nbraun198 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well its just weird. I mean, I can lie down on the floor on my stomach in straddle position, but i can't hold it in planche position. I start in tuck planche and then extend my legs, but once i get to a certain point, there is just an immense amount of resistance on the back of my legs and i just feel that i cant open them so they're straight, i can just hold it in a bent position.The same goes for front/back lever. I can't do the back straddle, and i cant do front straddle with straight legs, but i can do the full front lever. I just skipped the straddle altogether.Is this a flexibility problem?

braindx Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Which stretches could i do to help solve the problem?Active flexibility means working the flexibility while using your muscles to support the position. Reverse hypers in straddle would probably work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Van Bockxmeer Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Any type of leg lift where you straddle your legs using your muscles only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
