Hi. I've been doing the middle split series since january. My middle split and pancake has been very slow to progress, but my diamond frog is stuck straight up in the air. If I try to push down, I feel the stretch only in my hip capsules. I don't know what to do to progress this movement. Thanks

Michael can you send us a video of your diamond frog stretch with entry and exit?

hey Michael, a little tip from my experience, try to perform more frequently the piriformis stretch.
Thank you for the replies. I really think it's just my piriformis. I made a similar thread about the butterfly stretch and was told to stretch the piriformis more, too. I'll just keep on working on piriformis and being patient.
Sounds good Michael, let us know how you progress.
Piriformis stretch seems to be "cure for all" for the hips, just like the elevated cat is for the shoulders :-)
