JusticeZero Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not really, no... though from what I hear, you should try to use your muscles in the split as in to push yourself out of the split, and probably stretch kicks would be helpful too.

bushido_man96 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Just keep stretching. You could also look into proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching as well, to try to get you over a hump. It is a bit more involved, though, and works best with a partner. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Definitely PNF stretching. Any stretches where you are working the same muscles as you need for the splits. Also remember to work them equally, so if you work on the quads, work on the hamstrings too.

The BB of C Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Oh. I can help you out good on this.I am documenting the stretching routiene I did when I got my splits (because friends kept ASKING ME!!!) Send me a private message and as soon as it gets done I can send it to you through file transfer if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
