for around a year now. Every so often I will suddenly feel a very sharp pain in my inner thigh which makes it impossible due to pain to stretch that area at all. I use heat and compression and take a break from stretching for a couple of days before slowly easing back into it, but even when it feels like the problem has been fixed, and no matter how careful I think I am being, the pain always comes back. I am worried that I tore something, but I'm not sure what as it only hurts when I stretch. Has anyone ever had this problem before?

    A trainer I know said yesterday that most people aren't flexible enough to touch their shoulder to their cheek. Is there any truth to that?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 04:15 PM PDT

    Basically what the title says. This person is often reliable but that notion baffled me. "Flexibility" didn't even seem like an accurate word for such a feat. I would think anyone without a neck or shoulder injury could with ease. Maybe this isn't the best place to ask this but I'm assuming a lot of you come from having been very inflexible, lol.

    Edit: I should've said he's a martial arts coach, so he actually deals with a lot of scenarios where thats something a person he's teaching would ideally need to be able to do. But, we were in a disagreement which I felt could have motivated him to stretch the truth or somewhat lie about it.

    Over-stretching for L-sit

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 07:19 AM PDT

    Morning all. Not sure if I should be posting this in BWF and apologies if the answer is in the FAQs (which I've had a look at), but my question is a bit specific. Though if there are already answers to certain parts of my question, then I'd appreciate a link there.

    I'm trying to increase the hold time of my 10 second L sit whilst simultaneously building up the mobility for if and when I want to progress into a v sit. Though I might be overthinking all of this.

    Must I do multiple static stretches that target the same muscles, or is one or two better?

    For example, I would do a standing fold, then with each leg crossed forward. Then a seated fold, followed by the single leg versions. And standing hamstring stretches withone foot elevated. I would also knees to chest and hip flexor stretches. All for about 20-30 seconds, 2/3 times a week before doing my l sit holds. Is this all too much?

    Or is it better to just do one or two stretches for the hamstrings and just get into it?

    Apologies for any incoherency.
