Full Split with just one stretch?
See if you can do it.

To see the technique in action and to try it for yourself watch the following video:
The people who are candidates to this short pathway to a middle split are those who already have flexible other muscles needed. (Short adductors, pectineus and middle hamstrings)

The other muscles are tested with a frog. If you can do a full prone frog, but can’t do a box split, all you need is Equilibrium.
