Tight hamstrings are usually a result of weakened glutes. This is because, when the glutes are weak and inactive, the hamstrings have to work harder to help the glutes during hip dominant movements. Over time, all the extra work places the hamstrings under strain, causing them to eventually tighten up. Therefore, when trying to loosen tight hamstrings, the focus should not be on trying to stretch them. Rather, we should go straight to the root cause of the issue, which is usually to strengthen the butt muscles.
