Thank you all for the kind words and actual constructive criticisms! I've received a lot of FAQs in the comments (future videos, flexibility, appearance, etc.) so I thought I'd pin a detailed comment to address them all together! I'll also be attaching my stretching routine from the video in words, at the end of this comment. Hope this helps to clear up a few things! :) Subscribe for more content! And follow me on my social medias to keep up with me in the future!

Start posting more videos! When's the next video? A: I'm so happy to see such widespread interest in more videos from me! I've been waiting on some equipment and items for videos to arrive (delayed in the mail 😑) but as soon as those things come in, I'll be right back to recording! Not to mention, it's been raining almost every day where I live... 🙄😪 In the meantime, I've been spending my time learning more about editing, cameras, etc. I hope to start posting more videos by the end of June...? I'm still really new to YouTube and video production so I know it's going to be rough in the beginning, but I'm excited to start growing as a content creator, and I hope you join me for the journey! 😁❤️ 2: You should learn to backflip! You should learn the handstand! You should learn-... A: I have a HUGE list of skills I want to learn in the future! I can't wait to share my experiences with them on the channel. If you have a skill that you're interested in seeing me learn, leave me a comment and I'll try my best to learn it someday! ❓❓❓FLEXIBLITY/STRETCHING❓❓❓ 3: Can you post a video of your stretching routine? A: Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be posting a separate video just for my stretching routine. I hope to focus this channel on learning all kinds of interesting and unique skills, not flexibility and stretching videos. There are a ton of greats channels focussing around that topic already. But like I said, my PERSONAL routine will be at the end of this comment in as much detail as possible! 4: Did stretching make you taller? A: Nope! I can see the logic behind this question, but for me personally, achieving the middle splits did not stretch the overall structural length of my legs. Still just a short guy! 🤪 5: Does age matter for stretching? A: I believe yes and no. Generally, becoming flexible and mobile is much easier at a younger age. But that doesn't mean that you can't become flexible at an older age! It just might take more time than it would take someone in their youth, to achieve a certain amount of stretch. I'm not a medical professional of any kind, but this makes the most sense to me! 6: Were you flexible as a child? A: Not really. I wasn't as stiff as a board, but I certainly wasn't at all capable of doing the splits. 7: Your starting position is already pretty deep! A: I personally didn't think my split was deep to begin with, but I do realize that everyone is starting from a different beginning. I never tried to do the splits before this challenge, but I have been pretty athletic my whole life, so I guess my body already had a natural tolerance for a bit of stretch...? Outside of this, I do exercise regularly and do a quick full body stretch after every workout (but I've never actually focussed on any kind of split training)! 8: Can I get my splits in a month too? A: Like I said in the video, everyone's bodies are different! You shouldn't focus on the timeframe, just the end goal of achieving your splits. I was able to achieve my splits in 30 days of stretching, but you shouldn't compare YOUR body to MY body. Even if it takes you a full year of stretching, you should be proud of your own body for being able to reach your goals in the end. :) 9: What happens to your testicles when you're in the split? A: Contrary to popular belief, the testicles aren't actually really involved or affected in the process. They just rest in the front of your crotch as they do regularly. The part of my body that actually makes contact with the ground, is the area between my crotch and my bum. Hope that clears things up 😂 10: Can you learn to nut punch like Johnny Cage? A: As hilarious as that would be, I don't think that "skill" merits its own video on my channel 😂 11: My knees/hips/thighs are hurting when I stretch. What do I do? A: I'm not a medical professional of any kind. The only kind of discomfort I experienced during the stretch was from my hamstrings and hip flexors actually stretching, and the first few days of soreness that passed on its own. Again, this video only documents MY PERSONAL experience and routine. I'm happy if it can help, but I'm not saying this is the #1 go-to stretching routine for everyone. If you are in actual pain, I would recommend speaking with your doctor! ❓❓❓PERSONAL & APPEARANCE ❓❓❓ 12: You have a lot of acne. Yucky! Ew! Gross! A: I'm not offended or phased by people commenting on my acne, but I feel unprompted comments on others' physical appearances is all around unnecessary... These kinds of words can really hurt someone's confidence and make them feel self-conscious. Telling someone they have a lot of acne will almost always be taken in a negative way, even when it's "not meant as an insult." It just isn't helping anyone... There's a saying that I really like and I'd like to share it here: "If someone can't fix something about their appearance within a few seconds, then you shouldn't say anything about it." For my personal acne, I've been on acne medication cycles twice before, and the results were great and long lasting! But the side-effects of the medication were pretty painful/irritating to me. Additionally, those treatments can be expensive, and can become more dangerous after multiple cycles. Most of my acne is just genetic. I eat a balanced diet, drink a much higher than average amount of water, sleep an adequate amount, exercise regularly, and keep a proper skincare routine. Despite all fo this, my acne tends to flare up from time to time, and I'm okay with it. Additionally, most of the marks on my face are actually just post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation ("acne scars"), as opposed to actual acne bumps. While there are available treatments to fade scarring more quickly, they can be quite expensive like I said. I am okay with my own appearance, and my scars will fade with time and standard skincare products. 🙂❤️ 13: Dude, you look exactly like Tenz. Dude, you look exactly like Jay from ENHYPEN. A: I think it's just the long hair, round glasses, and the fact that I'm Asian 😂👌 ❓❓❓MY STRETCHING ROUTINE❓❓❓ Below is the stretching routine that allowed ME to achieve my full middle splits. Like I've said before, I'm not a medical professional, nor am I a flexibility expert. I am just an average guy who spent some time researching to put together a stretching routine to achieve the splits. You are free to use my routine a guideline to shape your own routine, or you can follow it exactly. Either is fine! Instead of listing the amount of sets per exercise I did, I will just be listing everything I did in order. If you go down the list, that will be exactly the amount of sets I did in total. (Warmup ~ 2-3 MIN) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (L) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (R) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (L) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (R) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (L) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (R) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (L) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (R) (Pre-split stretches ~ 10 MIN) 1 MIN - Horse stance/squat 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (L) 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (R) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (L) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (R) 1 MIN - Horse stance/squat 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (L) 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (R) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (L) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (R) (Split stretching ~ 20 MIN) 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest I hope this helps! :D
