Doing 3 sets 1-2x per week and then checking in on your side splits afterwards for 90 seconds should be more than enough if you’re working at a high enough intensity. Treat it the same as you would a heavy lift🙌🏼
if i cant hold my whole bodyweight at my end range, should i try holding my bodyweight at a higher split position, or should i hold as much weight as i currently can at my end range by putting less pressure on my support, or should i do something different entirely (like an easier progression or something)?

Your channel, which I only just now discovered, has already helped me a lot, especially your horse stance tutorial and this one, but I am still not sure how to conquer the last ~4" of front and side splits. I can do the full pancake stretch, even with 2.5" blocks under my heels, and that is how I start most strength sessions and all mobility sessions, and I especially like your argument that mobility work should be a form of strength training. Anyway, I see that below you recommend 1 or 2 sessions per week in the sagittal plane of motion and 1 or 2 in the frontal plane, - on different days, I guess, but isn't some lighter stretching pretty much every morning a good idea too? Whatever I add to my morning stretch routine is what I end up making progress with - that's what has worked for me so far. With other stuff I go nowhere!
Stretching daily at a low intensity isn’t necessarily “bad”. But for most people it’s not that effective, as you need to work at a high enough intensity to stimulate tissue adaptation. And if you’re working at that level of intensity, you should need a little bit of recovery time before you introduce the stimulus again. That said, if you do 1-2 high intensity flexibility sessions, with some light low-intensity stretching in between, that can work well too. My philosophy is intensity > frequency🙌🏼
@@Flexibility.Maestro Frequent low-intensity stretching has worked for me so far, and even got me the pancake, but with the splits I do seem to have reached a plateau, so I am going to give your approach a try and see what happens. Thanks for the reply, and for your many excellent videos!
I practice a static stretching for 1h a day but when i restart my stretching the day after, i feel more blocked by the pain of the day before Is that normal ? or im wrong something ?

I have just started following his recommendations. But I must say, of all the people here on the Internet, he makes most sense!
I really appreciate that! I know there’s a lot of conflicting info about flexibility on the internet these days😅
A verry enjoy time to see your educational video
Thanks❤
you are great teacher!
Thank you! 😃 means a lot!
Grazie maestro
How often would you recomed this exercise? Once , twice or thrice a week? Thanks coach 👍

@@Flexibility.Maestro thanks coach 👍
@@stephenjohnmcgeoch My pleasure!
@@Flexibility.Maestro Would I get faster results if I do this routine every day (one rest day)?
How do you typically deal with soreness after exercises like this? Rest? Light stretching? Something else? Thx
gna try it
Hope it helps!

How many times per week??

Hi, do you recommend holding a weight to get stronger at the end range during the holds isometrics? I am a beginner and just started .
If you’re a beginner, then definitely not. Even just your bodyweight alone will be challenging enough in your end ranges. Start there👍🏼
Thank you coach. Really
Appreciate ur reply. Will keep being consistent doing it.

Start treating your flexibility training like weight lifting. Leave yourself some time to recover in between sessions!🙌🏼
