I should also mention that I’m only 6 months in, and I can only imagine what a decade of practice brings. I know there is still much to learn, but I wanted to drop this here for anyone wondering if it’s worth the time investment. I knew I’d stick with it within a few weeks. 2-3 weeks was when I started noticing some definite changes in strength. It just gets better from there.

It took me years, but I eventually got to the point where I could legitimately do the standing splits to full extension, lol. I'm now working on conquering the handstand.
