I know the standard ones, but often someone has a gem that's worked for them. Anything I should really be doing? Muchas gracias.

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22465 posts	I always felt that my lack of ankle flexibility impeded my dead lifting ability. Never did anything about it though

Lean to one side trying to put pressure on the ankle Great for increasing ankle mobility and stretching you achilles and soleus Not great if you wanted a simply easy to do stretch I know But it's not a quick job but the best one If you want simple stretches you may find they are more superficial and less effective I feel Stretching the joints around the ankle...is the knee... Is only going to be of benefit Hopefully you're convinced

Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts	Coming back to this... We can't have too many stretches to pick from so I actually would like more now I mean who ever said that they don't want to be more mobile anyway...? Yeah let's hit some new challenging ankle stretches... Also knee some new knee ones would be great... I'm hitting the sofa or couch stretch whatever it's called with bands currently

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	If you really want to push it you could try that barbell across the knees stretch. Around 02:10 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwLM5n-rYmA You could raise your toes by sticking something underneath them, and really go to town on that.

1000 post points - NAILED Member 2026, 1344 posts SQ 195, BP 152.5, DL 235 582.5 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq	best one is simply go into a really deep stretch for 30s or a minute after a set of calf raises: like an agonisingly deep stretch lol benefits: calfs walm therefore more plyable/less likely to tear through being cold while stretching AND has growth potential
