    I may have been coming on to strong with hamstring mobility WOD’s at first, but I have really backed off and performed in moderation over the last couple of months.  I’m going to try and post some footage of my airsquat, squat w/ a load, and deadlift soon.
    @Kaitlin,
    I havent been doing nearly as much for the glutes as I have for the hamstrings, hips, and lower back.  Any suggestions?

    All,

    thanks for the feedback….lots of good info here.
    After doing further research, I think I may be suffering from Hamstring Tendonitis?  Does this sound like a possibility to anyone else?  Everything I’ve read online suggest that only endurance runners are primarily affected with this, which makes me skeptical because I rarely run and if I do, its even rarer that I would run more than 400-800 meters at a time.  Not sure how else to explain the chronic stiffness in the hammies.  I’m also under the impression that hamstring tendonitis pain is generally right above the knee or right below the butt.  My stiffness is right in the belly of my hamstrings.

    Yes..I have been looking up/down stream especially with my hips and lower back. I’ve been doing a lot of mobility work on these two areas for about a year now.

    I was doing something for my hammies every day (stretching, lacrosse balls, bands) until I decided to take a few weeks to let them heal completely….tried to do a good mobility WOD to target the hamstrings yesterday, and they are screaming at me today…very tight.
    I was not injured.
    I think my hydration is pretty good…..I probably drink to much caffeine.
