Should I wait until i'm not sore anymore?!
Question: I've been practicing my right leg and straddle split for gymnastics, i've gotten my left leg, and the other night I was SO close to getting my straddle! Now i'm just so sore from all the stretching. Should I wait to do more when i'm not sore anymore, or keep doing it?

Don't stop entirely, but cut back a bit - to keep the muscles limber. Do lots of pre-stretching, as I'm sure you already do.
take the day of... but do some stretching then get back tomorrow
Do it easily because you may end up doing more damage if you continue to push.
dont push it girl. give ur body some rest then you can try it again.
wait until you`re not sore you could sprain it
Well you could wait, which would be better, but you could just try it, but it would prolly would be better to wait.
I used to do gymnastics. =]
It was fun lol.
the old adage, no pain no gain, has wrecked many atheletes in the long run. my advice to you is to slow down and let off on the heavy training until the soreness subsides, you'll find your flexibility will improve without having to push so hard
