Primary muscles: Hamstrings

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with one leg extended above you, with the hip at ninety degrees. Keep the other leg flat on the floor.
  2. Loop a belt, band, or rope over the ball of your foot. This will be your starting position.
  3. Pull on the belt to create tension in the calves and hamstrings. Hold this stretch for 10-30 seconds, and repeat with the other leg.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Hamstring Stretch from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Hamstrings volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
