sidezplitz challengezzz

[Skippy]

Me and Kris (K slash) are at the moment, trying to get Sidesplits by december 1st.

Anyone else want to join in? I know Shengoikee made a thread like this (or tkd_andy?) but noone ended up posting up their pictures at the end of it all.

If anyone wishes to join in with me and K slash, I'll post up a picture of how close I am so far tomorrow (Like 14-18 inchs away), as should others and we could all try and be uber flex people by the date :] Even though it's relatively close, it's something to aim for and a bit of a challenge.

Stretching is all I have to do with all this awful weather haha.

[Origional]

I will join

[Origional]

We should have monthly updates

[Tim Hutchinson]

I'll do this, I'll post a picture soon of how far off I am atm

[Skippy]

Yus! this is good. I'll post up my photo tomorrow, I'm still a bit sore from yesterdays stretching to be able to go and do a proper one just yet haha. Thankyou guys!

[Yuri]

I remember it only took me a week of trying to get side split, and I haven't lost it since

as jiayo james would say, you all just need to relax

but you should not worry about how long it takes you

[tricker383]

Me and bozzy are most likely going to be joining this challenge. Thanks for bringing it up this should inspire us to finally stick it through and get solid side split :)

Il post a pic in like 5 mins. Il get bozzy to post tommrow or if He is on msn Il get him to take a photo now :)

[Skippy]

I remember it only took me a week of trying to get side split, and I haven't lost it since

as jiayo james would say, you all just need to relax

but you should not worry about how long it takes you

How flexible were you when you started working for the sidesplit Yuri? were you already reasonable close? Just wondering =]

[Yuri]

I was decently flexible but wasn't super close

I used several of the techniques from relax into stretch

and one particular session I decided to see how far I could take it, and I achieved side split, though it was painful

it's all about relaxing though. take deep breaths and go a little farther everytime you breathe out

[TricksterBee]

i posted my pics of my splits in that thread dude...
i guess im nobody

[Yuri]

yes, we have all seen your splits, congratulations

[Ewasiuk]

I'm in stealth mode right now. You don't know whether I'm in or out :ninja:

[TricksterBee]

you're out :eh:

the key is relaxing, try sleeping in a stretch, it helps

[Ewasiuk]

you're out :eh:

the key is relaxing, try sleeping in a stretch, it helps

Yeah I accidentally fell asleep during a stretch and when I woke up I didn't feel the strain and my rom increased a little. Too bad that was a long time ago.

[Origional]

how the fuck do you fall alseep in a stretch?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Ewasiuk]

how the fuck do you fall alseep in a stretch?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Usually if the stretch is on the ground like this one:

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/7606/s37cn0.jpg

Stretching while tired obviously leads to sleeping in a stretch.

[TricksterBee]

how the fuck do you fall alseep in a stretch?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

funny stuff XD

[Papa Lazarou]

Sounds like a great idea.

[TricksterBee]

or be like me & my teammates, get pushed all the way down and bitch about the pain later

[Sara]

i posted my pics of my splits in that thread dude...
i guess im nobody

I'm starting to feel as though this guy is a bit of a wannabe Graber.

[Yuri]

from what I've heard, sumos get stretched when they are young by being brutally pushed into the split. tearing the muscles in their legs. when they heal they are then flexible. most of them don't live past 40 though

doppleganger, remind me which one is clasp knife? I did a lot of the flexing really hard and releasing, and a bit of breath control. it was abour 2.5 years ago so I don't remember the details too well

[TricksterBee]

I'm starting to feel as though this guy is a bit of a wannabe Graber.

why would i want to be like him?

graber can suck my ass, for all i care...

[k-slash]

Since I'm already involved then yes I will, though I doubt I will reach it even if I stretch to da max effry dai but yeah I'll take a pic today of meine front and box splits sofar.

GOOD LUCK PEOPLE!

[k-slash]

Hadyn has now joined our competition!

But he is already quite close, the bastard haha!

[Spekk]

can i join ???

i don't have photos ....only video :S

[Skippy]

Lololol whats that in that there avatar

[BrandonLenz]

i may join, even if i think its fairly unnecessary for me at this point, i'm pretty close though (10 inches away?)

[Sara]

Are you guys doing sitting up splits when toes pointed down, sitting up splits with toes pointed up, or lying down splits with toes pointed up or down??
or does it not matter?

[Skippy]

It does not matter.

