I wanna have super fricking flexible legs, hamstrings in particular (pic related)
I'm doing all the standard stretches and am considering yoga, but, I'm wondering whether there are any hacks/tips that can help
I sleep in the fetal position on my side and am wondering whether strapping resistance bands around my ankles to have my legs be straight while I sleep would help (probably gay and moronic I know)
Maybe shoes that put your ankles in a strechy position, standing desks, something of this sort to help speed up muh strech gains
Share your tips boys
So your boyfriend can frick your ass or...?
Partly, but mainly so I can do squats and lunges more comfortably
IT'S PRACTICE SO HE CAN SUCK HIS OWN DICK OP YOU DEGENERATE FRICK
Man I wish I could do that. Never been even able to touch toes.
I used to be able to suck my own dick when I was younger. Never to the point where it was comfortable though.
It's not really that fun. It's a good marker of flexibility and dick length but to quote a great man: "it doesn't feel so much like you're getting your dick sucked as it does you're sucking a dick."
t. busted in my own mouth
I have shitty hamstrings too OP (can't touch toes etc.) yet I can still do a full squat. It's something else fricking you.
Squats are mostly fine tbh, it's mainly lunges that are fricked. (I workout at home and don't have a rack so I usually do single leg stuff with dumbbells)
I can do them, but, hamstrings seem more sore than they should be after only 3 sets or so
Well if they're getting sore I assume you're making progress on them.
>hacks
You fricking morons make me sick. Everything has to be a fricking video game to you, so you refer to tips as "hacks" and people who disagree with you as "NPCs." It's like you're all slowly replacing your brain matter with garbage.
Npc's are normies who act on impulse and can't think for themselves moron.
deficit rdls (focus on keeping back neutral or arched with knees back, widen grip when you can go bar to toes with strict form) + jefferson curls (optionally elevate toes for more stretch behind the knee), progress ROM on both over time.
Thank you.
Do you have a suggestion of a good way to track progress? I've just been filming timelapses of myself
Just do this stretch if you want to improve in this position. It won't transfer to other positions.
>warm up or not, do one rep, 15-20s
>stretch position 3x for 30s
>wait 6 hours (let boyfriend frick you in the ass or something)
>repeat
It's that easy. Palms to floor in 3 months confirmed.
Ur not supposed to feel pain during stretch.
If too hard, do it sitting on the floor, moving forward with torso.
Measure progress with your brain and hands.
>>wait 6 hours (let boyfriend frick you in the ass or something)
Ok, although, I'm gonna need more than one frick in da ass in a 6 hour period,
thank you
for me personally I didn't track progress on deficit RDLs, I just waited until the stretch in my hamstrings started becoming less severe before adding more deficit/widening the grip. On jefferson curls you can just go down until you get to maximum stretch, hold the position for however long you want to before going up, and naturally over time you will end up going deeper to reach max stretch. I don't think tracking progress is necessary, just make sure you're always getting an enormous stretch in your hamstrings on every rep and it will naturally improve, but if you want to track it timelapses are probably not a bad idea. For deficit rdls you could get an imperical measurement by tracking how large the deficit is and how wide your grip is over time, and on jefferson curls you could figure out a system to measure how far below your toes the bar is going.
Ok, thank you for the advice, I'm thinking of putting a metre ruler against the wall and tracking how far my hands are from the floor
Just do PNF stretching
>PNF
Ok
Don't be white. Swear whites have inherently bad flexibility to start or something.'
All jokes aside do your rdl's and stretch frequently.
Thank you
>Don't be white.
Black/asian/mexican*
never seen a minority who could even touch their toes.
huh? I have always been able to touch my toes.
OTOH I know 2 long torso whites who couldn't. One was so bad he barely reached his knees.
I do give him the benefit of being a mountain biker who was quad dominant, so his hamstrings were probably tight.
I know in some exercises with weights your muscle gets stretched more and more which allows you to go farther and get better rom.
RDL's do that, squats can, db pullovers, db bench press.
I improved my squat rom by just sitting into a bodyweight squat couple minutes every day. Fixed my tighter ankles.
whites have longer torsos on average which can make some stretches difficult, but it doesn't mean whites are less flexible. if anything whites are more active than any other race. outside of women's gymnastics whites dominate nearly any general activity you can imagine.
>whites dominate nearly any general activity you can imagine
Like basketball.
basketball isn't a sport.
it's a casino game.
i bet on one homie to shoot more rolly hoops than another homie.
I went from not being remotely able to touch my feet with straightened legs, to being able to touch my toes in a little over a month.
All I did was to actually start lifting again, doing Romanian Deadlifts low weight 8-10 reps. Go full ROM until you feel the stretch in your hamstrings with a small pause.
Admittedly I have pretty good mobility to begin with everywhere else, and just tight hamstrings from sitting on my ass for 2+ years. I am a big believer in that the best way to gain the required mobility for an exercise or activity is to just do the exercise itself, slowly and controlled. Over time your brain will learn that the extremes of the different positions are "safe", and there you go you have better mobility.

Awesome response, thanks
You gotta add resistance to your stretches. Just stretching won't do much. Do weighted stretches.
Ok, will do
Show me one example of someone drastically improving their hamstring flexibility. In the world of fitness youtubers and yoga explosion you would think it would be easy to find. Go fricking try.
Been doing this along with calf and quad stretches every other day for a month. Went from not getting anywhere close to my toes to being able to touch them barely.
Also doing yoga and can almost get my heel flat down on the ground in down dog. Soon I'll achieve that too
