@@UnityGymOnline you put so much effort and passion into this. Some may critique and criticize but just know you are on the right path ! I never even thought of putting a plate on my back as I pancake and yes it's uncomfortable but it feels so good !
Hi Rad! I had different periods in my flexibility training, but I'm ready to make a lifelong commitment, do you think I can continue where I left starting in stage 2, or do you recommend to "start" at stage 1?
The stage 1 - 20 minute mobility routine is good for anyone! It's something I still use today. Although, you'll probably want to progress to the flexibility masterclass stage 2 program after about 4 weeks. At that point, the 20 minute mobility routine become a warm up or something you do on rest days.
sorry to hear that, I can say with almost certainty that you're not performing the contractions correctly. Not only is the science clear on how and why end range antagonist contractions work so well, but it's a method we've used for years that worked for over 10,000 people around the world. But it only works if you contract VERY hard, and at absolute end range. Get the flexibility blueprint, it will teach you a lot :) you can grab it here, it's free: trial.unitygym.com/flexibility
Well must be something wrong with me. I have done weightlifting for 20 years it's not like I don't know how to contract hard and where my end range is. Maybe I desensitized the organ from all the years of pushing myself with weights......I also can't find the science that the golgi tendon organ should relax the opposing muscle. Only the muscle it's attached to.
He touches very lightly on the golgi and describes it as you get a relaxation during the contraction not after. Wich I do get. If I contract the atagonist duringt the stretch the stretch reflex dampens.@@UnityGymOnline
yep that's correct. And when you do that time and time again with deliberate intent, it has a far greater effect on flexibility than old school static stretching alone.

@facilityvalley that's really kind of you to say. Thanks so much for taking the time to write that comment 😊
Thank you
you're welcome, thanks for commenting :)
So how come we’re contracting with PPT in the active middle split when we need to be in anterior tilt in order to actually get the full middle split?
@amarmeshal7730 hits the muscles differently. When you build flexibility with a ppt and then you transition to an apt, you'll be much more flexible.

@@UnityGymOnline so helpful! thank you so much! the more I watch the more I like!
@@karlajimenez3200 awesome, so happy I can help!
Antagonist contraction doesn't work at all for me. Comparing it to contracting the muscle being stretch like in a standard PNF is like night and day.

@johanhansson4574 listen to the Andrew huberman podcast on flexibility.
