My hamstrings are extremely tight and it affected my squatting yesterday. I tried stretching them for a bit but to no avail. I was wondering what some good hamstring stretches that people have found to work well?
Do you have a foam roller available? That does wonders for me.
Also, check out DeFranco's Agile 8 as a warmup; there's a few guys around here that swear by it.

I personally like some SLDL but just let it hang. That always helps me.

Do some Glute Ham Raises prior to squatting

X2 on this. Single leg dead lifts are great for streching, pick up a moderate weight and let it hang (not for long time). I would do it only if my back gets back to a 100%. I miss deadlifting....
