Hi Juan,
We have a few ways to boost progress with this one. The one we suggest depends on your current level of flexibility. Is it possible for you to send in a video or photo of your current ROM here?
A stretch strap around the foot is the simplest way to pull yourself a little deeper.
Holding a dumbbell overhead is a bit harder but the added weight increases the stretch significantly. Let's see where you're at and decide on the best strategy.
@Everett Carroll - I also find this hard. I feel like it's the side of my body that's holding me back - maybe my lats and obliques?! Could this be the case? I find the middle spilts are progressing, but feel tight along the side of my body. Is it worth adding some extra stretches in (there are a few in F1 that I can think of) to improve this area?
Thanks!
@Fiona Silk Absolutely. The side body mobility drills from SL in Foundations are great for opening up the obliques and lats. SL/PE10-12>iM specifically are excellent drills to add in if you are tight in those areas.
