Front splits in 70 days! How-to
Переглядів 333 місяці тому
Then the splits were also achieved! :) For me, the front splits were much easier physically than the full side split, though it was mentally challenging to stretch in “two directions” when the side split was only in one direction.

Hey man good lift. What are you some tips you can give to a guy who sucks at leg drive and is mainly doing larsen? My squat max is 180x1 cant deadlift due to problems and my ohp max is 80x2. my bench is 120x1 but i just can't seem to progress? Thanks!
@@TheNameIsFreddy Hi and thank you for the compliment!:) If your goal is to get bigger and stronger, doing Larsen instead of using leg drive is perfectly fine I’d say. I do Larsen as well sometimes to get more focus on pecs. If your goal is to compete or simply that you want to get better with leg drive, I’d say that you should work on that with lower weight and focus on the technique. I’d love to help you out, but it is difficult if I don’t see your current technique and what area to focus on. Do you have any videos of your bench press with leg drive that I can see? :) Regardless of if you want to get better at leg drive or if you want to continue with Larsen, I’d say that it is usually good to work on a weight that you can do around 5reps with slow eccentric movements. Another good thing for getting bigger and stronger is to make a short pause when the bar touch the chest :) Hope that helped! Good luck!:)
@@ironswede91 I appreciate that you took your time and responded with so much text. I sadly don't have a video but i can try to get one in the future. Basically my larsen is as good as my bench or really close. I'd lower to get stronger but I dont really care about competing. My goal is just 140kg bench. My best is 100x8 with legdrive and 100x7 without. So the difference is barely any.
@@TheNameIsFreddy A video would be helpful! For me, I achieve good leg drive by doing the following steps. Maybe you can incorporate some of these into your setup: 1. Find a good place for your feet, as far back as feels comfortable with your heels still on the ground. (Don’t push your feet too far back.) 2. Create a lot of tension in your lats and delts so that your spine and lower back aren’t touching the bench. 3. Lift your butt as high as possible. I also stand on my toes to get higher. At the same time, take a deep breath and brace your core. 4. Unrack the bar and lift it above you. 5. Lower your heels and slowly lower your butt until it touches the bench (but still with no real pressure on the bench). This gives me a lot of tension from my legs all the way to my pecs. A good way to check if you have tension in your legs after step 5 is to have a friend gently wiggle your knees. They shouldn’t move much. Another tip that helped me with leg drive is to place your feet a little wider and angle your toes slightly outward. Good luck!:)
Starkt och bra jobbat! 💪
Tack!:) ja det kändes skönt att äntligen öka från 160kg, som jag varit fast på ett tag :)
TRAINING SESSION 1 A gym buddy mentioned he was practicing handstands. It sounded fun, so I joined the challenge as well. Since I wasn't afraid of being upside down or "falling over," I skipped several progression steps and started practicing directly on the ground without a wall. The training session lasted about 30 minutes. Afterward, I had such sore wrists and was so sweaty that I called it a day. In the afternoon/evening, I started studying the theory and various progressions for mastering handstands. TRAINING SESSION 2 During the day, I continued studying the theory. I reflected on session 1 and tried to remember the feeling when it felt good and what to focus on for session 2. During the training session, I tried to stretch more to be as tall, straight, and rigid as possible. This gymnast variant didn't feel good for me because my shoulders are too stiff to be perfectly straight. I decided to go back to a more arched position with slightly bent legs (more of a CrossFit variant) for the next session. This session lasted about 45 minutes. TRAINING SESSION 3 During the day, I continued with the theory. In the training session, I practiced finding the "sweet spot" for balancing without falling over or falling back. I found the right position a few times but had difficulty maintaining it. TRAINING SESSION 4 I found the sweet spot more easily by locking my shoulders/traps and starting in more of an "over-falling" position before kicking up into the handstand. Once I found the right position, it became easier