Well I don’t really have anything new to report. I’m gonna start oversplits on Thursday though! On my left side anyway. It feels ready. I almost have no feeling at all when I get into my left split…awesome.

So I was on Contortionists Unite and found a thread about back stretches. My online friend Nicole asked:
Does anyone know of any good back stretches to help my backbends/lower back flexibility???
I already know of the basic ones that I’m sure most people know of by now, but if anyone could give me any tips or [...]

It’s been a while since I posted last. Nothing too new with my stretching :/ My feet are a few inches from the floor when I try to do a chest stand! I think more of my chest is on the ground, so it’s actually becoming a chest stand rather than a neck stand hah. [...]
