[xxSnoopyxx]

Is it safe to do this if your knee is prone to dislocation? I've dislocated my knee 3 times already, and I'm scared this might cause it to do it again.

[iCxOsiris]

[iCxOsiris]

Thanks a lot I've been searching streches for splits a while In general i am really flexible but never had splits this time i'm training hard to get it :) or streching :D

[landakblurr]

should i use a stopwatch or just estimate the time?

[thebenchmaster1992]

NAME OF SONG PLX!!??

[ZEBASS]

@thebenchmaster1992 +1 !!!

[linkreac]

Since im on martial arts, im able to perform a side split but I really struggle for the front split xD Thanks for this video! I love your channels and all your videos and more the tutorailsyoure uploading! gj

[jveuduson]

Great video Arash ! Very well put together. I've been practising the splits for quite a wile now but I've just learned new things, this is great !

Could anybody tell me why a stretch must be kept for at least 30 seconds ? I mean scientificly ?

Anyway, thanks a lot !

[byakuyakuchiki7]

@jveuduson the hold time can be different depending on the type of stretch (PNF, dynamic, etc)

but in the case of static stretching, what you're essentially doing is lengthening the muscle, and in order for that to actually take effect, typically a hold b/w 15-60 seconds is recommended (according to ACSM)

hopefully that helped a little, happy training!

[NicoDLdaLaguna]

so that's where i got my stretches... forgot i did TKD when i was little :D

[Jivris]

I play a lot of football (soccer) so my muscles are not so flexible to do this although I would love to.

[xino951]

2 dislikers UR FREAKING GAY!!!!

[trikzter1]

good video, i need to practise these stretches more often though. great track as well

[KLIKLAFREESTYLE]

I can do every strech of those but no splits, seems to be another level for me

Let's see how long it will take me to get them

[highflyer]

I'm an overweight male, and I can already do the splits, naturally ever since I was in my teens. But I don't know what good it is being able to split like this.

[strengthproject]

@highflyer You have a sick youtube name!

[dumaznbum]

[2s2bs]

[2s2bs]

[XilentFlex]

Extremely well made video Arash, well done! I've been looking for a tutorial to show me how to improve my flexibility for a long time and this video is more than a start to that! Thank you my friend!

[Squiddey]

I actually have a problem with the butterfly stretch, where I find that my right leg seems to lock in place and simply causes pain without actually gaining any flexibility even after sitting in the position for upwards of 5 minutes... Any idea's on a resolve or a possible cause would be great.

[TheKRNG]

is she asian?

[riyaznew]

@TheKRNG No she is African.

[joealtair3000]

@TheKRNG No shes black

[homj1]

[homj1]

can you do one for improving pikes? thanks :)

[Kornonapiska]

dont know if i see it right but try to keep your legs completely down man otherwise your split is gonna be shot- your right leg seems to be leaning up towards the knee or im just seeing wrong

[homj1]

can you do one for pike :D....please, im desperate

[zeroender]

i need to move to wherever u guys live, it looks like an exercising paradise.

[iTzClanProductionz]

whats the song name?

[TheDslide]

i'm a men i did that 2 years and now i can do straddle split and front split !

[adekpunkrocker]

Amazing help but I don't wanna sit on my balls lol.

[s7ar77herio7]

A lot of people i know say that not every1 can do splits, no matter how much they practice it ... now im confused :/

[pkhamidar2com]

Wow nice this isn't bad. But I personally prefer dynamic stretches as I've improved so much in tangsoodo because of them but not asmuch with static as shown here. But I still do static :-)

[chavamma]

Dude these are few of the variety stretches we do in Gymnastics.

[jesserobles]

I can do this easily, and I'm a guy. But there are some exercises that I didn't know! Thanks, is gonna be easier and more fun :)

[Nightball12]

Nice video!

[MrCodaman]

So bouncing is not good?!

[ZanderTHV]

@MrCodaman nah dude bouncing is bad. i cant tell you specifically what it does, but all i know is that if you want to stretch, hold it and dont bounce. i think it triggers the contraction reflex in your muscles and may lead to you straining or pulling whatever you're trying to stretch

[MrCodaman]

So bouncing is not good?! And, can you do split? =D

[MrCodaman]

So bouncing is not good?! And Arash, can you do split? =D

[WuIzMe]

would you say that flexiblity reduces your leg strength? I find that every time I do some kind of intense running exercise my legs tighten up, and any progress I make with getting splits just disappears.

[Squiddey]

@WuIzMe Flexibility wont really reduce leg strength, it just feels that way because your relieving the muscle tension. Take gymnasts for example, they can do full splits/over-splits and they still have very powerful legs.

The reason you lose progress for splits after intense exercise is because the muscle fibres tighten, which stop you stretching as far until the muscle fibres relax fully again.

I've experiences similar things and asked similar questions myself, hope this helps. ^_^

[riahmatic]

@WuIzMe gymnasts seem to have much of both.

[riyaznew]

Just what I needed for my Taekwondo training! Thank you so much :) Well my master teaches the same stretches but I bounce a lot. Thanks for the information. :)

[rawrnumber7]

@riyaznew lol your master..

[riyaznew]

@rawrnumber7 :) Yes my Master. :)
