Well, unfortunatly the only way to get your splits down is to sit in them. A Lot. The last two weeks i have had both of my splits down for the 1st time EVER! I did this by sitting with my leg up on a panel mat and holding the hyper split for 2 min. (left, right, AND middles). I will hurt, but...

well... as a gymnast, i definently know some girls who cry at anything for attention and out of lazyness to get out of conditioning and stuff. Its partly an immaturity thing, and part fault on parents and coaches for letting them get away with it. i personally never "fake" anything or cry in...
