I pretty much have an idea on the answer, but I have been going hard on deep stretching since the beginning of the year and have only started mastering techniques and forms during the summer. I go hard at the gym with strength training and deep stretching and am considering just taking a full 7 day rest of just relaxing and light movement. I'm hoping I won't lose progress with my flexibility since I'm much newer to this discipline.

This is a hypothetical. If I’m just used to this position, no discomfort or strain, can I just sit in my splits? Eventually my goal is to have my baseline mobility to be naturally flexible.

I'm new to this world of flexibility. I only started training 8 months ago and I wanna do this properly. I've accomplished my front splits and am better at opening my hips now, but I typically do all this before strength training. What are your recommendations for healthy split between strength and flexibility?

I'm mostly joking, but my end goal is to be as flexible as Tate McRae

For some context, I've only been out of job for about a week and a half. I'm pretty confident in myself and I have a lot of savings, but I understand with life and bills that I'll need a job. I got an offer shortly after a week, but I wasn't super psyched about the interview/interviewer. Without knowing too much about the company, I was asked to make huge commitments; they were expecting me to stay with them long term 2+ years and hiring manager wasn't too kind(so im surprised I got the offer). I don't wanna accidentally walk into a toxic work environment just because I need a job right now. Should I swallow my pride and accept it, or allow myself to be in the market a little longer.

P.S. For career context, I've been wanting to move my career into working for fancy art galleries and museums.
