How often can I stretch my hamstrings?

I have very tight hamstrings. How frequent can I stretch them for maximum mobility benefits? Is 3x daily too much?

Pic related is the stretch I do.

Are there any recommended programs for this?

I too am also interested in the most effective frequency.

Please post non-meme stretches as I am not a 90 year old woman and would like actual stretches a big boy would do.

Yeah, I'm pretty tight so that extreme yoga stuff I've seen recommended would probably not work for me at this point. Baby steps.

Best advice is do as many variations as you can find. Yoga, ballet, Kung Fu, kickboxing, muay thai, pole dancing, whatever stretch video you can see and do them.

You'll notice they all have the same base:stretching muscles

And ofc, do them after warming up, like rope jumping or stationary bike. Start doing dynamic stretches and then static stretches

Check the sticky for the mobility WOD, those are good. Also, get a foam roll for dat dere myofacial massage

this is the best by far. every other hamstring stretch is pretty much a waste of time

Try foam rolling in addition to stretching. Burn the cash and buy one with surface texture (not a smooth foam roll). You'll make quicker progress on gaining mobility by working out the myofascial tissues in addition to the stretching. If you've been exercising for a while, without a good stretch/recovery program in place, your myofascial tissue has tightened up. Foam rolling will help 'unlock' your flexibility.

Thanks, I'll try some different stuff.

Great! Trying this now.

I bought one last week for general use, but didn't know about using it for flexibility/hamstrings. I'll start rolling those out.

Wasn't the odd shapes a meme for simple sales pitch? Is there factual evidence that supports shapes are superior than smooth surface?

that's not a hamstring stretch you tard. that's a hip flexor. The one op posted is the best one. Don't post advice ever again

3x daily is too much. If you stretch too much you'll actually hurt yourself. Make sure you actually warmup before too. There is no rush doing them as well

OP here. I watched that video and was about to attempt it but stopped because it looked like I'd kill myself in that first pose. I'm old man tier tight.

So you think 2x a day hamstring stretching is a good amount? After exercise (or at least walking)?
