Post by: Raptor on July 18, 2011, 06:51:44 pm
I wonder how many of you are able to do it:

I used to do it easily when I was a kid (~10 years old) but right now I'm sooo far away from doing it.

i've never been able to do that, not even as a kid.. bad flexibility/mobility from the getgo.

What I hate about stretching stuff is that it takes decades to do. Millions of years to do millions of stretching so it gets annoying and I ditch it.

That's exactly what I'm doing. ;D

Hamstring, glute, calf and hip flexor stretching to the fullest.

I actually want to be able to do the splits, especially the side splits since they look awesome, pretty soon.

I do this every day:
