middle split tweaking

after a certain middle split session i was thinking about the frog stretch i notice basicaly i cant slide more due to the fabric of the pants and the mats so i thought why not try this stretch and see if it can help 

to slide further until the knee touch the floor i lift a little weight and i ask my dad to slide me further what do you think about it anyone tried it before ? 

comments are welcome

note: am doing for each side now after the weekly MSS

THe idea of the weight it is ok but the general body position must be the same. if you notice now the right leg it is externally rotated and the upper body it is vertical.  In order to permit more range of motion your hips must twist on one side and then the tension is moved to another section. MOdify some limbs position is fine only if you are holding the same general angles if not, we are talking about different positions.

Put some plastic between your knees or carpet and you will slide a little bit better  :-) or those furniture sliders, that you can also use in other exercises (I think in SLS)

I meant just some kind of plastic bag, or a piece of linoleum, or anything that slides on the carpet… something between your knee and carpet.

Both feet pointing forward, bend your upper body forward and reach the floor with the elbows.
