Cody,

Two immediate thoughts: if you haven't, incorporate some D-ROM movements at the beginning, arm circles, leg swings, etc. (Though maybe you consider that your warm-up and that's why they aren't the list.)

Second: I don't notice any exercises on your list that will improve hip and groin mobility and flexibility, e.g. cradle walks, squats and squat variations, straddle, pancake, active straddle, cossack switches, horse, pigeon, shin boxes, etc.

Just a thought.

best,

jason

Cody you're allowed to do some research yourself You just get as deep into the splits as you can and then try to go a bit further, that's why it's called stretching.
