    You know what's insane ? I just finished writing my new year's resolutions. I never do that usually, but I figured I'd give it a try. One of them was : "learn how to do middle splits" and here goes my favorite stretchy guy with the solution for my problem ! Thank you so much !

      Right! Lol!
      But to be fair, the way they tighten as one bends actually restricts how fast you can get into those positions so may be helpful for preventing certain types of shock load injuries to the groin 🤣

    It's crazy that he ripped his pants there, but for anyone who wants to find the end program, it was:
    1. Hamstring Stretch 30s
    2. Butterfly Stretch 30s
    3. Pancake Stretch 30s
    4. Pigeon Stretch 30s
    5. Middle Splits 30s
    Do that 4 days a week for a total of 6 minutes of stretching for each relevant muscle

    You just saved me like a year of pain. I'm a martial artist, and I've been working on my middle splits for about a year now, in which I made maybe 10cm of progress. This video just got me 10cm extra in under 10 minutes. I am amazed.

  • @LisforLily
    @LisforLily 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

    These tips are amazing! I’ve always felt “stuck” with middle splits, even though I’m pretty flexible in other areas (like front splits and pigeon). I had mentally surrendered to the idea that it was impossible for me due to my bone structure and stopped trying. But now, I’m definitely going to give these tips a shot in 2025! Thanks for the inspiration!
    Also, volume warning!! Ripping jeans sounds incoming

    I've dealt with a herniated disc for over 10 uears now. Recently tweaked it again somehow and i was out again for about a month. In the past the excruciating pain lasted longer and i lose weight because I can't get up to eat... But this time, after finding your channel a while back, I am now beginning to love stretching and it's helping with my pain!
    While sitting on a chair with my back straight, I could barely move my leg up in front me. Now i can lift it a decent amount, but far from even holding an L hold. I'll get there soon though, I know it!

    You need to try an all time classic in ballet and rhythmic gymnastics that the MBA students call "The Irena Stretch"😅. It' s a straightened legs external rotation (aka _en dehors_ in ballet), Just sit on the floor and proceed to stretch your harms, belly touches knees buuuuut, hands grab the insteps with forearms twisted, devilishly twisted🙃🥴😵‍💫. You already rotate 90° degrees without raising a brow, you can do it✨.
    Happy 2025 to all the family🖤

    Hey David, happy new year and hope you are doing well and so is your family. Awesome video very informative and eye opening. Can't wait for the ankle flexibility video as I am one of those aforementioned martial artists.
    Anyway, I have a very important question. What time is the best time to stretch? I'm considering doing it first thing in the morning but I'm worried about stretching when I'm 'cold' like that first thing in the morning.
    Do you have a stretch warm up or something? Is it a bad idea to stretch so early?
    Let me know your recommendations/thoughts?
    All the best, really happy to see your channel progresses and grow. If possible you should definitely collaborate with Jujimufu again, it's interesting watching you two work together. It might not be your thing but it'll be interesting to see you lift weights with him or try tricking or anything.

  • @SuperSajayin2Gohan
    @SuperSajayin2Gohan วันที่ผ่านมา

    It's also not really your external rotators that limit your external rotation, because the movement in the split is rather passive and doesn't come close to causing mucle failure, but your internal ones. Otherwise you would need to stretch your quads and abductors instead of hamstrings and adductors.

    I do have one oddly specific challenge where I've noticed a gap between the strength of my legs to hold a middle split and how far my legs can actually flex. To put it simply, I can't hold my lowest split without supporting myself with my hands on a chair or the floor, and I have no idea how to come out of that stretch without falling forward which kinda hurts :v

    Anytime I stretch my legs I'm sore for 2 weeks even if I attempt to do a light stretch in the same week. Then from just walking it takes away my stretch progress. Example, I just did a squat split yesterday where I just squat down and push my knees out with my elbows and hold it. My entire left leg has been killing me all night and day. The thing is, the stretch barely hurt so at the time it didn't even seem like much.
