So I don't know if this will help anyone but I found a great way to practice my standing split stretches. I used to do it how I was originally taught, with a chair against a wall. I kept having the problem of the chair sliding away when I would lean on it. I now do it in a doorway. I have a wide and a narrow doorway in my apartment, so I use each as I warm up (the narrow doorway of course the harder one) and my flexibility has improved tremendously! Plus, no more chair sliding away. How do you guys practice your standing splits?

I'm still doing them down on the floor ;p
but thanks for the tip I might be able to put it into use a few months down the road.

I'm still doing my splits on the floor but do oversplits too which helps.

I can do standing splits and just put two hands on the floor then bring one leg behind me and slide it up the wall then try and push myself to the wall to be in a split.

Will try and upload video soon

I wish I could use a doorway, but there aren't any in my house that are suitable. T_T I like that chair idea though...