to compensate with my fingertips to avoid falling over. TRAINING SESSION 5 Terrible muscle soreness in my shoulders and traps from a hard shoulder workout at the gym and all the handstand practice. I decided to rest for a few days before the next training session. TRAINING SESSION 6 It was much easier to find the sweet spot. I didn't make many attempts that day, but the ones I did felt really good! I’m starting to feel it’s easier to stay in the right position by first kicking up into a handstand so that I almost fall over, then compensating by applying steady pressure with my fingertips to avoid falling back. In previous sessions, I compensated with my fingertips in bursts instead of steady pressure. TRAINING SESSION 7 I started to get a lot of pain in my wrists and ring finger joint. I took it easy and didn't train for long. TRAINING SESSION 8 I began to have severe pain in the abductor digiti minimi (little finger abductor). I tried placing my hand at a gentler angle by raising the palm slightly. It still hurt, so I decided to rest for 2 days before the next session. TRAINING SESSION 9 I tried using the gym's parallettes to keep my hand in a neutral position so I could continue training, but the gym's parallettes weren't designed for my weight or for handstands, so I trained cautiously. The pain was there but significantly milder than with my palm on the ground. It was very challenging, and it felt like I had to start from scratch because I couldn’t balance with my fingertips. I ordered my own parallettes that can support my weight, don’t slide around on the floor, and don't tip over. TRAINING SESSIONS 10-13 I practiced getting the right force in my legs for the "kick-up" with parallettes. It felt like there is much less margin for adjusting balance on parallettes, but more power to adjust and correct balance. TRAINING SESSION 14 I practiced getting both legs up as quickly as possible. Even if it felt like a poor kick-up with the left leg, I completed the movement and brought the right leg up as quickly as possible, which gave me more swing to get into the right position even if the kick-up was too weak. I find it easier to have a slightly too strong kick-up and then slow down with my wrists to find balance. TRAINING SESSION 15 I visualized the previous training session in my head and thought about the attempts that felt good. I replayed these good attempts in my head on repeat until I felt ready to apply them physically. It went without much trouble and felt really good :)
great set!
Thank you:)
Imponerande! 🤟👍
Alltid trevligt att vara lite vig :)
Then the splits were also achieved! :) For me, the front splits were much easier physically than the full side split, though it was mentally challenging to stretch in “two directions” when the side split was only in one direction. From day 1 of stretching to successful front splits: 1/5 to 19/6 (for left foot forward) and 1/5 to 29/6 (for right foot forward) 50 days for left foot forward. 60 days for right foot forward. Total number of stretching days: 29 for left foot forward and 39 for right foot forward. Total number of rest days: 21. Preparations: A few days of research regarding stretching exercises and planning for stretching/rest days. A warm-up program for the front splits was created with exercises and time for each exercise determined. The exercises I did were the same from day 1 to successful front splits, although I adjusted the intensity and duration a bit depending on how the body felt each day. The exercises consisted of: A warm-up exercise for hamstrings (for each leg) and a warm-up exercise for quads (for each leg), then the splits themselves. Days 1-9 Muscle soreness primarily in the quads, but not as much in the hamstrings. I think the hamstrings are quite flexible thanks to the already achieved side split :) Day 10 Started to notice significant progress and increased depth a lot. Day 11 Started using a massage gun in every stretching session. Day 19 Changed the routine to stretch 90-100% of max stretch. 2x5 minutes for each leg and exercise. Day 33 Booked a massage to further loosen up for the front splits. Day 37 Left calf touches the floor. Right was not quite on the floor yet. Day 43 Started using the sauna after gym sessions but before stretching. Also started the “Wim Hof” breathing technique and cold shower challenge this day (might have had a positive impact on stretching). Day 50 Left front split achieved! Days 51-59 Stretched the right front split every day! Day 60 Right font split achieved!
