I don't understand how some RUclips videos says how to get splits in 1 day or 1 week?! Your video is the most realistic, thank you!
just clickbait, they want the views not helping people.
just want more viewing, video how I achieve split with in 10 weeks will have more views than one in split 10 years
Marqito boi what exercises do you do or do you follow his video ?
@@sw4lyfe u probably naturally flexible. I got a friend, she doesnt for any training for split but does split without any warm up
@@Doors_of_janua I agree!
Call me crazy.. I will be 60 this year... love body building and seeing how strong I can get. (Been doing it for 40 years) For the last 5 years I have been working on handstands working into handstand push ups. This has evolved to figuring out how to do pike handstands. Even though I work on flexibility, it sucks. I realize That the progression is being able to properly do the pancake. I kinda figured that my flexibility was never going to get better.. I am stoked excited with these videos... with the fact that I need to be patient and change the way I stretch. Sooo cool!!!! Thanks 🙏
Very cool (and crazy) haha. Best of luck and happy stretching :)
Jill Herbert that is - YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my motivation , you do you boss and nothing is impossible
Im 52 and I recently feel that I just have to get extreme flexability. I don't know why, but when the heart calls, I'm going.
FINALLY AN HONEST RUclips VIDEO
Indeed, and it actually encouraged me to practice middle splits even more since I don’t need to wonder why i cannot get to the floor after practicing over one week / one month...
6-18 months is more realistic to most people...
"It took me about a year to achieve a middle split."
Next recommended video: "Getting a Middle Split in 153 days"
Leo khanna?😂
@@kritika7078 yes lol XD
It took me less than 4 months
@@matteozanoni5420 what was your routine?
@@JB-pl3rz find on my channel
Your videos are really motivating to get back to since-elementary-school-long-forgotten flexibility routines, getting back to middle split training. Thank You, Tom!
Happy stretching :)
I've struggled with the splits my whole life. I will try to commit to the advice you presented and keep you posted! Thanks for sharing!
I like your realism Tom. Refreshing given the BS on RUclips.
Thanks Adrian!
Thanks for this Tom , I've always wanted to be able to do full splits. Got close a few times and am going to have to start from stiff position. I've got a hard 12-18 months I guess. Great work and thanks for the realistic advice. Very refreshing to hear real information.
Middle splits is so much harder than the front splits...
so much
I'd love to see a similar front split journey video though, if possible - you have lots of videos on middle splits and I really like them, but in front splits, only one - it would be cool if you could add some more material on the front splits as well! Thanks
Tom Merrick please make a front split video version thx
This is soo true
I found middle splits to be far easier.
I’ve been doing your 20min stretch routine, started your front split routine and am getting super flexible. I’m almost at a full front split. This is my next series, once I’m done getting front splits!
Congratulations Dude 👊. Like your attitude and honesty. 👍
Thank you for this video! I retired from gymnastics 10 years ago and lost my splits. Now i am trying to get them back for ballet 😁😁 thank you for making this xx
Hey with your routines i reached after 1 year my middle split. Im so thankfull four your videos and tips they really helped me.
Thank you TOM! I am doing the work for about a week now and will persist and be consistent. Thanks so much for your amazing informative videos.
how's the splits going?
From my younger dancing days we always used small rocking and tense/release motions during flexability/strength training.
I know Zack and train myself to join the middle split
You have to do a progression for lotus pose, legs behind head (hip external rotation) etc
Good morning Sir. Thanks for posting this video. I'm working a program presently to increase my mid splits. I re-engaged in Taekwondo last May, two weeks shy of 56 and I'm finding that time puts some limits on my physical capabilities. But I'm moving along, albeit slowly, and having tons of fun doing it. Thanks for posting Mr. Merrick; I'll continue to watch and comment.
Welcome Gary, consistency is the real key! Best of luck and happy stretching :)
Appreciate the content man!!
This is kinda inspiring. Might work specifically on splits work once I get into a regular stretch and workout routine
Great videos! Informative and effective.
Good content as always Tom.
Thanks for sharing, you have taught me commitment and hard work
Tom you are the realest in the industry!
Thank you so much - your video gave me the reasurance that I can do it. I just need to be consistant! I'm making the experience as well that the last 20cm are way harder so I was worrying that it was possible, but I didn't feel any bone to bone problem so there was still some hope which made me consult youtube again 😉
Amazing transformation and tips, thanks!
detailed and incredibly helpful content as always! Thank you
welcome Lucas :)
Wow well done! Thanks for the video
You're the best! Thank you for sharing information.
