  1. Tweaked hamstrings and a lack of stability sounds bad. Not sure where this came from. Remember that stretching is either a) relaxing the muscle and gaining range of movement through the muscle units turning off and actually allowing you to move... or b) a sequence of creating tension in a muscle in a stretched position and then relaxing it to gain more ROM.
    You should never try to force a stretch.
