No one is mentioning how the way the arrows are animated and rotate is one of the most helpful visual cues that not many fitness youtubers use (or use well). They make the already solid content so much easier to understand.

you got a charismatic way of speaking and teaching. Thanks for sharing this.

The level of information coach provides is always top tier 🔥

My tight hamstrings and inner thighs have been preventing me from achieving certain yoga poses, particularly pancake. I've been working on it for weeks with little progress, but this video has been incredibly helpful. The visual cues with the arrows showing how each muscle should be engaged are exactly what I needed.

Pubic bone on the floor!!! This is an OMG moment!!😃 YES!!

Your physique is simply on another level.

I really wish every influencer was articulate as you. The trend is to talk in a medium-to-high voice, adopt a slightly higher word pace, and pretend that you know what a science is, haha.

hey, first of all, really great video! For me personally pnf and passive stretching did not work that much. I actually saw significant progress when I started treating my flexibility training like actual strength training. I mainly used the leg adductor machine you have in most gyms and did reps of those trying to open my legs as far as possible and then contracting. I now have the full middle splits after years of unsuccessful training (with not high enough intensity). I think by strengthening the muscles (for me the adductors) in the end range of the middle split our body realizes it is a save position to be in + I don't really need to do a big warm up to get into my splits (I think that is also due to actually having control in the range).

I love dynamic stretches! Long passive ones just leave me feeling really sleepy.

This video is top tier!

Your dog is so adorable

I am commenting here before watching the whole video because I know that you guide us in best possible way thanks 🙏

Great video. Pancake was always the most useful progression for me. Even now I still always do pancake before middle splits. I do an oversplit pancake before a middle split oversplit. It has always been the most useful entry for me, with the least amount of injuries. I understand the benefits of PNF, but over the years I've picked up injuries because of it. It's too easy to be aggressive. I prefer other ways of increasing strength in the extended range, including resistance bands, long lunges and Cossacks etc.

"The anatomical structure of your hips is not what is holding you back. What's holding you back is your unwillingness to buy my program" - every fitness guru on the Internet - 4:35 elevated pankake w/ yoga blocks 6:27 slow dynamic passive stretches; 2-to-4 sets: side lounge, frog w/ sliders, frog squats v wall 7:46 PNF 9:25 Frog PNF 9:47 standing hamstring PNF 11:00 active stretch (fire hydrant) Sequence: 14:29 dynamic: standing pancake slides (toes point forward, horizontal torso); cossack swap (toes point otward, vertical torso); squatting pike warmup 14:50 static: runner's stretch; side runner stretch slides; 15:15 PNF: frog; 15:25 dynamic: elevated pancake reps 15:30 static: middle split on back v wall Anyway, no advice on warming up before anything -_-. Why am I not surprised?

This man is amazing at what he does.

Thank you brother. I will practice it.❤

Beauty Thanks so much. Never seen someone talk with knowledge like that about middle split as you. Would appreciate pancake tutorial as well.

Very useful information! Thank you. 👍🏻

Thanks again, you gave me some advice that I Definitely needed!!🙌🏿😊🧘🏾‍♂️💚🐲

Started my mid splits journey this week. What awesome timing - going to follow this guidance 100% 12:55 --> had to time stamp the frustrated bit

Great video, thank you so much!

Following the bill wallace méthode since 1990, i did that during 30 years. But à 54 years old, the tendon of the harmstring get split ! And now is médical treatment on medical treatment !

Mannn, seeing you do those splits you're making me have "thoughts", lol 😂❤🎉

Excellent.

Thanks for your videos but I am women and 65 years old, I try to make plates, yoga. Your action iş very nice, usefull, I like.Please make slowly and step by step.Loves from Turkey

Thank you for motivation!! I need to be patient, my progress is so slow.. I keep feeling pain on the outside of my hips, I wonder if it’s just my skeletal structure.. I will keep practicing

Coach is a beast

Thank you superb video

This is top notch content. You deserve a million subscribers. Can i ask how you edit your videos witg the arrow annotations?

Great! New to me: the knees should follow the head/shoulders. My middle-split target has always been to be able to slide into it coming from a straight up standing position, knees pointing forward, torso upright. I am going to guess that your definition leads to a healthier split and I'll try that out.

This is so informative!! Thank you!!

Awesome. Thanks coach.

Doing the same video clothed and seeing drop in views of about 70%. That tells a lot about what really drive attention.

Were you a dancer or a gymnast by any chance? You’re strong yet so graceful!