Great video, very informative. Thank you!
You rock, Tom!
Thanks for this reminder video 👍
New motivation for me to do the middle split , thankyou Tom 😁
Yeah it usually takes a year to achieve a certain advanced yoga pose. Of course with dedication, goal oriented, and passion. It’s been a month now since quarantine, I was able to achieve my front split. Been trying for months and now after a month for almost everyday n regular practice. It’s so fulfilling.
It's good that you showed the cold position. From cold I look like I've never stretched before. When I'm warm I can do an oversplit with a 12 inch step. Some dancers and gymnasts can always show amazing flexibility, even when cold, but there are a lot of people with good splits that can't...
hey tom. really liking all of your movement videos. there are really inspiring. can you make sort of a video to improve squats depth (when the torso lean forward as you try to go deeper into the squat, i guess its probably revolve the dorsiflextion and tibilias?), thanks in advance and keep up those informative videos!
I am working on it!
Yes. The reality of splits.. been doing it for more than 3 months..have progressed but still long way to go
I agree with you. This takes time practice and dedication not to mention pain. But one will eventually make it as I did.
100% it's the only way :)
Excellent video!
Great information sir
Its refreshing to see another person who started off in poor position. Im excited to start this program. My flexibility is poor and it hinders my Martial Arts training. Cannot wait try train i will post a response video..
I’ve been working hard for the past month to get closer to the middle splits. I’ve made some good progress so far.
Update ?
Update?
Congratulations!
Great video! Following your program for 6 months now, seeing amazing strength and middle spit progress. Ordered your bands to show my appreciation for making these great videos. THANK YOU!
Thats really awesome to hear Dan, consistency and you get the results :)
@@BodyweightWarrior❤
@@BodyweightWarrior yes I’ve been doing that and you see I’ve been doing the middle split
❤
@@BodyweightWarrioryes
Congratulations, way to stick to it 👍👍✌
Your videos are awesome 👊🏿 Thank you. I've stretched EVERY day for the past 2-3 years and still don't have the middle splits 😞 Think I need to focus a bit more...
Hello Tom
I’ve been practicing martial arts for 40 years now. I’m 54 and used to be pretty flexible but had a few years absence in training due to illness. I’m back training hard now and flexibility is slowly returning. Could you do a video and explain the P&F exercises
GREAT INFORMATION AND VIDEO. THANKS
MOTIVATION GENERATION
Get to it Troy!
Did Karate for 8 years 72 to 80 .Could do the front splits and the full lotus yoga position.Could never master the ( we called them ) Box splits.
the full side splits gave me a high front kick and a good high Billy Jack head snap kick ( keage jodan ) even today at age 79 i can kick that high and turn on a light switch with my left foot. needed the fullbox splits for a high side kick or mawashi geri ( roundhouse ) .But had to be satisfied with good side splits. Got to say not many in our dojo could do either.
Love the realistic expectations
Thank you for the tips and strategies to succeed this complex flexibility. I highly appreciated it!👍👍👍
Wonderful!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you Jamie!
Great stuff Tom, very honest and articulately delivered #nutsinthedust
Great stuff
It's a grind, It takes time, It's struggle but end of the day it is possible. Embrace the grind !
100%, embrace the suck!
I was dancer from age 3-18 and could never get middle splits. I’m 24 now and about 10 months back into dance training. My biggest issue then and now is that the splits and associated stretches for the splits kill my knees to the point where they feel like they’re going to burst. I’m trying to embrace the suck and just focus on getting a flat pancake/straddle stretch and hoping for the best for middle splits.
How did it go? Did you embrace the suck?
Tom - I love your videos! I am trying to incorporate more or the mobility/movement work from the likes of you and Ido Portal into my Crossfit routine. I love Crossfit, but at 45 years old, and a few injuries including an achey lower back, I realize the important of more mobility/movement work.
A little makes a big difference :)
Im at 10-15 cm now. And i started training at juni this year. But im naturally not a stiff guy.
Yo Mate! I ve been doing the PNF routine and loaded mobility for like 4 weeks and already see big improvements! Thanks a lot fam!
That's great to hear! Happy stretching :)
Good program.
Thank you!!
