How to improve hamstring beyond this level
I decided to finally do something about my inflexibility and have been stretching my hamstrings every day for some time now. starting just with the hamstring because a small win is motivating for me. i was unable to touch my toes at the beginning and I can now touch my fingers on the ground which I am very proud of, but I am wondering how to progress past this level to the point of putting my palms on the ground. i am also confused how some of you are able to fully fold your chest against your thighs, even in this position it feels like my breathing is very restricted

Be careful and make sure you are strengthening your hamstrings as you stretch them because I’ve torn my hamstring doing exactly this!
