How to do it

  1. Warm up lightly first so your muscles are not cold.
  2. Move through stretches for the areas you want to loosen, holding each without bouncing.
  3. Breathe slowly and stretch only to mild tension, never pain.
  4. Log the total time.

Track it with MyoAmigo

Barbell Squat progress: next session's target of 290 lb × 7, an estimated 1RM PR of 357 lb, rep maxes, and the e1RM trend chart
e1RM trend, per lift

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Stretching 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.
