Pike fold progress

WOW Leigh! This is amazing  

Thanks for sharing your progress showing us that the impossible is possible  

keep up the great work!

Was this awesome improvement from the Stretch Series alone, or was there additional mobility work done throughout the week?

Hi Jeremy 

The front splits series coupled with foundation, hs  and middle splits  is what’s got me here . I barely do any pike fold “limbering” throughout  the week anymore as foundation and it’s mobility work pretty much does enough for me .(Jefferson curls,  inverted pike pulls etc)

That said at the start on advice from Alex I would do the following on a pretty regular basis 

start off straight legged, pike fold forwards with flat lower back and when You feel that flat lower  back was going to start rounding bend your knees ever so slightly and go deeper ... this enables you to go slightly deeper into the stretch in the proper position - hold for around 60 secs 

Hope this helps and good luck
