What is THE stretch for you? Posted: 11 Aug 2021 12:50 AM PDT Plough pose just unravels and feels absolutely incredible. I stand up afterwards and I feel like jelly, and slightly high. Barely even a chore to do it at this point! Just wondering if anyone else has a personal favourite? submitted by /u/gotnegear [link] [comments]

Relationship between pelvic floor/core strength and the Splits?! Posted: 11 Aug 2021 01:30 AM PDT Hi everyone! How are you? I was practising front splits for years and was always a few inches off the floor at best. However when I started doing planks, after about 6 weeks my splits suddenly came down to the floor, even with squared hips. When I stopped doing the planks, after a few months I can no longer get down to the floor. I assume it's because the plank strengthened my pelvic floor/core and my body felt safe enough to open through the hips. Is this correct? Would different core exercises other than plank have the same effect? submitted by /u/Teknobejb [link] [comments]

I am not sure how frequent should I stretch Posted: 10 Aug 2021 02:19 PM PDT Hello! I am a 15 year old male and I want to achieve the front splits. I am stretching every day at the evenings (around 11 or 12). I usually do a 20 minute hamstring or front splits routine from Tom Merrick's channel. However I am concerned that it may be to much for me (especially because I am a begginer) and I would be better of with 3-4 sessions a week... I don't know if everyday stretching could affect my flexibility gains.. Any suggestions? Thanks! submitted by /u/B_e_ni [link] [comments]

Banded ankle distraction issue Posted: 10 Aug 2021 01:08 PM PDT I have big issues with both my ankles (dorsiflexion) after a sprain and torn ligaments, which inhibits my mobility a great deal. Banded ankle distraction helps me immensely, but the effect wears off really fast. When I go to the gym (4-7 days a week, focusing on (p)rehab), I typically do a lot of stuff to improve my ankle mobility, followed by a couple of exercises with the new achieved range. The problem however is that my dorsiflexion doesn't improve much other than right after doing the stretches/mobilizations, so I'm kind of back to square one every day. Is this because the distraction improves my mobility by pulling the bone back and it's not caused by something muscular, or is it possible to fix? submitted by /u/Kreki86 [link] [comments]

Training chest without reducing shoulder mobility? Posted: 10 Aug 2021 01:47 PM PDT Hi all I've been training for a long time mostly focused on weighted dips, planche push ups and HSPUs for press. I've developed pretty solid shoulders and triceps but my chest is lacking a little. I've always avoided training chest inorder to reduce tightness in the area and maintain shoulder flexibility for things like skin the cats / back lever work, overhead mobility and just general shoulder health. How would you implement direct chest work in a way that doesn't directly negatively impact shoulder flexibility? Exercises youd avoid or pick over others? Stretches you'd put in after training chest? Ways to reduce the chest Dom's? I get major Dom's anytime I train chest but I've trained long enough so I don't get them in a big way for the rest of my body unless I go really hard. submitted by /u/jjjjjjgggggg12334 [link] [comments]

Split training progress combined with running Posted: 10 Aug 2021 07:09 AM PDT So I've been training for the splits for nearly 3 weeks now. But combined with gym/running, I feel the running is really stopping me from progressing. I recently started again with running, and my inner thighs are very stiff. I feel I'm having a way harder time on my maximum split than before. Should I quit running to better my progress ? submitted by /u/fulltimespy [link] [comments]

shoulder pain after Starting to Stretch Posted: 10 Aug 2021 05:41 AM PDT i tried the starting to stretch routine, and after doing an upper body stretch (where you need to lie down on all fours and extend the arm u want to stretch under u and extend to other arm infront of u), i have intense pain when i stretch my shoulder/arm a certain angle. for reference, i did the harder variation of the stretch. it hurts a lot, can anyone help me? what do i do to make the pain go away? and going to a doctor is not something i can do submitted by /u/hqphobia [link] [comments]
