Hello everybody,
I want to know the benefits of performing side splits ,and the possible injuries that may cause,
and can anybody recommend any excercises that may help to gain the flexibility of doing side splits,and is there any test that can prove if your body is capable of doing side split?

no real benefits really

depending on your starting flexibility point will detirmnine if you're at risk of injury or not

basically progress slowly and surely

why anyway??

Thankyou for your reply swanso5.

I just want to know the reason that some people are trying so hard to do the full splits,truly I like to do it,and when I can't I think there is something missing for me to gain good flexibility,I remember when was a child and teenager i could do it

and know I feel a lot of pressure and pain exactly near to reach the floor,
thanks again fo

r your reply
