Flexibility Stretching Test How Much Flexibility Do You REALLY NEED
So how much flexibility do you really need? www.EasyFlexibility.com
Say you want a 180 degree Penche or a Side Tilt. Or to hold a head high Martial Arts Kick to your friends face.
If you can do full split is that enough for a 180 Tilt?
Is being able to stretch to your buddy's head, enough for the kick you want?
The answer is no. See the video and read further explanation below:
Muscle resistance starts long before the end range. How high can you lift your arm overhead? Can it go higher if someone helped you?
Chances are: Yes.
That is because your lats and other muscles pull down, like elastic bands. Same thing happen at your hip, core, ankle, etc.
The more you go past the relaxed range, the more antagonists (deltoids to lats, hip flexors to hamstrings, abductors to adductors) will pull back down. And to get a better relaxed range, you need more flexibility.
For example (not to scale) 150 degree max range, the resistance starts at 110-120, sometime even under 100. For 180 it starts at 140-160.
So how much do you need to feel no resistance at 180?
Chances are you will still feel it at 180 even if you can do over 200. But the more you can do, the less resistance you will feel. This means more effortless technique. Less injury. More grace, speed, power, etc.
Tip: Antagonists short range strength is great, but it can only compensate so much. Flexibility is the easier way to go and with EasyFlexibility, it's actually easy. If you want more flexible hamstrings here you go. Splits here you go.

Front Splits Open Turned Out Front Split Differences Between Splits
https://www.easyflexibility.com Open Front Split may not be as pretty as a Squared Front Split or a Side Split, but it sure get's work done.
Called by another name a Turned Out Front Split, is an important foundation for many disciplines such as Dance, Martial Arts, and Figure Skating. Various techniques in these and other sports and disciplines can benefit great from this Split.
However an Open Front Split is really two splits. One resembling more of a Side Split and the other more of a True (Squared) Front Split.
Can you Spot the difference?
1. For example a Dancer Performing a Penche is actually finds herself in a something resembling a True Front Split, with a rear leg turned out.
2. While a Martial Artist is in a Side Split with one leg turned in.
So what difference does this make? Well, in the two cases stated above different muscles are lengthened. Think about it. Having to turn a hip out vs having to turn the hip in. Further more, not only different muscles are lengthened, different muscles are contracted to move into and keep the position.
A dancer is lengthening the medial rotators (Adductors, Pectineus, TFL) and contracting the lateral rotators (Gluteus Maximus, Deep Six) . While a martial artist is lengthening lateral rotator of the hip (In the given position, Quadratus Femoris is under most stretch) and tensing medial rotators (Gluteus Medius and Minimus and Tensor Fascia Latae).
So while the two Open Front Splits look the same, they are not. This is evident by the fact that a Dancer's side kick looking like Penche and Martial Artist Penche Looking Like a Side Kick on first attempt.
So while a True Front Split and Side Split look cool. It's often the Open Front Split that get's the work done. Depending on what you are doing of course.

adductor magnus: One of the strongest muscles in the human body!
Adductor Magnus is one of the strongest muscles in the human body! It’s hard to stretch by force, it is much easier to stretch kinesiologically, the reason for that is because it is really two muscles and when taken apart by their actions and lines of pull, they are much easier to stretch, making the progress into a side split a lot faster! Our Side Split program can get your Adductor Magnus there fast, easy and safe! Want to learn more about the muscles involved in the side split? Ready to begin your EasyFlexibility Journey?

Stuck in your flexibility progress? The Adductor Longus muscle may be the problem
Adductor Longus one of 20 muscles involved in a SIDE SPLIT is one of the few paradoxical muscles in the hip, it both flexes and extends the hip and if that wasn’t enough it also medially rotates, adducts and horizontally adducts the hip. The muscle can become strained or pulled if stretching the wrong way, resulting in what is commonly known as a groin pull. To prevent injuries while working on getting your splits it’s important to stretch the RIGHT WAY which is why we have created the essentials package to give you a straight to the point step by step instructions on getting your splits, and at $4.95 it’s the best investment that you can make for your body.

Is hamstrings Flexibility really necessary for a side split?
Is hamstrings Flexibility really necessary for a side split?
While they are not lengthened as much as the adductors, in a turnout position, hamstrings do adduct the femur, meaning pull it towards the center line. A straddle is when each leg is moved 90 degrees away from the center line. Medial Hamstrings are stretched more than lateral, because of the turnout at the hip. A special Zaichik Stretching Technique called “Peace” targets both hamstrings, while a Zaichik Stretching Technique called “Content” targets the medial hamstrings, specifically. Doing a side split requires the flexibility of these muscles and with our Splits programs these muscles will be stretched the RIGHT way!

