    That's basically a sumo stance straight legged deadlift. Awesome! It'll force you to keep the back straight, core tight, and stretch all of the correct muscles under tension without downregulating those muscle ability contract forcefully (because the consistent eccentric/concentric tempo). Dynamic flexibility movements like this that are easy to control are a godsend. I will happily work this one into my lower body warmup routine.

Not so in my experience: male dancers have extremely good toe points, and better than you usually see in gymnastics gyms.

  • @juanagustinjuannaz6143
    @juanagustinjuannaz6143 9 месяцев назад +2

    Yeah just in case
    Here is a pancake recipe
    Ingredients:
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup milk
    1 large egg
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan
    Instructions:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
    Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, you may need to adjust the heat to medium-low.
    Lightly grease the griddle or skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
    Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, usually 2-3 minutes.
    Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
    Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
    Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
    Feel free to customize the recipe by adding ingredients like vanilla extract, cinnamon, or blueberries to the batter for extra flavor. Enjoy your pancakes!

    Any tips on improving adductor flexibility for the pancake? My hamstrings are pretty flexible in pike positions but as soon as I spread my legs and tilt my pelvis forward, my inner thighs start hurting sharply which is why I feel like I can‘t practice the pancake effectively. It happens in all positions, standing, sitting and on the floor. I‘m starting to get desperate because I really wanna learn the handstand press but the pancake just isn‘t happening :(

    • @sidpaulson1
      @sidpaulson1  Год назад

      In this case I would simply start working towards the side/middle split. There are a bunch of great drills for the adductors:
      Horse Stance Squats, Tailors Pose, Side Split Isometrics, Adductor Flyes.
      I hope that helps!

    It's easier when I'm walking my arms around, chest against the knee and then to the other side, gradually widening the straddle and then after a couple of minutes all the way down to the floor. I stop when I feel the pull on the muscles a bit too much, (especially feet ). Some place a weight on their back, I'm scared to do that (petite body frame). Great exercise but don't hurt yourself...

    • @sidpaulson1

      I never met someone that didn’t have the anatomy to do a pancake.
      Most likely a flexibility issue In the hamstrings and strength in the hip flexors.
      The tighter your hamstrings are the more rounded your back will be because you can’t tilt the pelvis forward.

    U say not to round your back but then you round your back…. So are we supposed to round it or not?

    • @sidpaulson1
      @sidpaulson1  11 месяцев назад

      The idea is that you want to select a position in your back. Straight or round, depending on the purpose of the movement you're doing.
      Then you simply want to maintain the same position and avoid changing position during the lift. So if you start with round stick with round and vice versa.
      You can also begin with a straight back and the round at the end-range of motion to achieve a greater stretch in the hamstrings.
      There are many ways to do it. But I probably need to update this video!

      For the main exercise for my pancake I prefer to do 3-4 sets. Rep range can be 3-5, 5-8, 8-12. The fewer reps you do the longer you want to hold in the stretched position (3-5 reps with 10s hold, 5-8 reps with a 5s hold, 8-12 reps with a 3s hold).
