Tips For Back Flexibility??

[bburke1]

Your advice and tips are welcome..and needed! Trying to get back in the game after a pretty long hiatus. I've gotten more flexible as far as jumps, stretches, anything that goes towards the front. My back flexibility has never been good. I know back bends/bridges help as well as splits and reaching backwards, but what else can I do?

Thanks : )

What I do to stretch my back is stand in a doorway and grab my foot and put it on one side on the doorway and grab the other side with both hands and slide my foot up as far as it will go, trying to keep the leg as straight as possible. Then I hold it there for about 30 seconds.
