Splits Practice and Short Clip From the Day I Hurt My Shoulder

This isn't terribly interesting except for those of you polers who are working on splits. Just showing you how I used some tape onthe floor to mark my progress. I think splits will help me get the Cupid.

And a Clip from Sunday when I did Inverts 2 hours straight--trying to do the S/G Aysha. Not very smart. There's time enough to meet your goals. Enjoy the process and the goals will come...

PS

I feel fine today...I'm going to give it an extra day or two to rest and try the pole this weekend... The pain was due to swelling I think--exactly along the line or the little "ridge" or "seam" between the lump of the bicep and the tricep. Pain upon compression of the muscle, not it's use...

LOL, I saw the videos that came up next to this one...there is one of this girl with her leg at 100% of the vertical. Guess I have a LONG way to go!!

@TheMsMrmann Hi, Mrmann. Thanks for watching and enjoying my video. This is an old clip and I don't remember all of the specific moves. I can't re-watch it now...but please send me an e-mail or a PM of what parts were objectionable and I will consider re-editing those portions. As a general rule, i try to make all of my pole and gym work 100% non-sexual, so I'm not sure what was problematic. Anyway, drop me a PM...or friend me on Facebook. and message me there.../Joel Lessing.

Hi, Iina...yes, I am also doing the stretch segment of Jamilla's video pole course where she takes you through all of the muscle groups. I always have a full support whenever I try the splits...the railing or a formal "stretch cage" at the health club so I can totally rescue myself if I start to feel weak. Yeah, that Achilles thing is a 2-3 year old problem that heals during the winter...comes back in the summer. Probably the only real solution is an entire year off the bicycle!

I' sure somebody's said it already, but since you're so far from splits it would be far more beneficial to just to individual stretches to all muscles in your hip / pelvis area rather than try the splits... You're more likely to just gain injury than flexibility especially with that achilles tendon, please be careful!
