streching and no results...wtf?

[kiosk]

Been doing daily stretching for a couple months, mainly for my stiff hams and hips so I can squat better...I do like 2-3 stretch movements a day but I dont feel I getting any loose, still stiff like a rock..wtf? any ideas? does this take a really long time?

Pm treilin


She helped me on some hip flexor stretches that really make me feel more comfortable through the hips....

As far as hams go - do stiff db deads last in your routine to help with the tightness......then move to doing them with the balls of the feet elevated.

Are you running before you stretch? if not then do a light jog for a little bit then stretch, then repeat .
