    I was thinking of putting up a youtube video of my morning mobility/stretching routine. Nothing heavy, just a light work out to loosen up the joints and stretch the muscles/tendons etc. This workout has allowed me to do flat front splits no worries. It took me around 1 month to reach them.

    Ill let you know when its up (2-3 weeks)

    ps: I am no professional so I dont know the ins and outs of health and safety, but it will give you an insight into how I achieved them.

    So Monkeyfoot...how's the progress on the video?

    He won't. even if he did, monkeyfoot could always start a new thread with the vid. Stop acting so gay.

    The splits!! Lol

    I didn't think this was going to an interesting topic but somehow, it made me laugh.

    It's good we all have a sense of humor, right?

    Splits are difficult for me.
    Cordially yours,

    So Monkeyfoot...how's the progress on the video?
    in all honesty....cr@p! Working 75 hour weeks so I've barely had the chance to do anything other than work....kinda sucks, life of a designer I guess...

    Don't worry though, ill get on it before too long

    Craig

    ps: dont hype this up, would hate an anticlimax LMAO. Keep ya posted

    pps: this pic was taken 2 months ago. This was 3 weeks after doing a daily light stretch (I can now go the extra inch to flat but generally dont like sitting on my grapes ). I have been training MA/tanglang for 2 years so had a little bit of flex before....but not much

    Since Sanjuro's now come out and stopped posting 'assistance' pics for our martial fervour some time ago, here's one counter to the ghey (and that last one of Monkeyfoot's):

    Mr. Punch,

    Perhaps I should rephrase my post. What I mean is that serious atheletes should include exercises that strengthen and stretch the upper thigh and hip muscles in their regular training program. The exercises do not need to be leg split. In fact, I regard it as not the best exercise to achieve the objective.



    Regards,

    Thanks, I think I got it the first time. My observation wasn't actually aimed at you.
