I definitely feel is improving since my last post shown below in the picture 

I feel like I should be continuing to compress the quad to belly while keeping my flat back ? Is my lower back ok here ?

The pic shown below as I said  Was my form and progress last time I posted about this 

many thanks

Boom, looks like you had the "ketchup effect" last few weeks Leigh, or were the progress more gradual? Very Nice and Inspiering regardless.

Ha ha thanks jonas . What's the ketchup effect?! Lol this has all been progress since starting all the stretch series a few months back 

feeling pretty hopeful I can achieve the goals I've set out now as was quite demoralised st the start as I've said on more than one occasion lol 

I forgot ripped guys dont eat ketchup Leigh

I ment,,, small or micro progress for month after month and then BIG progress over one week to another... 

i dream about this happening one day;)

I guess the "ketchup effect" refers to the repeatedly failed attempt to get ketchup out of its bottle by knocking on its bottom until all of a sudden there is much more than one was originally wishing for.

Anyway, congratulations on your progress!

A little side note; since ketchup is what is called "thixotropic", its viscosity can be greatly reduced by shaking it well for a couple seconds which makes the extraction from the bottle so much easier. I just wish the same principle could be applied to mobility work

Ha ha, I didn't know what the ketchup effect is either  :-D (and yes, I don't eat ketchup either… lol)

Thanks for the explanation, Leonard… now, please, figure out for us how to make this "shaking trick" make to work for us in GST  

Ha ha thanks guys

after thinking about it I kind of worked out what you meant by this ketchup effect lol 

just a side note im no longer receiving email notifications when my threads are written on  as I did before which is why it's took me so long to reply 

is there an issue you are aware of .

i always make sure to click "notify me of reply" on my threads 

I'm not aware of any changes I've made my end but will double check 

thanks again guys

Same for me… I get some emails on some threads, but not on all that I have subscribed to…

buzzing to say now I can put my hands flat on the floor

 Yet more proof if any is needed that this programme works

Awesome work, Leigh!

Thanks pauline 

Good job Leigh!

Thanks etienne 

Thanks for posting your progress. Pike is one of the hardest areas for me. It has taken me several months to get to your first picture. However, seeing your progress gives me confidence that in time I WILL get there. The Stretch Series has been a life changer for me. 

Another update for anyone lacking motivation or not believing they can Achieve their goals- this is my current pike fold. When compared with my first post on this thread it’s night and day 

coach mentions if Orench can get flexible anyone can .... well I believe he could never have been more inflexible than me so there is hope for everyone - be consistent and never give up

Hold the vision trust the process

heres to the coming week to continue smashing our goals everyone 

wow @Leigh Kettle, that is an amazing progress. Thank you for sharing. You are so hardworking and so consistent, it really pays off… Congratulations!!!! 

congratulations @Leigh Kettle  enjoy the result of your hard work.

I love the progress. Thanks for sharing! Some days I feel like my nose will never near my knees. I know it's a slow progression. I do. But before/after shots are super helpful to keep me in the right mindset.
