Additional Stretching to Address Mobility Deficiencies

[Marty Anderson]

Hi, 

I have been working through GB since earlier this year, but have hunkered down on increasing my mobility for the past 2 months by performing each of the stretch series courses once a week and have identified a few areas of weakness.  I have been performing additional stretches below for about the past week, but wanted to check to see if any of the additional stretching would inhibit progress or increase risk of injury.  Note that if the stretch is covered during any of the stretch series, I do not repeat that day. 

Standing Pike - 120s

Standing Pancake - 120 s

Calf Stretch (gastrocnemius) - 90s / each leg

Calf Stretch (soleus) - 90s / each leg

Vertical Lunge, Bent - 90s / each leg

Butterfly - 60s

Hip Swivel (holds) - 60s / each leg

Seated Pancake - 120s

Seated Pike - 120s 

Deepest Squat - 60s

Thanks, 

Marty

Hi MArty, i have the personal opinion and experience to say that a daily work on weak point is ok BUT it makes sense only if the perceived tension reflects limitation. Personally i can suggest you to see  PT, have a check for your limitation then eventually adding more work.
