I need to work on flexibility in my glutes, hammies, quads (basically my entire leg). I also am unable to do an overhead squat with the bar. That [censored] is hard. So perhaps shoulder strength/flexibility.

For my hamstrings, I do the lying hammy stretch with a towel. I also do a standing up stretch, where I bend down (hips and knees) and put my fingers under my toes, then try to straighten my back and push my butt out and up.

I do the standard quad and calf stretches as well.

I can't stretch my glutes without putting my knee in a bad spot.

Also, I don't do static stretches before I lift. I just make sure I can get into a "prayer" position in the bottom of a full squat. I do a lot of bodyweight squats before I actually put any load on as well. From what I've heard, static stretching reduces power temporarily, so I do it on off days or after workouts.

I have a broomstick, any good ideas for arm/shoulder stretches?
