Split stretches! These are the stretches I’ve been doing almost every day since age 3. I I hold each of these for about 30 sec, then hold my split for a minute, gently rocking around, leaning forwards, backwards, side to side, and just working through whatever positions feel tight. As a weightlifter, when my splits feel tight, I have a particularly tough time getting my knees back in my snatch as I pull the bar off the floor. The more comfortable these stretches feel for me, the smoother my lifts feel. If you feel like channeling your inner gymnast, try these out and let me know how you feel! fleoshorts
