yeah but you are "our idiot!"
Just glad to be part of the team!
I have found for myself that OS Rocks with my knees together help out my tight hips....
There's a lot of rocking in the tactical frog (which is part of EYFS), though it's knees apart - I agree, has been really good for the hips. Up till a few month ago, it felt like I could only fold forward if my back bent/rounded, now I at least feel like I'm getting some pressure on the hip without bending the back. Slow progress, but progress nonetheless.
I'm planning to start doing some OS reset stuff between movements on max strength days, since everybody seems to swear by them. I've never done them myself, but I have the book, just haven't sort of planned out a "sequence" yet. If I don't plan it, it's too easy to get distracted - forget what I did last time, etc.
i do "the couch" hip flexor stretch after every session helps a lot!
Interesting... I do a lunge stretch and a quad stretch that seem to be two halves of this. Wonder if I could hit them both with a single stretch here.
I just started using a belt and wrapping it around my feet to help keep my back straight when doing my fold...
Do you mean you then grab the belt in your hands for some stability?
I've been wondering about things like that... I can at least reach far enough to grab my toes, so in principle I could grab them as an anchor to try to stabilize a bit, and then try to relax into it more... but at the same time, I sort of like the feeling of actively trying to force myself forward with just leg/core musculature (i.e. no hands), it feels like I'm making something stronger. I've been trying to feel that on all my static stretches - some sort of pull or pry somewhere in the chain while other stuff attempts to relax. Not saying that's the best way, of course... I'm certainly no expert on flexibility.
Thanks for the pointers.