[Ernest]

I'm joining, if only for some motivation cause i wouldn't bother otherwise :]

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I mentioned wanting to get the splits to Xander,I'm in.

Edit: I'll post my current flexibility pics tomorrow. I'll be going for front splits too. BRING IT ERNY!

[Ernest]

To the death, Bloodaxe :ogre:

[Kay]

Im abit far off but ive been working them for weeks now so im in

[Kid Knuckles]

wish I could. I'm havein acl surgery on tuesday :dead:

[Krunchee]

Count me in too.

[paulSA]

count me in, even tho im miles away from splits haha :P

[k-slash]

I measured yesterday 12.5 inches!

[k-slash]

And that was only my penis, ho ho ho!

[Less than Dan]

I'm in. I need this shit solely for improving my mills.

[Origional]

!!Update!!
After doing all the stretches for the lower body here are the results:
Front: about 6-7 inches on both sides before discomfort. didn't push it.
Side:about 11-13 inches - can't tell. Somewhat pushed.
Scorpion Kick: Painful popping in hip at every attempt at chamber. Forced it - was actually worse because of the pain.

EDIT: forgot to mention I had a LOT of lower back pain in nearly ALL stretches. It was so bad several times I had to take a break

[Origional]

Baron and Dopp. Please explain these stretching techniques in detail.

[Origional]

It simply consist of maximal intensity isometric stretching until the point where the inverse stretch reflex is triggered. Usually after several minutes, all depending on the individual...not for the faint of heart!
I am sorry, I should have asked for it in English

lol

[Origional]

haha it wasn't to be mean or anything.

I just mean (ok analogy) describe it like you were talking to your grandma, but don't be afraid to go into detail.

thanks

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Where are you people measuring from? Y'all nuts?

[paulSA]

Where are you people measuring from? Y'all nuts?

basicly lol

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

In that case I'm about 8-12 inches away. Pics & measurement tonight.

[Papa Lazarou]

Don't freaking do isometrics to failure unless you're ready for... failure.

Edit: wow, I totally put "reading" instead of "ready" =p

[Hadyn]

Il join

[Origional]

Where are you people measuring from? Y'all nuts?
No. That would give me an unfair advantage. Measure from where it starts

[shengoikee]

i hurt my hip whilst the previous one was going on haha

i'll get sidesplits eventually though. i'll let you know when it happens.

[Papa Lazarou]

Doppelganger,

Yeah, I'm not saying it won't work. I just know how impatient people can be, and I wouldn't want anyone exploding their groins :ogre:

[Skippy]

So long as people get this, that is alls I care for haha. More people in this world need better kicks, especially on hook kicks! so this is good for all I feel =]

I miss tricking =[

[TricksterBee]

not me :eh:

[Trixter]

IM JOINING THIS!

[Skippy]

not me :eh:

If you have the splits, then I feel your flexibility is adaquete enough for high kicks haha. Perhaps you just need technique and power.

[Origional]

How is your dynamic flexibility? All basic kicks use dynamic flexibility not static.

[Skippy]

Although they all use Dynamic, if you can statically hold your foot near your head, there is no reason for your range of motion to be limited to not being able to kick there.

[Origional]

Although they all use Dynamic, if you can statically hold your foot near your head, there is no reason for your range of motion to be limited to not being able to kick there.
Eigh... That be active static my friend - which is a combonation of both static and dynamic flexiblilty. You must have both plus a strong back to do them.

Also, there is no substitute for a full range of motion

[TricksterBee]

my legs go higher than my hip i know that, i need to start drilling kicks

[Papa Lazarou]

Eigh... That be active static my friend - which is a combonation of both static and dynamic flexiblilty.


No, but the terms can be confusing.

Static = motionless
Dynamic = in motion

Passive = without muscle tension
Active = with muscle tension

A static-active hold does not involve dynamic flexibility, but getting a limb into position for one might.

[joepaxton]

I shall join for the sake of getting myself to stretch, I will try and get some pics tonight:smile:

[jiayo-chris]

I'll join!!

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

Dynamic flexibility is static flexibility expressed through a range of motion. Increasing your static will help with you dynamic obvs. [/debate]


GET PIX

[Skippy]

SHOW US YOUR PIC AIDEN

Today I am tricking hopefully since the weather looks like it has stopped my garden from being flooded ^.^ so I should have my photo up today.

