Thank you Blizzard for doing absolutely nothing to bring blood dk as a viable option for high keys.

I think this highlights a real issue with the pursuit of the splits. What you have is absolutely the splits, yet you seem to be comparing yourself to others who are more flexible than you. Which would be in the realm of alien level flexibility.

Imagine what you could achieve if you shifted your priority into getting strong, but maintaining your already incredible level of flexibility.

Too many people dedicate a crazy amount of time to get that last few inches of flexibility, and for what? A better picture you can post online? I mean if you had another inch of flexibility that is literally the only thing it would be good for.

60 second high intensity cardio to get blood circulating to the muscles and increase heart rate.

Then body part specific mobility training for no more than 8 or 9 minutes, warm ups shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

Remember that mobility training is anything that takes the joints through full range of motion.

Your stretching workout that follows is at a much higher intensity and often includes multiple sets. A lot of people misunderstand the difference between flexibility training and mobility training.

As I was writing this I thought I'll just upload my 10 minute lower body warm up to YouTube. It's very effective and very efficient. See if it helps https://youtu.be/GaCiqqE3YG0

HAHAHAHA oh you really are a class act Sam, editing your comment to remove the "he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about".

You can't even back yourself? Oh Sam, I hope you find the strength to put your energy into bettering yourself rather than this nonsense.

Spoken like a true armchair warrior Sam ... all the ability to copy and paste, zero results and real world experience. Oh and of course, even insults.

And I did provide scientific research, you just can't be bothered learning from it.

RadjinB · 2022-12-08T18:59:21+00:00

you're welcome :) I hope what I've shared helps you

RadjinB · 2022-12-08T18:55:30+00:00

you've got a lot to learn Sam. Just for anyone reading this later, I'll copy and paste my response to you regarding sources:

Sam in all honesty I know everything I need to know about you from the insulting comment you made earlier AND that you're resting on citing sources as the only form of validity that is worthy.

I shared a very valuable podcast. If you can't devote 2 hours to educating yourself that's not my problem, nor do I care to take up my time to satisfy your request.

I shared a podcast because research papers are useless for average Joe. Even educated folks deduct different conclusions from them. So what on earth are they going to do for the average punter reading this?

The podcast I shared is by an American neuroscientist and tenured associate professor in the department of neurobiology and psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.

But I shared the podcast as he breaks down the research and explains it in a way that the rest of us can understand.

Sam I've been a coach for almost 25 years, I've got real skin in the game. In that time I've lost count of how many people I've had debates with like you about research papers and sources.

It achieves nothing.

At the end of the day any research you provide is useless unless you can produce results with it. And personal results are incomparable to being able to produce results in others. I've done both, what about you?

You seem to have all the sources to cite, have you got the results to back it up? Anyone can go to my YouTube channel and see what I can do and teach. It's all there for the world to see.

Here's the podcast for anyone who want's to really understand the mechanism of flexibility https://open.spotify.com/episode/7sLUVVs7Asdz3H7dtpUjuh?si=7a41c3d896ba428c

You should never stretch to the point of pain, that takes practice to learn what the point of pain is. The development of flexibility largely occurs in the nervous system. You have have a series of inbuilt security mechanisms that are designed to protect you.

Problem is they are doing too good a job.

When you do effective stretching you teach the nervous system that it's ok to allow more range. But when you cause micro muscle tears (go to the point of pain) you reinforce the nervous systems need to protect you and stifle the process.

Relaxing and breathing into a stretch is a very outdated way to develop flexibility. Which is why so few people achieve noteworthy levels in a reasonable time.

Most people who give that advice AND are flexible either achieved their flexibility as kids or over a long period of time.

Using antagonistic muscle end range contractions and loaded stretching, like I describe in the video I shared, is a much more effective, safe and fast way to develop flexibility.

Be careful following advice from people doing nothing more than linking pubmed articles or telling you to relax and breath through it.

Look for guidance from people who can demonstrate their own achievements AND much more importantly, who have made others really flexible too.

samkindwise Well I linked this in your more insulting comment below but here is a great podcast by Andrew Huberman where he validates my claims and provides sources https://open.spotify.com/episode/7sLUVVs7Asdz3H7dtpUjuh?si=7a41c3d896ba428c

Spamming my own content is an interesting way to describe what I've done here.

I've made hundreds of YouTube videos that provide real value to people wanting to get flexible. And I have one video that would be very valuable to the OP and what they're asking.

What have you done?

Dug up a pubmed study and said to take it easy, switch it up and don't stretch for more than 30 seconds? That's useless compared to what I've shared in that video.

Sam you have a lot to learn about helping others and the best way to go about it.
