✅As a follow up to the very popular video on helping gymnasts with chronically bent knees, I wanted to make sure I put together a quick video on the most common split flexibility complex I use to help. This video discusses how soft tissue care, specific stretching, control work, eccentrics, and targeted drills can be helpful. References listed below
