bellissimo….. very nice…sehr schoon…..
So we need to be working on the strength of the adductors if we want to achieve the big 180?
Thanks for this, this is exactly my problem, legs moving forward during a side split. Also, when I try doing a front split my leg in front is completely flat but I have trouble getting my rear leg down because my knees is in my way. How do I get my rear knee out of the way and comfortable so I can complete the split? Thanks
do these help sidesplits? im really working hard with isometric stretching and was wondering if i should put this in my routine.
Thank you
thanks man! More than anything improving horse stance is helping with my training
Thanks, i know what you mean. The strange thing is, at point when my tendons are “uncomfort”, my joints pains, and I must stop, despite my tendons would allow me to go further in stretch. I guess I will have to look for some excersises widening the reach of joints.
stretching shouldnt hurt, ppl are not patient and wanna become flexible early on but flexibility is something that comes overtime. sense of uncomfort is what u should feel not pain.
Maybe you right, but still, I have no idea how to warm up joints to work at angles that are above their reach. If you, or similar topic YT uploaders have some videos about this, I’d appreciate a link or clues what to look for.
More often then not, when the joint pain appears toward deeper ranges, you are lacking muscle strength and correct warm up.
is there any way to find out if I have this structural ssues? because everytime i strech for sidesplit, to some point I feel just pain in the tendons (which i can endure, that is how strething work, I suppose), but after this point an intense pain in joints appears. I do not know if it is normal for everybody and I should ignore it, or is it caused by issues you mantioned.
do you know the test i can do to see if i will eventually do the side splits?
Short answer:
Warm up and stretch your legs and hips at least every other day
Thank you for your response, do you think it is possible I could do a full split using your method, I’m 50 and about 2-3 inches from doing a full split now.
Help, my hamstrings are so tight, I just dont know what to do anymore. I also have some odd hips, ie if I sit down with my legs spread out infront of me, the further apart I go with them, I full backwards, and cannot sit up. HELPPPP
There is a test, StarvMarv……
Make sure you are training correctly and keep at it.
Time will tell.
is there a way to test to see if i can do the side splits? tom kurz’s method is complicated.
I succeeded at the front splits to right and left side, but i failed at side splits …i tried almost everything , isometrics , the pain method ( like old-school gymnasts), and still far away from side split ….when i warm up i takes about 1 hour of stretching to achieve 160 degrees -.- i am desperate i really want a full side split , but i dont have money to buy guides …and i have no bone issues ….its just my big failure a kind of curse -.-
And Thanks again Paul
I guess, I can make it look hard. lol
There is a very small percentage of the population that have structural issues that can prevent a full split. There is a very large percentage, who use it as an excuse for failure to achieve it.
Thank you for your comment.
Very small percentage of the pupulation have structural issues, that can prevent them.
Yeah – looks so easy!

Hi Paul, starvmarv has a good question, can everybody do a split using your method. I’m real close I can get within 2-3 inches in a split and I’m going to be 50 in a month. Thanks.
im not as flexible as u r Paul but i noticed that horse stance helps me with my split(cant open 180 yet but im close) after i hold horse stance for a minute or 2 its much easier to open ma legs.
