Said question is a great one, and came in last night – and man, with the dumbphone mania going on I almost missed the email not to mention the sales notification – so jy apologies for the somewhat delayed response Yolanda,!

She’s an Advanced, PROFOUND Isometric and Flexibility Training customer.

Admittedly people sleep at night so that’s to be expected. ???? but seriously, as she and many others know, we don’t just pride ourselves on superb, over the top customer service here – we deliver above and beyond what’s promised.

Anyway. Great question from the self confessed “fitness freak”- interesting Y, I heard that term last in 2009 from a fat phuck employer in a sweaty old basement who would not know fitness from his ass hole if it hit him in the face – which funnily enough or maybe not was when I was in the process of ballooning up to 120 kgs. Shit, I still remember the wrestler like breakfasts i used to gulp down.

My answe obviously – both great exercises, either first.

But hands down, if you want to improve quick then do the tough one – side splits first and get damn good at it.

If you get good at the front splits first, that wont necessarily translate into gains or big ones on the side splits, but having been there, done that for years,man, and as I was discussing recently with a yoga instructor I was training on pull-ups (he was doing well, just getting his chin over the bar was tough for him so I coached him for free, to his credit, he listened – and improved rapidly. Good man!) … The reverse – bam!

Get good at the side splits first, all else improves rapidly and dramatically – it’s that simple.

There is a reason this exercise is heavily emphasized on martial arts, and JCVD is but the most high profile living proof of this, not to mention making great gains on the sort of food I have been doing for the last two months, veggies mostly which taste so awesome I’m gonna miss them when I return to meat only. Hehe.

Anyway.

Great exercise – great question, thank you, Yolanda. It’s one many people have …

Hope that helps some!

Best