I started with rhe handstand video and the kick up video, the came to this video. The arrow explanation of the middle splitt opened a new door for me to progress through. That was a good que 🙂 you have worked hard at your skills and your videoes are a statement of your hard work. And its free for everyone. So thank you for the hours you spent on this. It will help allot of people with their goals 🎉 @choachbachmann

What is the brand of the shorts Coach! They look good and thanks for the very useful video. On other words I am at flexibility frustration mode, making very very small progress at pancake training with my trainer pushing me on our 1-1 but when I train alone, whilst I feel it in y hamstrings I just cannot seem to get that deep :( help!

Good efforts and knowledge Coach! What do you think of Pilates workouts ? plan to cover them in details if possible c

Beyond

Brilliant

The best!

great advice

That pug though 😂😂😂❤

Good

I have a problem with the hip mobility. I don't feel any stretch when I try to rotate my hip, but only bone resistance. Like for my right ankle, which don't make progress compared to my left.

Saludos. Gracias or tan excelenete explicación sobre los estiramientos de piernas. Pregunto: Cuantas veces hay que estirar los musculos de las piernas a la semana ? y dos Cauntos minutos hay que estirar las piernas y su dirabilidad. Mis saludos y Mis respeto Desde venezuela. Hilario Carmona. Gracias. Muy amable ***** Greetings. Thank you for such an excellent explanation about leg stretches. I ask: How many times should you stretch your leg muscles a week? and two minutes you have to stretch your legs and their maneuverability. My greetings and my respect from Venezuela. Hilario Carmona. Thank you. Very kind *****

This is so cool, I don't even know if I should like this video, if everyone knew this, attaining a Middle Split would be hardly impressive anymore, would it? - Just kidding :P But honestly: I have seldom found good instructions for stretching, and this video puts the bar really high...

@12:24 I will have to call animal abuse on you for holding your dog like that? 😆 Joke. Great info here.

So from novice to split, how long, I know varies from person to person, but just an educated guess?

Keeping both feet flat to the floor gets the best s t r e t c h

I have a question. Once you learn and master split, does the ability stay with you (almost) forever, or do the muscles close up quickly if you stop stretching regularly?

Frenchie!!

Well, very well proportioned coach with excellent flexibility. But this info delivered here was aimed at only for top notch trainers. The advice given did not open to me all. 😰 And been doing sports, including stretching long time! Haha.

Do you recommend more doing the side split with toes pointing up (like you do) than with toes pointing forward like I saw in many other tutorials?

Also - being a PowerBottom helps

Day 1: Suggested training in the last, started from today, moments ago writing this msg, let's see.. As usual, felt locked while trying frog pose. Mentioned that in early video too. Not able to rotate my femur joint while doing pancake not even in elevated position. Am I the only one experience above?

I can comfortably do a mid split but I would like to get deeper i.e. Bring the hips at least to the same line or forwards over the legs. What is the exercise u suggest?

Woo

Just wondering because i can’t do the full Asian squat. It’s impossible to get the middle splits right? Somebody who can Asian squat might not eh able to do the middle splits. Is there such a case one can do the middle splits but cannot Asian squat?

Are you near of perfect physically or mentally?

Sir me bhut koisis krta hu lekin mere pure per nhi khulte farnt ke to pure kul jate h Kya kru Hindi me bola kro

My legs hurts the most and i stop there sir.. middle splits seems always impossible to me because of my tight legs

Hola porque no haces la rutina de los mejores ejercicios para uno hacerla contigo

What if your outer glutes spasm when trying to open as wide as possible sitting upright on the floor?

How often do you do the routine?

The dog lollll

Hai.. its very difficult for me i am 41 years old. Can i do it😊

Do you have a vid planned for how you get the trapezoid/rectangle body you have? I got like a 26” waist but broad shoulder so I look more like a dorito but wanna be thicc like u

I've been trying to do a split for 20 years. I'm never going to be able to do any of this

you're a Jean Claude Van Damme

I like your video,,, but I love your French bulldog

Why would I do that 😮

Porque no traduces en español

Genetics!

I couldn't turn my knees in the pancake but by the end of the video they are wiggling!

Okey. How old are you ?

hard to listen and confused keeps jumping back and forth and the message is confused. Valid points but you got to keep repeating bits in order to get the message

Why?

why is he shirtless? 🤣

MUST BE A FORMER BALLET DANCER ?

NON MALE (NOT BAD).

You only demonstrating how U can do pancake and split, and not really give new information of how a normal person can achieve what u achieved. Disappointing, to much bragging in this video

Won't ever happen unless you're age 1 to 16! He's lying to u morans!

Please do not speak very much
