So for the retarded title, its just to attract people to this thread as i need help asap lol. Ok some of you may know i have a medial knee injury and i got that through stretching yes ok. When i attempt the splits my medial knee(inside of knee) hurts and feels tight on both knees which limits me in stretching my groin and its pissing me off. Ive looked about on google and people say its because your not warmed up enough, but trust me im warmed up enough. I can attempt to stretch right after 2 hours of cardio and i will still feel pain/tightness. Any ideas? Btw this was before my injury as well not just after. BEFORE Thanks in advanced, P.S im high on coffee man  |

How do you stretch?
The premise is you did warmup before doing so. What's not clear is if you're doing static or dynamic stretching. And why do you think you should stretch or why not stretch instead?

I do cardio warmup pre hand. I statically stretch AFTER workout. I attempt the side splits but knees limit the stretch. Knee pain inside of knee. |

Why do you need to do side splits?

Why do you do it? I mean, why do that exercise? Like, I do lunges for static stretches, because I need this sort of flexibility for sprinting, and clean and jerk. I ask, because if it's not necessary for you, may be you don't need to do that particular stretch. |

Oh right, i do it because i want a higher kick and this can be acheived through stretching the abbductos/ groin. I do this along with some other stretches but this on in particular is bugging me. |

I see, what kicks are you planning to do? I ask because may be there's another form of stretching you can use.  |

Ah. The side kick.  Source:http://www.fightingarts.com/reading/article.php?id=16 That stretch is all you need for the kick, and it's best done after warmup.  |
