1:09 Mistake 1: Need to anteriorly tilt hips to stretch hamstrings. If you only use the hip hinge to stretch your hamstrings you will reach a point in which you literally cannot go any further and then the rest will have to be completed by the lower back. 2:08 Restriction: Do some calf stretching and Sciatic nerve flushing. 3:19 Need to stretch with enough intensity. Hamstrings are big muscles and respond to high intensity stretching, e.g. Romanian Deadlift. Exercise 4:46 Standing Single Leg Good Morning - stretch through hip hinge and neutral spine. 5:35 Wall Hamstring Rock (8-12 reps per side, pause on last rep) - think about contracting the quads and pulling the leg back into the socket to relax the hamstrings.

Great information Tom. Indeed sciatic and calf can impact a lot your hamstrings flexibility. As well, the plantar fascia (related to the calf as well) can limit that same ROM of the Hamstrings. A simple thing like using a lacross ball to release it will improve tremendously the ROM of the hamstrings!

big fan, honestly stumbled on your channel after watching saturno for a month and found out loads of content much better explained, like the pace of your videos as well, thats what i was looking for, great beginners routine for the pull ups and push ups, id say my fav. one question though, i was doing romanian dead lift and felt some pressure in my lower back, so if u r looking for tutorial ideas, the one on a deadlift would be nice, should we anterior tilt since u say we do anterior in stretching the hamstrings? cheers

Hi Tom, Thanks for making such insightful and coherent videos. They have inspired me greatly to pursue greater flexibility as a healthy way of living. It would be great if you could advise me on an issue. I believe this could be a concern for many other people, which is why I decided to ask in public. At age twelve, I suffered from an ACL injury on my left leg. It seems that I have not completely recovered from that, since whenever I try to go deep into a hamstring stretch, my left leg jerks in an obnoxious way and it feels like I might break it. Would you still recommend me to go deep till that stops happening, or should I take a different approach? Thank!

Never been able to strech down, and this had always affected my training and performance in athletic. I've never had a clue about how to fix it and only now I realise that it can be for my wrong hip posture, and for the ankles too. Also if I walk long I have low back pain and still I bet it is due to my hip which is in the wrong position... Now I try these exercises.... thank you very much indeed....

I too feel some sciatic pain, but that’s greatly improved from doing the nerve flossing shown in the video. I could reach only up to my shins earlier, now I can go down to my toes for a pike. However, I’ve been having trouble going deeper than that. I need to grab my ankles and pull further down, I can’t seem to generate strength to touch my palms to the floor without that pull. Do I need to build my core strength to get a deeper pike stretch?

Hi Tom, great video and info here. At the moment I am very tight and struggling to even touch my toes - so i'm at the single leg good morning stage (bending to around 40-50 degrees). At 4:10 of the video you suggested tight individuals will benefit from training with intensity - By this do you mean it will be beneficial to train with weight? - such as the Romanian dead lift? If so how can I perform this properly? Would I bend over straight back to my max range of motion? - very loaded question here!

Low weight but high reps normally keeping very strict movement. I have EDS and keeping the weight down means I can watch what I'm doing closely and the high number of reps means you're still getting a good workout. Also low impact cardio like cycling is brilliant for building muscle around the hips and knees which helps support the joints alongside the ligaments and tendons

Aurélien Carnoy It has been heavily researched and most debunks the need for stretching to improve flexibility. Poor evidence that it helps prevent injury Poor evidence it improves flexibility Good evidence that it improves range of motion - but flexibility and range of motion are different.
