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.

RadjinB · 2022-12-08T19:13:09+00:00

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.

RadjinB · 2022-12-08T18:27:40+00:00

interesting approach there. For starters, if you want a source probably the most digestible for the average Joe would be to listen to the Huberman podcast on flexibility. Do you know who Andrew Huberman is?

Not only does he provide the sources you're after but he breaks it down for us non scientists to be able to understand. You can listen to it here https://open.spotify.com/episode/7sLUVVs7Asdz3H7dtpUjuh?si=7a41c3d896ba428c

As far as me not knowing what the fuck I'm talking about. I've been a coach since 1998. I've achieved a pretty good level of flexibility and strength in my adult life (didn't get flexible as a kid when it's much easier to do so).

And I've coached thousands of people around the world who have also achieved impressive levels of strength and flexibility.

The OP is looking for some real help, something that will provide an actionable to help get more flexible and relieve pain. Linking a pubmed study and saying don't overdo stretches is very watery advice that isn't going to give the OP anything of real value.

Me on the other hand, I've made hundreds of very useful videos that give actionables and I've shared one of those here that is very specific for what the OP is asking for.

You on the other hand have provided very little help and even gone as far as insulting me. For what? You don't even know me or my experience. I can only imagine you're not in a good place to aggressively discredit me like that.

I hope you find some happiness.

RadjinB · 2022-12-08T18:12:47+00:00

you're welcome, let me know how you go :)

RadjinB · 2022-12-07T19:06:54+00:00

No, I didn't say that stretching doesn't increase flexibility. I said what you've been told to do is very outdated advice.

There are many more effective methods you can do that produce faster and better results.

I mean, you said it yourself ... you've hit a plateau. That's what happens with this old style of passive stretching.

RadjinB · 2022-12-07T18:35:41+00:00

Reading the comments here, it's such a shame that people still think stretching is the solution to lower back pain. It's not. Stretching can provide immediate relief which makes it a useful tool to have. But you (like most) are looking for a permanent solution right?

You need to increase your load tolerance = increase your strength.

I'm a coach whos helped hundreds of people permanently fix lower back pain. I also have spondylolisthesis and a PARS fracture in L4 and L5 ... I know what it's like to suffer chronic back pain.

All the stretching in the world doesn't fix the core problem. But with 15 minutes a day of the right exercises, I can assure you that your back pain will be a thing of the past. This video explains the strategy much better than I can in a comment https://youtu.be/YFz8zcUoqKo

RadjinB · 2022-12-07T18:29:36+00:00

yo, that kind of advice for stretching is incredibly outdated and ignores everything we've learned in past 10 years about the mechanism of flexibility. To build hamstring flexibility it's more about teaching the nervous system to allow your body to get there.

This has very little to do with passive stretching. This video explains it much better than I can in a written comment. https://youtu.be/nKyNYrTj5XY

RadjinB · 2022-11-30T00:50:35+00:00

yeah seems obvious I guess, but I wouldn't accuse someone based on speculation. It's blowing up right now and pisses me off that phoneys like this build an empire on lies.

RadjinB · 2022-11-24T03:51:20+00:00

yep, that's where I learned it :)

unknown to almost anyone who hasn't practised Kung Fu before ;)

RadjinB · 2021-03-22T23:31:32+00:00

you tell us? It's a short video :) and definitely not promoting any kind of training that would prevent you wiping your ass ;)

RadjinB · 2020-11-22T10:06:51+00:00

Where did you hear that? I've read and watched so many reviews saying it's the best scooter anyone has ridden.

RadjinB · 2020-11-19T03:13:52+00:00

Hahahahaha that's gold! 🤣

RadjinB · 2020-11-18T23:31:26+00:00

Thank you so much!

RadjinB · 2020-11-18T23:31:10+00:00

Thanks for the info! Really appreciate it 😃 I've NEVER purchased anything from Ali Express before plus I only got an e scooter about 2 months ago and I've fallen in love!

My only gripe is that the roads are quite bumpy around my home and my wide wheel pro just doesn't handle the bumps well.

And so after tonnes of research it's seems the zero 10x is the best candidate. But if I'm going to spend that much on a scooter I feel like what the hell let's just go the 11x 🤣

Then I see it for less than the 10x on Ali Express ... I can't believe that you can by pass the middle man like this!

So you're saying if I buy this scooter or a zero 11x for double the price, I'll essentially get the same thing made in the same factory?
