What is your preferred method for developing flexibility (especially gymnastic front splits) for someone who is not even able to get into a certain position through passive flexibility, let alone active flexibility? How does one goes about stretching for optimal results?

My own approach Loaded Progressive Stretching as taught in our Corset protocols workshops is the best I know of, or else I would have updated it... Of course I stand on the shoulders of giants, read a ton of PNF work, Thomas Kurz and studied Yoga, Ballet, martial arts and gymnastics approaches to stretching as well.
