PATIENCE & CONSISTANCY, keep reminding yourself throughout the progress.. You cant achieve it in weeks on a month.. and than Tom has covered you🙂 I am training pancake almost for 9-10 months and never used any external weight so far... I have made some great progress and almost flat to the ground and really proud considering where i started.. You are one of the athlete who have motivated me to get into bodyweight.Thanks for all the hard work you put in all this info👍🙂
I always thought I shouldn't train the middle splits until I had a good pancake, but I guess I should since my limiting factor in the pancake is getting my legs into a wider stance. Thanks
Your passion for sharing is fucking contagious brother. Respect as always. ✊🏽 also, what a “RUclipsr” evolution hahaha do you remember those days where we talk slooow, high pitch, both of them or some sort of weird stuff XD Quite a journey....a endless one ✊🏽
Hey Tom thanks for your amazing videos, they’ve really helped a lot! I was wondering if you can maybe make a short video or advise me on what order you recommend going in regarding stretches and moves as a beginner to acquire all-around flexibility and mobility? For example, I wanted to try press to handstand but then realized I should work on my pancake and then realized I actually need to improve my middle splits first. What order makes sense here? Thanks!
Hey Tom. Thank you for your valuable device. I admit I use a 20kg vest while doing the pancake. But now I’ll try your way of thinking. H-String next please Tom. 🙏🏾 💪🏾🔥🤙🏾
Thank you for this very informative video! I cannot do the pancake at all because I round my back way to much, bit didn't know what to do about it! I will definitely try the standing version! Thanks for the tip!
Is there any benefit to doing back to wall compression exercises to work on rolling the hips under properly? It's been a long (and so far unsuccessful) struggle to position my hips properly.
Gunna try this. Your pancake routine is my go to stretch after a leg workout. Hey bud I've just got a question, and this is a bit off topic so I apologize. But when kicking up into a handstand (been practicing HS for 5 mos now), when my legs are in an L-shape position and even before I bring them together---should my hips be somewhat anteriorly tilted? Kicking up into an HS is a pain in the arse but I enjoy figuring it out. Hah
Thanks Tom, really great full for this one! The exercise on the box for quads activation gave me cramps just by watching you doing it haha. But I'll def give it a try.
Need some advice. Every time I try to open my legs wide for a pancake or try to stretch for middle splits, I feel pain in the side of my glutes, almost like some sort of cramp. It’s so painful I have to stop, and this has limited my attempt to be more flexible. Over the last couple of years I’ve made pretty good progress in my overall flexibility. I’m just a couple of inches away from the floor in my front splits, but when it comes to opening my legs to the sides in just stuck and seem to make no progress at all. Can’t figure out what’s happening.
*i cant do even L on the floor !!! i have APT and tight hamstring on my right side !!!! i will be never able to do L sit , why i am watcing this 😂😥😥 btw nice video*
@@weirdclone5426 Well, since I said "still do" so I still have it, but fixing APT seems quick if you dedicate to it. I'm not dedicated. I'm a bit too lazy to do all the exercises but you can see a clear difference in a week or two.
It’s fucking impossible this stretch. I can do it standing up but as soon as I sit on the ground it’s impossible to lean forward more than about 6 inches.
I never thought I’d hate pancakes but thanks to you Tom I do 😄
Using strength to compress changed my pancake drastically and made me learn press to handstand
Mind blown! No wonder I never progressed, was doing it wrong the whole time. Will now work on it standing, thank you!
Pancakes are my biggest weakness, thanks for the video Tom!!

I think we should respect people who can do the pancake as we do with ones who could do front lever
the isos on the box were super helpful. my hamstrings are very flexible but I still could not get the hang of the pancake. already doing much better!

Tom, you're truly amazing!
This is super informative and is confirming some things I've suspected for a while! Thank you, Tom. You're awesome.

Dang. I'm at wall pancake level. Enjoy the suckyness is the best advice ever. Thank uou
Is there any benefit to doing back to wall compression exercises to work on rolling the hips under properly? It's been a long (and so far unsuccessful) struggle to position my hips properly.
Thanks tom!
Isn't a narrow pancake much better for press to handstand than a wide one?
Gunna try this. Your pancake routine is my go to stretch after a leg workout.
Hey bud I've just got a question, and this is a bit off topic so I apologize. But when kicking up into a handstand (been practicing HS for 5 mos now), when my legs are in an L-shape position and even before I bring them together---should my hips be somewhat anteriorly tilted?

Is there any regression for the seated hamstring stretch?
Another great informative video!
No matter how long I been stretching I cannot do pancake stretch. I will try stretching my legs first. Thank you 😊
Amazing video. Pancake is the pose that i cannot get. Not even close. I would love to imrpove it and this would help a lot
Thanks Tom, really great full for this one! The exercise on the box for quads activation gave me cramps just by watching you doing it haha. But I'll def give it a try.
How many reps do you suggest daily for the goodmorning pancake?
See I do this stretch in karate but whenever I do it I get a cramp in my leg. I think I have the posture right I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
Thanks bud. You are the best.
What are your thoughts on pelicans?! Have you done any?!

I just hit a chest to floor pancake! Is it bad if my feet point forward a little bit instead of straight up?
Should I use anterior pelvic tilt? I thought u kept it as in a L sit, so i can progress into straddle L?
Between standing and sitting on the floor you can progress by sitting on objects, lower and lower and finally sit on the floor.
Nunak91 you can but from my experience coaching this is an unnecessary step. You get better progress working standing until the floor is workable
@@BodyweightWarrior Good to learn something. Maybe I've just saved some time.
At 4:10, that's very impressive.
I used a rubber assisting band anchored close to floor in front of me to pull myself into deeper pancake.
nice haircut tom
Hey! I tried using your app, but the scrolling function isn't working (I'm using an iPad Air), so I was unable to get past the intro.
Creative Name yeah we’re working on iPad support but phone is currently the place to use it
First here ! hope this video is gonna be usefull, i'm really working on it now
Your sec bro
I love pancake.
The real cake only btw
just relax
I can NEVER do that 😅
*i cant do even L on the floor !!! i have APT and tight hamstring on my right side !!!! i will be never able to do L sit , why i am watcing this 😂😥😥 btw nice video*
WeirdClone Both APT and tight hamstring are fixable. I had them, still do in some degree and I can do the L-sit. So keep trying.
@@dcle944 how long you take it to fix it !!! thanks for your reply
@@weirdclone5426 Well, since I said "still do" so I still have it, but fixing APT seems quick if you dedicate to it. I'm not dedicated. I'm a bit too lazy to do all the exercises but you can see a clear difference in a week or two.
I injured my self twice doing the pancake.
It’s fucking impossible this stretch. I can do it standing up but as soon as I sit on the ground it’s impossible to lean forward more than about 6 inches.
Yey first
