Whoa not bad! Does it hurt to support yourself when you're not all the way down like that? You should post a picture with a lower oversplit so we can see what it's like when you're all the way down. Nice pose yes!

When you do an over split you may well place a firm small cushion under the rear knee which will help the exercise and as you stretch you should feel your seat (Butt etc) just brush the floor.

You are doing very well!

Nice oversplit, you are almost all the way down.

thts good well done!! your soo nearly there!! my over splits are sooo rubbish its untrue!! really need to work on them!!

I like your ambition.

There is nothing quite as impressive as someone who aims for the stars.

Hope you make a good landing:-)
