I’ve not written for a while, but I’ve been stretching quite a lot.
My stretching has been a little random in so much as I’ve not been sticking to a set routine lately. Much of my stretching has just been short reps of front and side splits. Most of the time I’ve been holding them for less than 15 seconds.
I still think PNF is the most efficient form of stretching, but at the moment I can’t face it. It’s a lot of effort and a little daunting. Short reps seem really easy and I don’t even think about it. There’s a lot to be said for doing something you enjoy.
My back bend training has gone by the way-side. I keep meaning to get back into it, but I always forget.

i just found your site about a week ago. it looks amazing, all this info in a straight forward manner. you mention roadkill splits a few times and i wasn’t to clear on how to do those from the picture given. any help is great. thanks,
mike
im also curious as to why in pnf stretching you only contract for 3 sec and 30 sec. everyone else says 7-15 sec including some of the resources you listed.
Hi.
Roadkill: The picture on the home page is roadkill, except I’ve got my feet elevated. Imagine doing a toes-up side split, then rolling everything forwards, so now your body is on the floor and so are your feet.
3 seconds?: I can’t see any reference to 3 seconds on the PNF page. I think maybe you’ve confused “3-5 reps” with “3-5 seconds”? Three seconds dos seem like a very short contraction, so if I’ve missed something can you point it out.
