View Full Version : Pain while split training
Hey guys
I can do a fronsplit without pain , but if I train the side splits I got fucking pain in my Hips. Is there a way to avoid it? I looked at the Flexy test and I could do the test without pain. But allways if I reach this point I have pain.

Do you have proper form when you do it as well? Are you checking in a mirror or filming yourself as you do the split?
tilt your pelvis forward or rotate your legs backward ( toes point up ), to get the bones out of the way

Side split training for me is piece of cake compared to front splits where I get burning in my hamstrings.
Last night I reached a new level, butt 3 inches from the floor, but my patella popped violently as my legs reached a new angle... was disturbing...
Do squats with your legs further apart and dip down. Maybe try isometric stretching if you haven't already?

if your working out alot that means your building more muscle that needs to be stretched.. if you reach the floor one day, then work out a couple days, then stretch you may find it harder to do because new muslce that youve built up needs to be stretched. :]

Don't force the splits if they hurt your hip bone, many people have a limited range of hip motion due to the bones; e.g. I can't do any high sidelifts on my left side due to hip pain, the right side presents no problem though.

Are you making assumptions now?
To quote Gusch: "Any studies that can prove your point?"

This is completely wrong. Do research before posting.
