Passive Flexibility Tests

Basic passive flexibility positions:
Front Splits, Side Split, Back Bridge, Seated and Standing Pike and the Pancake.

All achieved through a combination of potent stretching methods, done a couple of times a week.
No daily passive stretching waste of your time.

Hello Ido, congratulations for your work and dedication, the results are coming and are great. Very good videos, and generally, good music acompaignment. In this, case, a great one. Astrakan cafe (2), from the album with the same name, from Anouar Brahem, just beautyfull. Good luck, man.

[portaldo]

You know your music, buddy. True. Anouar's music is magical.

Thank you for your kind words.

Amazing, You have gotten me curious though. What are these potent stretching methods you speak about?

[portaldo]

Periodization and planning of the stretching process, not only using exercises, sets and reps, but in a smart way, in order to break barriers and advance step by step into deeper ranges of motion. Strength and flexibility is the best when going hand in hand.

when I get in the mood to do something wacky, I eat a pancake split with sprinkles, not do one.

One more thing lol! Where can I get a mat like that? All I find are narrow yoga/pilates/stretching mats. I would like something wide like in your video for flowing floor work. I have wooden floors, not fun! Thanks :D

@portaldo Just to give you an idea of my flexibility goals, I want to reach contortion status. I am in my mid twenties though lol. I mention this because you said passive stretches are a waste of time. Then again I am assuming you mean static stretches unless you mean something else. I can do a bridge but aim to do a contortionist backbend. Can this be achieved through the periodization you speak off or will I be better off using static stretches given the nature of the contortionist backbend?

[candlecane]

@portaldo So do you have information/routine for this potent stretching/periodization on your blog as well? Or are you saying that this can be accomplished through the practise of the floreio itself without any additional stretching practise? Thanks

@TheSophiestication09 he did them just fine. gymnast do them all the time with feet pointing to the front.

[TheSophiestication09]

just one thing....you cannot do the side split with your feet pointing to the front that will hurt you knees very badly youre supposed to do it to you knees and toes pointing onto the ceiling :)

what is the secret to develop a grest pancake position?

[mcnotts]

I have to say you are such an inspiration. Watching you just wants to make me do the same everyday. I'm really proud for seeing someone from the other side of the world with an amazing and extraordinary talent. I hope to see and learn more from a great mestre like you. Shallom my friend
