My tight hamstrings and inner thighs have been preventing me from achieving certain yoga poses, particularly pancake. I've been working on it for weeks with little progress, but this video has been incredibly helpful. The visual cues with the arrows showing how each muscle should be engaged are exactly what I needed.

So happy to hear that this is helping you! Thank you! Keep stretching and stay focused. You’ll get there

hey, first of all, really great video! For me personally pnf and passive stretching did not work that much. I actually saw significant progress when I started treating my flexibility training like actual strength training. I mainly used the leg adductor machine you have in most gyms and did reps of those trying to open my legs as far as possible and then contracting. I now have the full middle splits after years of unsuccessful training (with not high enough intensity). I think by strengthening the muscles (for me the adductors) in the end range of the middle split our body realizes it is a save position to be in + I don't really need to do a big warm up to get into my splits (I think that is also due to actually having control in the range).

Excellent.

I love dynamic stretches! Long passive ones just leave me feeling really sleepy.

Thanks again, you gave me some advice that I Definitely needed!!🙌🏿😊🧘🏾‍♂️💚🐲

Great video. Pancake was always the most useful progression for me. Even now I still always do pancake before middle splits. I do an oversplit pancake before a middle split oversplit. It has always been the most useful entry for me, with the least amount of injuries. I understand the benefits of PNF, but over the years I've picked up injuries because of it. It's too easy to be aggressive. I prefer other ways of increasing strength in the extended range, including resistance bands, long lunges and Cossacks etc.

@CoachBachmann

Yes, you’re 100% right. One has to be responsible with PNF stretches! And let’s be honest: you can get injured doing pretty much anything if you try hard enough

@TheTimHall

@@CoachBachmann Agreed. I think the one thing that is difficult with PNF is judging the amount of effort required. How much is enough, and how much is too much? Finding that balance is the difference between getting great results with PNF, and having to take a few weeks off to recover from a strain. 😀 But as you say, you can get injured from anything. 😀

Great! New to me: the knees should follow the head/shoulders. My middle-split target has always been to be able to slide into it coming from a straight up standing position, knees pointing forward, torso upright. I am going to guess that your definition leads to a healthier split and I'll try that out.

@CoachBachmann

Ай бұрын

What you aim for is doable. In a way it's what I do at around 12:35 with my Frenchie. Just that my knees are pointing upwards. In order for the knees to point forward you would have to arch your lower back quite a bit. I would not necessarily recommend training for that right away as it adds additional variables into the mix

They’re ASRV. They opened up a store recently in La and I’m really loving their stuff actually! Making pancake progress can be hard especially due to the nature of the position it becomes hard to push yourself. See if you can attach a cable pulley at the gym at the very lowest position. Grab the handle, walk back a bit, sit down and let it pull you forward into a flat pancake. I liked that one a lot for working a long. A wider variety of exercises or more specific training can also help. There are lots of ways to break through. Stay consistent. You got this

So from novice to split, how long, I know varies from person to person, but just an educated guess?

Do you recommend more doing the side split with toes pointing up (like you do) than with toes pointing forward like I saw in many other tutorials?

@CoachBachmann

Ай бұрын

I recommend training with your upper body parallel to the floor (supported on forearms) with the knees pointing in the direction of the head. Inside of the ankles on the floor. Does that make sends? This would be exactly the same as the frog stretch just with locked knees. That is the only way you should really be stretching your middle split

Hey, no. You are not at all the only one experiencing this. It is quite normal that at first nothing is moving. Give it time and try to stay consistent! Focus especially on dynamic stretches. Your hips will open up. I promise!

I have a question. Once you learn and master split, does the ability stay with you (almost) forever, or do the muscles close up quickly if you stop stretching regularly?

@CoachBachmann

Yes and no. It depends a bit on your body type and for how long you’ve had your split. I’ve been working on my flexibility for a long time and I have been fairly flexible for years. My splits won’t go away as long as I stretch lightly for once or twice a week. That being said things would change if I would start running marathons or start squatting/deadlifting very heavy

I hear that a lot but I don’t exactly agree. You’ll be able to apply more pressure with different alignment. More importantly the better you get at the actual middle split stretch the more your ankle get stretched. When I warm up I am more than flat so my ankles would need to stretch extremely far! What do you think?

This is so cool, I don't even know if I should like this video, if everyone knew this, attaining a Middle Split would be hardly impressive anymore, would it? - Just kidding :P But honestly: I have seldom found good instructions for stretching, and this video puts the bar really high...
