Seeking Advice Can I take a flexibility class after weight training, or should I leave a few hours or a day between them?

Reposting because I messed up the title.

I'm very confused with this because some people say to absolutely not do both close to each other but other people say that is good to do the flexibility class after a weight trainining because the muscles would be warm already so to just go ahead and do weights and then flexibility class.

I'm specifically speaking about legs glutes workout and split work out. My plan is to do a split train on wednesday, same day I also do weight training focused on the glutes and legs. It is true that is good to do it before the flexibility class because the muscles will be warmed up? Can I do glute/leg workout and follow it with a split workout?

Thank you in advance.

Please forgive any mistakes, english is not my main language.

i am 31 and male. this took me roughly 3-4 months of training 3 times a week to achieve. my training sessions were about 60 to 75 minutes long.

exercises used in my training sessions:

>sciatic nerve stretch
>peacock pose
>child pose
>pelvic butterflies
>pike pose
>standing pike pose
>bridge pose
>frog pose
>pancake pose - Wide AND narrow
>wall assisted side splits
>windshield wipers
>cobra pushups
>cobra feet to head
>half splits/forward folded half splits

I also used peptides, creatine, fish oils, whey protein, and supplemented vitamin D/magnesium to improve recovery from training.

my next goal: to achieve full side splits!!!

Seeking Advice Fairly flexible but huge asymmetry in my shoulders

I (50f) have always been pretty flexible - I don’t have a stretching routine but I can fairly easily do things like forward splits, palms on floor etc. I only score 1 on the hypermobility test though.

The exception is my shoulders, where I’ve got significant asymmetry. I’m right handed but can’t explain the difference otherwise.

Any suggestions on how I can become more balanced?

The other photos are just to show general range but feedback on those would also be appreciated.

To be clear, I have no idea what I’m doing so it could all be completely incorrect form! 😂

Thank you for any advice

Edit: What’s with the DMs? Save it, I’m not interested.
