Étienne Lajeunesse Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Today was the second day I really felt a big improvement in my pancake. I thought of sharing for a bit of motivation. Yes, I know, my back is rounded, but look at that! And, no, I'm not pulling myself! Top - Today Bottom - A year and a half ago 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up warrior I started around feb-jan 2016. Had stopped for about 5-6 months before coming back and get to work more seriously, so around august 2016. I've got hip imbalances that slowed me in my progress (stiff right leg) and I'm fixing it now. As you can see, it works pretty well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like youre doing a great job, im working against unbalanced hips myself, (seems like very many martial artists(former and/or current) are having this problem) so I have a decent understanding of the hard work you have put in. what are some of the biggest game changers for you when it comes to fixing your hips and gaining mobility? And you are forbidden to answer consistency keep going man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are forbidden to answer consistency keep going man! Yeah, same here, Taekwon-Do practitioner for the last 16 years! I am followed by an athletic therapist and he gives me A LOT of stabilization exercises for the core and hips. My right glute was my primary problem and strengthening it (it's been 4 months now since I started my rehab) has helped me with my flexibility. I'm not done yet, but I start to see the results. Apart of that, consistency is the key ahaha Keep working hard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
