    just lunge forward and grab your toes.... it will be painful, but you can just hold on.


    also if you twist your torso just very slightly, you can gain about 1/2 in to 1in at your fingertips, just put the hand opposite the side your twisting under the hand of the side you are twisting, so they only see your longest part.