Which hamstrings stretching techniques should you start with?
The Zaichik Stretching Techniques (ZST’s) called “Peace”, is responsible for thousands upon thousands flexible hamstrings around the world. Peace targets both the medial and the lateral hamstrings, and takes advantage of the fact that the hamstrings is a flexor of the knee and extensor of the hip, no rotation takes place when performing this ZST.
It’s an important and necessary stretch for fast hamstrings flexibility. However, it’s a technique that takes a few attempts to get a feel for and learn how to do it properly. The biggest challenge of this technique is that there are two joints to be moved the hip and the knee. Joints have to be moved in proper relation to each other to allow the muscle to lengthen.
The simplest way to understand this technique is to start either standing with a foot resting on a chair or lifted object, or to do this sitting. While this technique is extremely effective when performed in a supine position or while lying down on the back, and the back is taken out of the equation while in the supine position, the technique is more challenging to understand, while on the back and thus more difficult to perform at first. The actions of the joints are a lot more clearer when a person is sitting or standing. In a supine position, it's very easy to confuse the extension of the knee with the extension of the hip and the knee together, and flexion of the hip with, again extension of the knee and the hip together. Any three of these actions can be used (just the knee extension, just the hip flexion, or the knee and hip movement together).
Mistakes are often made such as moving the leverage out of the stretch instead of into the stretch, moving the leverage too far back as there’s movement into the target, target and leverage is moved at the same time, and so on. In a standing or sitting position usually dropping the knee down into a straight leg vs flexing the hips are used as target and leverage. Either dropping the knee down or moving the body toward the leg can be used as the target of leverage. Most beginners prefer to drop the knee as leverage and move the body forward as a target, this is simply because most people understand hamstring flexibility as moving the torso towards the legs, and thus both visually and kinesthetically this becomes their desired target.

Heavy leg doing a Developpe? This technique will change that!
Does your leg feel heavy while doing a developpe? Would you like to know how to solve this? Then take a look at the ZST technique called Content. It's an exercise from the EasyFlexibility method which targets the muscles responsible for this issue: the semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles, better known as Inner Hamstrings.
These muscles are situated on the back of the thigh, extending from the tuberosity of the ischium down just below the knee joint, on the medial aspect of the posterior surface.
Since they are big muscles, they are usually what people have the most trouble with, and they require a specialized approach.
The EasyFlexibility ZST is performed in two steps which repeat for a few reps: first extend your leg as if you were kicking up with your heel, allowing a very light stretch, and as you come back to the starting position bring your leg closer to your torso. You will notice that this actually comes naturally, and that you can get deeper and deeper with every rep. Remember to do both sides and start slow listening to your body!

Front Lever Mastery http://easyflexibility.com/products/front-lever-mastery
Front Lever is a beautiful skill attesting to one's core, back and triceps strength. It's been said that for thousands of people who can do over 20 push ups, only a few can hold a front lever. The reason for those odds is not so much strength, but progression. Not many athletes know how to progress to the desired front lever.
It's a fact that the same progression sequence does not work the same for everyone. The reason for this has to do with individual strengths and prior training. A bodyweight athlete with strong core will have different challenges than a pro-rower with upper strong back.
Our program offers many different progression for unique needs of each trainee. At the same time, additional exercises are included to help break through plateaus. To top that off, special conditioning exercises are taught. These exercises allow the athletes to progress fast and avoid injuries.

How to Planche Progression Muscle Anatomy Training Program EasyFlexibility
http://easyflexibility.com/products/planche-mastery
Planche Mastery
Anyone witnessing a full planche for the first time is mesmerized by this surreal exhibition of strength. The body seems to be flowing above the floor. Being able to hold this position attests to incredible shoulder flexors, and posterior chain strength. Part of the reason why this skill is so mystical, is because very few people know how to properly train for it. Many people have injured their neck and shoulders by trying to get into the planch and hold it.
It's a fact that the same progression sequence does not work the same for everyone. The reason for this has to do with individual strengths and prior training. Some athletes may have strong shoulder, while other strong back extensors.
Our program offers many different progression for unique needs of each trainee. At the same time, additional exercises are included to help break through plateaus. To top that off, special conditioning exercises are taught. These exercises allow the athletes to progress fast and avoid injuries.