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

SHOW US YOUR DIC AIDEN*fixed*:smile:



:shocked:Skippy! zomg u sed dat

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I knew I wasn't 100% correct, I went with the cocky approach anyway. Thanks Xandalf:wink:

[Skippy]

My flexibility seemed to be deducted so much today, it sucked so bad =[ the next stretching day I will haz to try out PNF stretching again.

[Bozzy]

I'm so far of it's unbelieveable but I'll join.
I'll post pictures when I get home

[Kanthis]

Count me in u got a ninja on the team.. if we really plan on doing this we need to help each other stretch and come up with some basic routines I will start.. right now im doing stretches 3 times a day.. 15mins each might go up too 30mins and do a wide range of stretches..

Work im doing to reach my goal..

V-sit 5mins
Frog-stretch 5mins
Sides-plits 5mins

I need 3 more to do 5mins each any ideas???


Ps.. This take dedication and hard work so lazy people u already lost:dead:

[Papa Lazarou]

No you don't need more stretches haha.

Just do a few stretches per muscle group for a few minutes each, trying to reach the safe limit of your range of motion in the target positions every session. And watch you don't do too much.

[Ishimaru]

Count me in also :juji: Where do you post your pics? Is there an earlier thread or what?

[Skippy]

Just post your picture in this thread right here right now :]

I feel so embaressed at how far away I am. But I am determined to get these by december haha.

[Bozzy]

Skippy I think I'll be the furthest off I need a meter rule to messure mine, and I'm only 5'5....well....I'm pretty far off them put it that way, I'll stretch tonight and take pictures soooo 3hours and I'll have mine up:smile:

[Trixter]

How do you take a picture of yourself doing the splitz? Only mirror Ihave is in my bathroom = waist level boohoo

[joepaxton]

Self time?

[BrandonLenz]

[Origional]

I don't know how to take pics without pushing the button myself:agony:

[TricksterBee]

i thought you were in the top 2% IQ in the world? thats why they made manuals buddy

[Origional]

haha
My mom accidentally through out the manual. I have done it before, but it is all in technical terms, and to be honest it just takes a while.

My camera is not what you would call "user friendly".

[TricksterBee]

what type of camera do you have?

[Origional]

what type of camera do you have?
a canon
I found the setting: I had to go adjust the dm for "driver mode". wtf is driver mode?
Basicly, I would set it, then basicly jump into my max split:bad:

I made a vid
Turns out I have front splits:smile:

[Origional]

http://www.divshare.com/download/5589832-d2e
As you see I just kind of fell into them. I can go much deeper on all.

For fronts:my only real problem is the quads. I am about 4 inches away from doing them with my hips "square".
That was actually ever tried front splits like that. Doesn't really matter, I will not count it until I get it with my hips square.

For side:I fail

[TricksterBee]

Yea middle splits suck, my hips are square and all but in front splits my quads burn a lil

[Yarr]

Ill join. I havent tried them in like a year,but I was pretty close when i tried them then...and im about 3-5 cm from getting my front split!

[Ishimaru]

As you can see, I'm at the moment very far away from the goal, but I'm trying my best :dead: I have been more flexible in the early years, but now I haven't stretched regularly in couple of years (you can see it clearly :ogre:)
I think this kind of thread-thing can be a good motivator, so let's see in December :wicked:

[Skippy]

I'm about where you are Ishimaru :]

[Ishimaru]

I'm about where you are Ishimaru :]

What you mean where I am? :eh:

[joepaxton]

What you mean where I am? :eh:

Nice man not far off!

Skippy means his splits are at the same level as yours:smile: and well done for actually posting pics:good:

Especially skippy and k-slash POST SOME PICS!

BTW: if u didn't stretch today or yesterday why are u here??

DO WORK!!

[Skippy]

How're people going? Yesterdays stretching session I made some noticeable improvement that I'm happy with, I can't do isometrics properly while in the splits stretch, but I'm doing dynamic > relaxed > dynamic > relaxed now and it's giving awesome results in both my dynamic and static flexibility =]

You're not doing it wrong man, just keep doing what you're doing, keep going lower every time you stretch and you'll have it in no time

[pekei]

I'm 50 cm away from sidesplit x) My goal is to become more flexible, I have noe chance at all getting it before 1. december.

[Bozzy]

Pekei you sound like me, I'm like 20cm off, but I'm really short so that's why I'm closer.