From day 1 of stretching to a successful split: October 18, 2021, to January 13, 2022 88 days. Total number of stretching days: 60 days Total number of rest days: 28 (maximum of 5 consecutive days, otherwise as needed) Preparations: About 1 week of intensive study of anatomy and physics to maximize split progression (i.e., watched UA-cam :P) A warm-up program for the split was created with exercises and time allocated for each exercise. Weeks 1-2 Warm-up before the split itself for about 20 minutes, then active stretching at 80-100% of maximum stretch for about 30 minutes. During the first few days, I experienced extreme muscle soreness, especially in the glutes and groin. The soreness was so intense that I had difficulty walking and woke up at night because of it. On October 29, I booked a personal training session to check if my plan was okay and if I was heading in the right direction. I adjusted the warm-up a bit based on the PT session. Weeks 3-6 Applied PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) during the warm-up and the split itself. Also started using a massage gun to further loosen the muscles. Made significant progress in the depth of the split, but it took a long time to "get up from the split" and walk normally. Weeks 7-8 Felt that progress had stalled in terms of how deep I could go in the split, but it no longer took time to "get up from the split" and walk normally, so my body and CNS seemed to have become comfortable with the depth. Weeks 9-10 Varied split stretching from standing to seated split and pancake split. Varying these three helped me go even deeper. Also started stretching only on Wednesdays (after squat day) and Saturdays (after deadlift day). Stretching on these days was always at 100% of maximum stretch. Week 11 On December 30, I booked another PT session to help with the pancake split and get tips on how to optimize it in the future. I continued to vary the three different split stretches, focusing on the standing split. Week 12 Warmed up for about 40 minutes and stretched for about 30 minutes until I FINALLY got into the split! :))
Holy shit!!!!!!! Bro do a bench press tutorial!!!!!
That’s very kind of you to say that :) There are many great tutorials out there, but maybe I should make one as well. Any specific techniques that you would like me to talk about and show?:)
@@ironswede91 Just standard. Nothig too fancy. Noticed your narrow grip, why? Instead of say a wider one. Moreover, I have seen you have formidable strenght in all basics. How have you been programming your training thus far? Thanks! And btw, no need to thank anything.
It seems that, for some reason, I never receive notifications for answers, only for original posts. I apologize for the very late reply; I need to go through and check if I have missed any other responses. Regarding narrow vs. wide grip: - A wider grip results in a smaller range of motion (ROM) since the bar starts closer to the chest when unracked. However, it places more pressure on the shoulders, which are smaller muscles compared to the pecs. - A narrower grip results in a larger ROM and places more emphasis on the triceps. I found that the sweet spot for me is somewhere in between, which might be too narrow for some and too wide for others. Regarding the progression and programming for my bench press: I alternate between different progressions that I have created. The basic one is simple: stay at a weight until I can do 5 reps, then increase the weight by 10kg and stay there until I can do 5 reps, and so on. The other progression is a bit more complex and focuses more on achieving a one-rep max (1RM). Try different methods until you find what is best for you :)
Snyggt!
Tack :) riktigt bra dagsform, så då är det bara att pusha
Starkt! Sällan man ser folk pressa tresiffrigt i militärpress. Upplever du att bänkpressen för över mycket styrka till militärpressen?.
Tack!:) sant, dessutom så är det nästan ingen som kör militärpress på gymmet jag är på :/ Absolut att bänkpressen för över styrka. Dock också upplever jag att mina traps har blivit mycket starkare, och att de aktiverad mycket i militärpress. Så mest tack vare traps skulle jag säga :)
extremely strong strict ohp!
Thx! I haven’t done the ohp for a while, it felt really nice to hit shoulders again!:)
@@ironswede91 It's one of my favourites! I train it every week though I'm more focused on benching at the moment. I just hit 87kg @ 92kg bodyweight. similar technique, check out my channel if you have the chance!

Snyggt! Bra jävla styrka. En fråga. Varför kör du med benen uppåt?
Tack ska du ha!:) Jag kör benen upp när jag kör volym-block, Jag upplever mer kontakt i pecs med benen upp, då jag inte kan ha någon hjälp av leg-drive eller spänning i rygg,

Thank you. I was 114kg at that time according to my weight log. I am 193cm
ett kvarts ton!!!! satan vad starkt!
