    This is legit. I can't count the amount of people I know who did static stretching for years on end, without improving their splits in any measurable way. Get strong in extreme positions and your body/brain feels safer and will let you improve. Great stuff guys

      Absolutely! I tried really hard for many years in yoga doing static stretches and it overworked some muscles and then they'd tighten up and I think I got less flexible but these routines I can see and feel I'm getting better

      we will get there ;) don't try to rush the process though, I still do a lot of those front splits exercises from the beginner routine. A big mistake people make is trying to get to more advanced exercises too quickly

    My bro, I love how true the video is, I used to work as a gymnastics mobility/flexibility coach for 4 years and I completely feel your pain watching and had a good laugh at the mental words you tell yourself.

      Thanks for the kind words :) We actually sold Unity Gym and provide all our coaching via a mobile app. Which is why this video is filmed from my home office. If you want to learn more about the UMS and the app you can check it out here. unitygym.com Maybe we will host some workshops soon because we're getting a lot of enquiries about face to face training.

    thankyou these workouts take a lot to get my head around , I teach martial arts and being doing it for 8 years but got no where with my flexibility. This way off stretching is going to take time to go in but hopefully it gets me closer to my goals thankyou if you could do a daily stretching routine i would be very grateful.

    After we do a workout like this should we do static stretching straight after or even the day after?

    I've been training middle splits for about 2 years and a half. I recently realized extending the knees completely and internally rotating the hips with the hips back and body straight was messing my left hip and the inside of my knees. Stuff like this is something I wish icame across to instead of doing " half splits" at like 60 percent effort just for maintaining.

    My hips don't allow me to go down beyond a certain point without an anterior pelvic rotation. Pretty sure most people are like that. Not sure how I'm supposed be straight up with my feet pointed forward.

    • @UnityGymOnline
      @UnityGymOnline  Рік тому

      It takes time bro. We have to remove the neural inhibitors that prevent flexibility and that can't be rushed. However, you're watching an intermediate middle splits workout. This beginner workout may be better for you ua-cam.com/video/3wt5W_aEUjs/v-deo.html

    • @Raeodor
      @Raeodor Рік тому

      @UnityGymOnline I've done that one too. The problem is the posterior pelvic tilt. If I do that I get bone on bone contact. It's just normal hip bone mechanics.

    • @UnityGymOnline
      @UnityGymOnline  Рік тому

      @Raeodor yes and no. You will always go deeper with an anterior tilt due to hip mechanics.
      However we get a more targeted adductor stretch/strength when we train with a neutral pelvis (not a posterior tilt).
      We use anterior tilt in later progressions.

    Thanks a lot for the video, this is is an amazing content, I'm also doing the beginner video as well, I have a question: In the first exercise, when we are driving the knees to the ground, should I contract resisting to the weights or I should pull my knees directly to the ground by forcing the glutes?

      I couldn't say without looking at what you're doing, which is where coaching come into the picture. You could be pushing too hard. You could be not going full range of motion when you strength train, you could be not doing the techniques correctly, you could be not going to extreme end range when contracting your antagonist muscles ...