This is so motivating thanks so much. I'm at 6-7inches off the ground and I started my training about 7 weeks ago, back then I was 9 inches. I was gonna stop because I was getting disheartened but now I'll keep going haha. Thanks so much
Also can you do the front splits
6-7 inches is nothing, keep going! I can, front splits is much easier :)
I just love your stuff man! If you are in austria one day hit me up! :P
Thanks Pello, sure I will be one day
That to me is simply incredible! Soooooo hard to do
Bro your content is the bees knees!!! 😍
I’m relearning at the moment, my calves are down now which is good, but yeah, those last few inches are rotten, good work man, you should have a look at the dynamic slide up from middle splits, it’s a super impressive move, I’m not sure what to search to find it but there’s an acrobat called Tim kriegler who did it at the start of a straps routine
Thank you for the video.
Didn't it hurt to stay in that position for so long while training ?
Nice job.
Congrats on this it is hard to get all the way down.
Salut superbe technique bravo île de la reunion
12 months is a good amount of time for that much progress. great job!
Gre8.... It's the journey
Thanks for another great vid! Question: I don’t have access to weights because I’m constantly traveling, would it be effective to simply do the 3 exercise pnf routine as a relative beginner in middle split training? I’m currently at about the same point as you were when you first started.
It sure would work. I would add some middle split isometrics for strength and good luck :)
Thanks for posting this!
Gymnastic bodies middle split program is getting me excellent progress with only 45 min per week working toward it
It's not a bad program, I had a similar training volume :)
Well done, thank you !
70 years old (2018), practicing every day........................
So I see many videos of side splits routines, which one do I have to follow?
What about the knees? Get so much presion starting the split from stand up position.And u were correct hips rotation at the 22th of October how it could be? I don't know your age but get 180 degrees in one years it's hard to believe.
do you have a link to a warm up to do before this? it would be very helpful!
Hi Tom, did you attempt the splits every day, or just when you were specifically training for the splits? Thanks
So it takes what, 3 years or more to get a cold middle split?
I'm 50 yrs old and I'm just starting working on the splits. Is it better to work on the front splits first and then the side, or can you do both. I'm in no hurry, I'm guessing It will take me a couple of years, but I was wondering what your thoughts were? I stretch for about an hour a day, 6 days a week.
Trust me it’s insane,and I’m in shape and train daily
Thank you so much for this video!!! Did you find that you got more of a pinching painful feeling or a stretch painful feeling while achieving this? I keep getting almost a pinching and I am wondering if it is even possible for me to get this?
If you feel sharp pain it means you have slipped disc or so 😅
This video is hopefully to learn the stretching the leg
I think I am currently about your point at the 3 month mark. Do you think I should keep doing the loaded routine or switch over to the PNF routine?
Do you think it makes sense to train the middle splits more than twice a week?
Hi Tom, Can anyone do full split whose age is 28 ?
Just wondering if you can also do fully feet pointed forward middle splits, I currently have difficulty rolling forward more than 45 degrees or so
I can't as my hip gets jammed, I covered this in my 3 month update :)
great video mate i just have one question iam so busy cause of work i dont have so much time to stretch 5-6 time a week if I stretch 2 times a week will i be able to do the splits i want to do really but i dont have much time lol
do you think 2 times a week is enough or i will never be able to do it thanks 😇😊
Hey did you lost your middle splits? This is 4 years old now, 10 months ago you uploaded a V2 version of the middle split routine. How is it going, do you do the splits still? Do you still train it every now and then?
Hello, so I am wondering if you think someone should do both loaded and pnf at the same time, start, with one, then transition, and do both, or use one for every workout?
bruv where do u live its always fucking sunny in your videos surely that cant be old blighty
If I can do the middle splits will I be able to do the front splits as well? 😂 Though my hips are quite tight I realized my middle splits progress is faster than my front splits. I have been stretching for my front splits for 5 months but still quite far away from the ground and couldn't get any lower. I was wondering am I doing it wrong but I really feel so much more flexible after those months of stretching
Nice!
Great video! One question - what's your thoughts on the knees in middle split? As a dancer I've learned that the knees always should point up in the middle split, otherwise you put unnecessary pressure on your knees and risk injury. I see that you don’t work that way and I’m curious why? (Sorry about the language, english is not my mother tongue)
When I go to full I do point the knees up mostly. If you have sufficient conditioning and listen to your body there shouldn't be issues :)
Is it possible to get to a point where you can just hit a front split from jumping straight into it? To be that fluid, like no resistance at all.
Good day here across the pond..wanted to k how long was each hold as worked through the splits?
Does also initial Side Split mobility improve prior to warming up?
Great vid, thanks! How long on average is each of the two stretching sessions you did per week? Thanks!
2 x 20-25 minutes a week :)
Perfect, thanks!
