My Butt Muscle Hurts From Stretching For My Split.

[Jordie]

It's on my left split. It doesn't hurt that much after I stretch into the split for awhile, but I don't want to have to keep waiting 5 minutes to do my split. =/ I'm about 1 or 2 inches away.

Any suggestions? I don't want to stop stretching my split altogether, because then I may lose the progress I've made. Oh well, you people know more about this stuff than me. Thanks everyone! ;)

Take a couple of days off and give your body a break. If you've slightly torn it, continuing to stretch may be aggravating it. Do something else active if it doesn't hurt and then go back to stretching. You may find that the rest helps you get lower

Which side does it hurt on? the front or back leg in your split? Are you making sure to stretch both splits equally?
