Back leg lift to splits

Hi can anyone help me with being able to lift my leg behind me to my head while standing to do the splits. I hope you all know what I mean. I'm able to do right and left front splits, middle splits and oversplits but unable to bring my leg up behind…

Your pictures are really good, so much so that they might be too good! But what is also great to know is that you don't have to be 16 years old to be able to do splits or middlesplits. Its often a big challenge to maintain flexibility, especially as its not always possible to find time to stretch, and maybe thats just me, but getting stretching done was a lot easier when i was in my teens...

Has your wife taken an interest in stretching? The reason why i ask this, is because i often think that stretching is quite infectuous, once you start its quite difficult to stop, and especially when you see from someone else's improvement that it is possible to improve your flexibility. A lot of people are convinced that either you can do the splits or you can't, and that there is no middle ground...

How old were you when you started strething and how did you get started? You certainly have tremendous flexibility!
