Hey
Being a newbie to the front split series can you advise me on whether this is an acceptable starting position for this exercise . I'm actively squeezing my glute trying to maintain ppt and sit up as tall as I can
I cannot yet straighten my front leg but understand this is ok for now right?
My beginning was worst. My leg was aproximately 15 centimetres away from the wall. So I guess it s ok to start like this. I d say it s more important to keep your torso upright than placing all your leg in the wall and not being able to stay straight. I don t know coaches recommendations but I started holding my hands on 2 chairs to keep my torso straight (PPT) and just very recently I started using the blocks. I hated this strecth, I am starting to love it! 
Thanks Antonio . I love the feeling these stretches give already . Just hoping they are being done correctly as you say they sure feel like they are.
Antonio's suggestion it is correct. the upper body vertical it is a must.
