How You’ll Get the Splits
The front split can be developed directly or indirectly. The direct path involves training just the split until it touches down; the indirect path works the separate components of the split in isolation and then puts them all together. Our program focuses mainly on the indirect path, as we have found this method addresses all the weak areas that cause plateaus. That said, we have also include all the information you need for success with the direct method.
Hip Flexion
If your hamstrings are limiting your split, improving this range might be all you need! We’ve even gone beyond and snuck in some head-to-toe training in this section, a pre-requisite for the standing split.
Hip Extension
Does your back leg feel stuck lunging into your split? You progress could be limited not by your hamstrings, but rather your ability to open your back hip! Improving this range will also lighten the load on your lowback and hamstrings.
Direct Front Split Programming
Have great hip flexion and extension but still can’t touch down? At this point your body might just need more exposure to the front split itself to build strength and confidence in the shape. We’ve provided a variety of novel front split variations that each provide a unique stimulus, which can help you get those last few degrees and reach the ground.
What Makes M3 Different?
The M3 System avoids the dogma of other training methods by taking bigger picture view of flexibility development and reconciling all the conflicting information about correct flexibility training. It focuses on finding what works for the person doing the training versus having a one size fits all approach. We believe strongly that anybody can develop exceptional flexibility with the right combination of correct methods and consistent training.
