How to do the Splits, what NOT to expect: #3 Introduction to the best stretching routine

Forgive me for any double negatives hahaah, but still, if you’re trying to figure out how to do the splits, this video will explain what NOT to expect as you work through the best stretching routine. Being flexible is good, but being flexible and strong is better. Because that way you have better control throughout your range of motion.
So this video will help prepare you for the strong side splits routine program. You’re not going to become flexible overnight and increase your maximum range of motion by 5 or 10 degrees EVERY single session. If you could, then that would mean you’re NATURALLY flexible, and it would probably mean that you can already do the splits :) But really, your progress towards strong side splits is not going to be linear progress. “You will experience some days of regress among your many days of progress. And don’t let that discourage you”.
Also, don’t expect this program to include relaxing, therapeutic training sessions. You’re training to get strong at your max ROM. Strength training, even this kind of strength training, isn’t relaxing :) It’s serious work and you’re gonna pay for your progress with sweat. You’ll practice stretching to your maximum range of motion, and then contracting your target muscles throughout that range. And that means it’s not a relaxing flexibility routine. I think yoga might be better for that. But if you stick with this program, your new split ability will have carry over benefits in yoga. Anyway, I’m not trying to pump this up as some cheesy macho strength program, I’m just saying that you’re going to work hard.
And finally; even with all of that hard work, you’re not going to pack on bulky groin muscles. You won’t experience hyperplasia or hypertrophy in your hip adductors. The strength gains you experience will be from increased muscle efficiency, so no stress :) No bulky groins for anyone, just strong side splits for everyone.
