Please help me Please

Answer 1

i doubt it's because of your arms. You need a lot of back flexibility to do a scorpion, your arms don't really do much. You should get a stunt strap from coreathletics.com and use it all the time until you get your scorpions!

Answer 2

get into the right leg splits and work on pulling the left (back) leg up towards your head. also get a rope and stand and put the rope around your foot and pull it up. work on good bridges and pull your hands in towards your feet
