Hi all

 

In the "Middle split" training Coach recommends straps for those who cannot reach their toes in the exercise where you bend one arm overhead from the pancake position to touch the toes.

 

What kind of straps are best for this exercise?

If you Google stretch straps (or go to your local Dicks sporting goods store) you can pick up a stretch strap relatively cheaply. 

Personally I use one of my heavier bands (either the one that offers 85 lbs of resistance or the one that gives 120 lbs of resistance) instead of a stretch strap but that is because I already owned them. A large towel can be used in a similar manner to the stretch strap.
