@Mrgyrodude how did you do tha?t i have tried many types of streching routines and studied the science bhind it but i still can't do it after like 6 months

[dexzzo]

get better results by doing streching with girl partner, just saying

[Allistertha53]

@dexzzo Do you think that it's a good thing to do this kind of stretch with a partner of the opposite sex?

[dexzzo]

@Allistertha53 was kidding

[pballfan]

This is actually a dangerous stretch even without a pre-existing knee problem *rolls eyes*

... ps- This works your abductor muscles more than your hamstrings.

[eltona2323]

[MrGremlin777]

@MrGremlin777 lmaooo

[gustavocologni]

Fantastic !! But if I don't have a partner ? Is there anything I could do alone ?

[DavySigfusson]

It's really hard to do this and keep the muscles from "resisting" because it's a type of defense mechanism for the muscles to pull in the opposite direction to keep themselves from ripping.

... It's really key, for a person doing Any stretches, to take deep breaths and focus on being as Relaxed as possible.

In many cases: More relaxation = less pain & much less effort.

[jkraju1]

Is there a good alternative if there's no partner ?

[Kaveo415in]
