/fit/ - Fitness, Health, and Feels

Also, if this is of any importance, I'm 180cm tall and I weigh roughly 80kg (I'm cutting right now though because I'm above 20% bodyfat).

anon who was in hospital because of backpain.do hip stretches. do gluteham negatives if you have it, or do nordic gluteham raises(for hamstring). do glute activation(one legged glute bridge) and planks 1minute before you train, stretch lightly before you train(dynamic) and do it everyday 2 times. do massage shit like this see youtube.com/watch?v=FSSDLDhbacc can both be done with lacrosse ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzfp_fyROtI (minute 17)

sorry for the second link

Thanks dude, those exercices seem perfect, the only problem may be those gluteham raises since I don't think I have something where I can embed my legs but I'll find a way.

I've googled a bit the time frames and most people say one month to be able to touch your toes so I hope it will be roughly the same for me, I'm so bad at this right now I can't even imagine touched them kek.

On a side is a foam roll that beneficial ? If it's really a net gain for flexibility then I might get one along the lacrosse ball.

I use the lacrosse ball instead of the foam roll, because I have big muscles. For me the foam rolls are useless, because they dont put enough pressure on the place that has the problem.

by the way you can do the nordic gluteham raises with a person sitting on your calf,use something soft like a mat under your knees. 4U youtube.com/watch?v=qPRZcNx_C0A

Dont feel bad OP I was fairly active and now even more and I've never and probably never will be able to do an A shape, even after starting yoga, and I doubt anyone who isnt a girl or a twink would be able to assume that position without trouble. But it is all in the stretching over time, but never push too hard cause you can pull them and then probably lose mobility during recovery. Do you do squats? I know my mobility around my calves increased from doing proper atg

I did kickboxing+kungfu in the past and I couldn't do splits etc. Now I'm closer to it, than ever before 28 years old. While becoming stronger and bigger. Because my muscles were stiff as fuck, if you do dynamic stretching often and the other stuff. You will become more flexible, and I see no harm doing that stuff. Better for the knees anyway, than doing static stretching for minutes and the weight is on your legs the whole time.

Well I hope that my first 20 years of my life being spent on a chair playing video games won't come and bite me in the ass and prevent me to do these exercices forever.

I've been doing nothing but pushups for more than a year (I know, bad idea) and I've come to actually like the activity, now that I see there's all these new cool exercices I could do but can't because I'm stiff as hell I'm pretty miffed.

I have started squats indeed a few weeks ago but I only squat with my bodyweight since I have no weights at home. I'm doing jumping squats to work the hamstrings a bit with my quads.

I'll let you guys know in roughly a month if I can finally touch my toes and have the correct form for pike pushups, hope I'm gonna make it.

You're already irreversibly fucked tbh.

Growing up as an athletic teenager influences your growing body in a more positive way than living like a NEET. Of course that doesn't mean you shouldn' be trying to change things for the better any more.

guy who literally wasted a whole fucking year, because of sciatica pain

now I just started 4 months ago from nothing again and I still have chronic upper backpain

also in my ass, so much is just tight as hell and there is no easy fix :(

I gotta start incorporating mobility and stretching more.

I feel like I'm making it lads. I've been stretching every day and doing mobility exercices for more than a week now and I can almost touch the top of my feet whereas I couldn't go farther than a few centimeters away from my knees before.

For those last centimeters though I don't especially feel a stretch on my hamstrings but on the very bottom of my calves instead. I've been stretching my calves for a week too so I hope that this will take care of this.

Anyway thanks again for the tips and videos lads. I don't think I will be able to assume the pike pushup form in 3 weeks but I'm hopeful that it will be achievable down the line.

try this youtube.com/watch?v=FSSDLDhbacc 2 times a day is enough and hurdle stretch.+ for front split= leg raise front dynamic both legs 5x10 and front split for time two times + for side split= side leg raise 5x10 and 2 times for time split. do some massage shit for the tight areas.

I hope this stuff helps you and I would like to hear more about your progress. Training with all the other stuff will take approx 30-40minutes.

>youtube.com/watch?v=FSSDLDhbacc fuck I put the video already up, the last time I wrote here.

I get you Germanbro, it's like the first time I saw my dick without having to use a mirror. Truly exceptional feeling.

No worries lad, thanks for the input. I'm OP by the way, my flag changed because I was only in Germoney for an internship.

Right now I can touch the ground with my fingertips while feeling a somewhat uncomfortable stretch, I do the mobility+massage in the video you linked + calf and hamstrings static stretching once a day every day.

Quads confirm his mobility shits fucked.

If you guys have the resources, start taking a jiu jitsu class. I don't know how popular BJJ is in your countries, but a few months of it got me more flexible than I've ever been in my life.
