When I attended Master Lin's level II class, his assistant Randy told us all about performing the Full Lotus and how it was definite struggle for him. In one of his stories he told us about how after spraining his right leg (or something similar to that) he called up Master Lin, who gave a short laugh and then told him (Randy) to simply lift the leg above the other leg like always despite how much it hurt.
So sorry, but I just don't see myself getting past this without pushing myself, if just a little bit.

Even Master Lin states in his video that these stretches are going to hurt at first, but as long as you keep at it your body will eventually adjust. I don't see anyone reason why I should doubt these two guys when they seem to be doing just fine.
