Why aren't you more flexible, /fit/? Every one of you should be able to at least touch your toes standing upright.
>>37918298
...y-you too...
>>37918298
You'd need some long ass arms to touch your toes standing upright
succ?
>>37918298
Can you recommend me a flexibility routine I can't touch my toes and I'd like to take jeet kune do classes next month
Should I do it after my work out or on a day dedicated to it ?
>>37918672
What you should do is everyday.
That being said im lazy and do random stretches like twice a week
>>37918298
i was born with a retarded right leg, toes are all crooked and hamstring is connected weird
>>37918325
what? is ridiculously easy to touch your toes standing up with your hands...
>>37918325
kek
>>37918784
google "standing upright" to see the problem
>>37918298
I'm bulking i.e. fat as fatass
>>37918792
Still see no issue?
>>37918812
When you bend over you're no longer standing upright
>>37918792
I see we are nitpicking words, my mistake.
>>37918298
>back snappers
Do that stretch sitting down guys just so everyone is clear
1m73, 120 kilos.
I can grab the tip of my shoes.
Come at me fags.
>>37918826
Yeah well that's because gravity forces you down when you bend over, that's cheating fatso
>>37918826
Prove it

>Implying being this flexible is common among fatties.
>not doing yoga for those mad flexibility/mobility gains
>not showing off your muscles and practicing your social skillz with the cute yoga girls
it's like you don't even want to make it anon
>>37918819
>nitpicking words
It's not nitpicking. Standing upright means one specific thing. The OP could just have avoided using the description entirely and done a better job.
>>37918844
I have no one to take a picture for me, any tips ?
>>37918876
Rest your phone against something and use a timer
>>37918738
Yeah I should do it every day but man it's boring
>>37918823
Why?
>>37918298
I am. I'm almost able to do a split now, but the boner I get thinking about getting my asshole pounded while doing a split is making it difficult to stretch properly.
>>37918298
Because there is a very immediate drop off in the practical application of flexibility. Being able to touch your toes is a handy level of flexibility to have for day to day life, but being able to do stuff like in OP's pic is useful for nothing more than parlor tricks.
>>37918298
Because I'm too lazy to stretch.
>lifting 2.5 years now
>not stretched after a workout yet
I know I'm probably going to snap my shut up but I've still not done it. Scare me into it /fit/, motivate me.
>>37919379
Nothing bad will happen. You don't need to be so flexible. Fucks more up than helps
I'm dedicated with lifting sure
but stretching is awful, I'm disgustingly inconsistent and only really do it if I notice I can't get the squat width or whatever.
>>37918298
>>37918298
I fucking hate when tiny floating men stare at my ass when I'm trying to stretch..
>>37918298
Can I get some resources on stretching? I need to improve my stride and relieve back tension but all I know are those dumb basic stretches they taught in P.E.
I am flexible as fuck.
Gf is a yoga instructor and massage therapist.
Life is good.
Yknow how we have /plg/ and /owg/, my goal is to compete in ninja warrior.
>>37918298
I can do this with L5S1 hernia
>>37918298
You know he stretches nothing but his lower back there?
Fucking retarded way of stretching ones hamstrings
>>37919892
Kek r u German?
>>37919878
Here's a video series on a bunch of information and demonstration on stretching
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J7VeN90XUM
This might be also worth the watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lDC4Ri9zAQ
There's a program called SS (Starting Stretching)

>>37919916
Nope. Why?
>>37919924
Because "ninja warrior" is actually some type of parcour challenge tv show in Germany.
Does it exist elsewhere too or where you talking about something different?
>>37919931
I was talking about the American Ninja warrior.
I'll have to check that thing out though.
>>37919941
Oh I see.
It's a fun show, pretty cool to see how actual parcour runner are doing an amazing job at it, they are exactly in their element.
>>37919120
not this guy, but you should not stretch working muscles, and when you are doing this exercise, your hams are tight. Do seated, one leg at time.
>>37918298
I started stretching recently; I think it helps for posture and height gains.
I used to be eye-to-eye level with my friend, and now my eyes are at his eyebrows after about a month of fixin' up my anterior pelvic tilt. It's still pretty bad, though.
i could probably do what OP does
when i do my stretches i usually touch my thumbs to the floor
and when on the floor touching my feet i can touch my entire hand to the middle of my foot
>>37921719
can you give me your stretching routine?
