How To Improve Pancake Stretch - Easy Daily Compression Drill

In this video, we show you how to improve the pancake stretch using an easy daily compression drill
********🤸 check out my 3 part video series for a huge flexibility breakthrough trial.unitygym...
The pancake stretch is an integral part of calisthenics and gymnastics movement and the basis of most hamstring stretches for flexibility. Without a doubt, having a good pancake will also teach you how to get flexible hips.
This video is a full follow along stretching drill and with an easy pancake stretch tip that will improve your pancake stretch dramatically. This is the best way to get flexible fast because unlike many pancake stretch tutorial videos and flexibility routine for beginners it includes a full pancake stretch flexibility routine.
This is basically a yoga routine for beginners specifically designed to build flexibility and mobility for gymnastics and calisthenics.

I love your movement philosophy and ideology. If im ever in Australia im definately coming to train at Unity Gym!

[@UnityGymOnline]

Thanks Andreas … we appreciate you brother! Absolutely come hang with us when you get over here. We'd love that!

[@richardsolorio5910]

Excellent video!!!!!!!!!

[@UnityGymOnline]

Thanks Richard. Appreciate your feedback and support.

[@BeGrizzlyStrong]

Loading the passive part to the side would probably help build necessary strength.

[@UnityGymOnline]

it sure does :)

[@patrickquacinella6997]

I wish you were in Melbourne, thanks for the great videos very useful tutorial for the pancake 👍🙏

[@TheLordisMyDeliverer]

love this, awesome content !

[@UnityGymOnline]

Thanks Tyler, we appreciate your support.

[@johnswanson6790]

One time, while doing the pancake, I actually momentarily dislocated my hip! It scared the $%^& out of me. It popped right back fortunately, but I’ve been leery about doing this move ever since.

[@UnityGymOnline]

That sounds terrible John. It's very hard to dislocate your femur due to the depth and rigidity of the acetabular socket/joint. I hope you're ok!

[@edmai6451]

Awesome Vid🖒

[@UnityGymOnline]

Thank you.

[@brownrake3404]

Hey man, thanks for video ! Amazing content as always. How are pancakes different to splits and how can pancakes benefit martial artist and acrobats. Like middle and front splits give you high kicks, how are pancakes supposed to help and what moves do they help ? Thanks in advance

[@Detective313]

Press to handstand, planche, etc

[@basilsubh9608]

Hi Guys, great vid I'll be incorporating these into my compression work from today. Before getting into these drills are there any stretches (mobility or static) you recommend doing beforehand to assist with these? Cheers

[@UnityGymOnline]

Thanks for connecting Basil … we appreciate your support and feedback No, this is the first drill we do prior. Occasionally we do active mobility like Ostrich Walk or Jefferson Curls before. That helps. Also, ALWAYS get your heart rate up before any stretching. 60 seconds of high intensity cardio drills is sufficient.

[@basilsubh9608]

@@UnityGymOnline Cool thanks mate I'll definitely do that. Also I started doing these compression drills and man they make a big difference. Even people i train with were noticing the difference in my flexibility after it. Great advice!

[@UnityGymOnline]

Basil Subh awesome! That’s so good to hear 😃

[@ScottHeaney]

Where are the links to the rollers?

[@UnityGymOnline]

We'll get them up. Thanks for letting us know.

[@aiforeva211]

They never put the links up?

[@ScottHeaney]

@@aiforeva211 nope

[@OsmiumFist]

Thought it was bogan hunters when I first heard that voice but excellent video.

[@UnityGymOnline]

Hahahaha … that's the aussie accent shining through Dr Phil! Thanks for the feedback and support. We appreciate you!