Good job
Thanks :)
Grymt jobbat!. Jag tror att 130 Kg är en bra nivå att jobba med om man maxar runt 160Kg. Kör själv bänk just nu 2-3 ggr i veckan på den nivån och har gjort några intressanta upptäckter utifrån hur min kropp svarar så kan inte tala för alla för alla är olika. Det verkar som det främst handlar om att samla reps på en viss nivå för att styrkan ska öka, men behöver inte vara till failure då nervsystemet då lättare blir trött och då orkar man inte pumpa in så många sets på samma vikt. Brukar spara 2 reps i reserv per set och 80% till 85% av 1Rep Max verkar vara den mest effektiva nivån för folk som bänkar över 140Kg. Antalet sets per vecka ligger mellan 10 till 15ish. Sets med 4 reps på 80-83 % och 5 min vila mellan sets är till min erfarenhet dom mest produktiva sessionerna. 1 dag är brett grepp, dag 2 smalt och tredje medium. En av mina veckor för bänken kan se ut såhär: Måndag, Mellan grepp + paus 5x4 reps 128Kg. Torsdag: Smalt grepp + paus 4x5 117Kg. Lördag: Mellan grepp +paus 6x4 128.5Kg. Sedan ökar jag vikterna med 0.5 Kg och fortsätter likadant nästa vecka och så länge det går att öka i den takten. Ibland kan jag köra en slags pyramid om jag bara bänkar 2 dagar i veckan med 3x3 + 4x4 första dagen och bänk med smalt grepp 4x5 på den andra. 3:orna är 85-87.5% och 4:orna 80-83%. Målet är att kunna bänka minst 170Kg i år men jag tror det är smart att inte ha för bråttom, det är viktigt att hålla sig skadefri och inte glömma att senor och ligament behöver också tid att bli starkare. Ett halvt kilo mer på ens 4:or varje vecka tror jag är en rimlig takt då den innebär 25kg på ett helt år. Hoppas att du finner något av det jag skrivit som användbart, det är skoj att följa dina videos så ville dela lite eget med. Har själv släppt lite videos men är oftast för lat annars :)
Starkt 💪 finns det en anledning till varför du håller emot på nedvägen även med så tunga vikter? 😁 Vet att många andra bara brukar släppa där annars

Galet stark 💪
Tack ska du ha! :)
Nice jobbat! Om du som jag upplever att dom riktigt tunga seten blir svårare att återhämta sig från, ta längre vila och arbeta mer på böjen. Det funkar för mig, marklyft blir bara dyrare för återhämtningen ju tyngre dom blir. 4 sets tunga 3or tar minst tre veckor för mig att återhämta mig från men då kan jag lasta på minst 5 kg mer.
Tack ska du ha!:) Uppskattar verkligen dina tips! Yes jag funderar på att skippa var eller varannan mark när jag kör styrke-schemat. Jag tänker att nu när jag kör volym i några månader, så behöver jag kanske inte 3-4 veckors vila mellan mark, men kanske en vecka här och där. Vad tänker du?:)
@@ironswede91 Jag tror det är klokt att testa sig fram. När kroppen är helt återställd efter ett gäng tunga sets marklyft så tar man en lugnare vecka eller flera efter, man kör fortfarande marklyft men känns uppvärmningen tung så är det tecken på att kroppen behöver mer vila. Dom passen blir mer då som aktiv vila bara för att se vart i återhämtningen man befinner sig. Jag brukar slänga in lite rumänska marklyft och SumoMark i en sån period då det inte kostar lika mycket på nervsystemet. Funkar fint 💪
Jag hörde Eddie hall prata om att det tar 2 v att återhämta sej, jag kör ett pass som du på denna videon sen nästa vecka mer 3 x 3 på 70% av maxlyftet plus lite kettlebellswings för explosiviteten. @@ironswede91

Jävlar va stark, vad väger du?
@ironswede91 Oj ja trodde inte du vägde så mycke för du ser väldigt lean ut, då förstår man att du tränat ett tag, mycke muskler som gör upp vikten! Jag bulkar just nu, väger 69 ungefär, ska nog gå upp till 74-75kg. Då ligger jag runt 20% BF skulle ja tro. Förresten, brukar du bulka och cutta, eller går du sakta upp i vikt och behåller samma %BF? I mitt fall så tänkte jag stanna på 74-75kg ett tag och bygga muskler men det verkar som många tycker man borde göra en cut direkt efter bulken, jag ser inte riktigt poängen med det men vad tycker du?
ja har sedan 6 år, fört en viktlogg en gång i veckan. från 2018-2022 så gick jag upp 16,8kg (när jag började gymma) från 2022-2023 så gick jag upp 5,3kg från 2023-2024 så gick jag upp 3,3kg. Jag ser även att jag skrev fel på min vikt, det ska vara 117kg och inte 107kg, sorry! Jag tycker att det kommer bli väldigt spännande att se hur detta kommer att utvecklas! :) För du någon vikt/mått logg?
