I haven’t done any true resistance stretching with a partner, but I have found some stretches I can do using the floor, a strap, or my own body

Oh yea! I read that entire thread when it was recently revived and also found the videos. The methods shown are interesting and easy to understand, but I do wish I had a partner to stretch with anyway. Some of the resistance became tiresome on my arms before the intended muscle! These stretches did help release the tension I recently had in my hamstring after an over zealous split attempt. Also learning about squaring the hips was probably the biggest mind opener and heart breaker. My splits weren’t near as close but I felt the stretch so much better in the hip flexors and hamstrings.

I have very tight hamstrings and hip flexors! I was able to split in the past but after stopping pole for 6 years and went into long distance running, I can’t do any split at all! :(( The only stretch i can do is pigeon. When i lie down, I can’t straighten my legs 90 degrees.

For me it is also the hamstrings.. Sometimes I can touch my toes.. But most of the time I simply can’t..

Middle splits and straddles. Never even been close to the ground (or pancake), these have always been a struggle. I think part of it has to do with hip structure, I suspect I have deep hip sockets which prevents certain movements completely. Always had a pretty flexible back though, so that’s nice.

Middle splits straddle and turn out.
Back getting less flexi as I become older.
Super flexi hamstrings and shoulders mean I can fake it quite a lot!
Doing Veena lower body and mid splits workout/stretches 3x week and trying to find time for Lina’s awesome back bend vid too.
