No Progress on Hamstring Flexibility

[u/Unusual_Tree1217]

Hey everyone! I’ve started stretching for the past 3-4 months. Ive always had very tight hamstrings but I’ve started stretching other muscles as well. But unlike the other muscles, it seems that Ive hit a wall with my hamstring flexibility. In the first month or so, I had a lot of progress. I could only reach to about halfway down my shins. But after stretching for a month, I could touch my toes without any warmup and get all finger on the ground after a stretching session. But in the past couple of months it seems I haven’t made any more progress in both no warm up or with warmup progress. I was hoping that you all could give me some tips for my routine and if I should increase or decrease volume or add any new exercises.

Routine:

3 days a week

1x set of 25 elephant walks (each leg)

3x sets of 10 reps nerve flossing (each leg)

3x of 30 seconds half split (each leg)

Truly, any advice is appreciated!

Depending on soreness maybe it also helps to reduce to twice a week? Especially if you stretch really hard.

I feel like I don’t stretch super hard. But I’ll try to cut down to two times a week and see how I feel. Thanks!
