Guys,I can do splits easily.Do you think working on increasing the degree(more than 180degrees)is nessecery for male gymnasts?how much?how about active flexibility in splits?how is training that?

Sure. You'll find the best carryover of front splits in pommel horse single leg and Thomas Flair work.

 

One simple drill is to hang from a bar or rings and open up your splits and hold the position, switching legs after.

 

Another would be to work on split handstand besides working on standing front or rear leg lift and hold.
