that if I were to do nothing but relaxed/iso stretching tonight for hours all night, I'd get side splits by morning?

depends on your current flexibility levels and pain tolerance

I say: try it out, and then provide us with an enlightening discovery (or not). :good:
I'd say hypothetically you could get damn close, if not actually achieve it bub.

Dude, you kick ass! You just reminded me of how much Vega was my favorite character when I was younger!I say: try it out, and then provide us with an enlightening discovery (or not). :good:

Indeed, Vega is a bonafide badass. A badass with a troubled past. I once took all the literature that Capcom published about him as part of the Street Fighter storyline and "creatively expanded" it to explain his childhood, his birth, his training, and I added my own creative interpretation as to why he is psychotic. The story turned out okay imo :nerd:

I'd like to read that story. Would you be able to send it to one of my email addresses?
I also want that mask, big time. Does anyone sell them?

Unfortunately, I think I only have a lame intro-esque story of Vega on my laptop. The full story is back home on my desktop.
I also want a Vega mask. The only kind I've ever found were lame, plastic looking masks for kids :eh: The kind that he wore in the live action movie wasnt that bad...if i found something close to it, I would wear it. I'd wear it during my nightly jaunts around the city, ready to strike at anyone who made fun of me for emulating a character from a old video game :bandit:
Do you still want the tiny Vega story? It's really more of a brainstorming process I went through to figure out what kind of character I wanted him to be. I can send it to you via email or post it here or something, I dont mind.

Actually, I'm a bit of a writer myself. Please send it. My email is el_fostro21@yahoo.com. I think we make masks in art class this year...
If I make it, I'd wear it during tricking vids. I might make one for you if we get the chance, and if I'm feeling generous, lol!

Actually that won't work, you'll probably end up worse. Your muscles need time to heal (eg. sleep) to get stronger and more flexible. I also doubt any prolonged stretches are good for flex after certain time (like 5 minutes).
There is no secret magic way to gain splits over night. It takes time. Period.
Not possible you'd be so tried from not sleeping anyway.

It could happen, but subjecting yourself to that much stress all at once isn't wise. You're more likely to injure yourself. Better to build up to it progressively.

Hell, you could get the splits in three seconds if you really wanted them. But if you push too hard your body won't adjust and you'll only be injuring yourself. But hey, go for it. It's your sack.
