Question:

Splits?

I;ve been trying to get my middle splits for around five years! I just can't improve no matter how much i stretch or how much pain my coaches put me through durning splits! Is it possible i just can't do it and if not wat are some good tips?

It can depend what age you, are I have known teenagers loose and then regain them as they grow and I assume their pelvis changes shape. Some never regain full box splits but can slowly stretch them out, a little every day is best.
