Hi there!
I'm not new to lifting but I have some problems about posterior chain flexibility.
I wrote in this section of the forum because I've been fascinated by olympic lifting, especially for the deepness of athlete's squats in the clean and jerk, so I decided to post in this section because of the experience that you all have in this field.
I'd like to improve the entire posterior chain flexibility to squat down as deep as possible so my question is:
How can I improve posterior chain flexibility? Are there any stretching or stretching routine to achieve this goal?
Thanks in advance!

practice your overhead squats, stretch your hip flexors, practice touching/trying to touch your toes with straight legs. Only do static stretches when you are warmed up. Stretching a cold muscle is a nono.

Well... it's great to see that all I was doing is plain wrong.
I was stretching my hamstrings 3-4 times a day without proper warmup and I was following the advises I found on T-Nation on third world squat to improve the deepness of my squats.
By the way, there is a problem:
I'm not training at the gym in this period, due to my basketball career and other issues, so I'd like to know if there is some other way to obtain the same result that don't involves warming up because I can't warm up every time I stretch during the day!
Thanks in advance for the advises!
