[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 123605, member: 18023"] As to lower back pain, it's kind of a dual ache after riding a lot. I was going on this sort of information common on the internet. [B]Madman, don't you agree with the followning?[/B] First, by pulling the front of the pelvis down, [B]tight quads[/B] can lead to [B]tight[/B] and painful [B]lower back[/B]muscles. Second, [B]tight quads[/B] can contribute to weak hamstring muscles. ... Both scenarios affect your pelvic alignment, which in turn, may affect your posture and [B]pain[/B] levels Tight Quads Overpower Hamstrings [URL="https://www.verywellhealth.com/quadriceps-and-back-health-how-do-they-relate-297060"]Tight Quads - How to Tell and What to Do[/URL] When I do weight training, I do some focus on working my hamstring muscles as my quads get plenty of work biking. After riding I do couch quad stretches, which feel good, however once in a while after riding a couple of hours that will trigger a cramp in my hamstring, which I shouldn't get. That is when the epsom salt bath really helps. At the gym, I do stretching like kneeling shin stretch to a double quad stretch, but I can only get back to my hands, not to my elbows and I think it's impossible for me to get to the position with my back on the floor. Maybe after a while I could get to my elbows in the double quad stretch. This also feels good. I also do Janu Sirsasana or Head-to-Knee Forward Bend, but I can only grab my foot with both hands, that is as far as I can get on that hamstring stretch. Doesn't particularly "feel good" as I get a little pain on the hamstring /tendon attachment to the knee on this stretch. I can "touch my toes" but can't get my palms on the floor on that sort of stretch. I also do some groin stretches and IT band stretching and those can be problem areas. What I really should work on but don't is my lack of shoulder flexibility. I think that is the most serious lack of flexibility. When I try a shoulder flexibility test like the as the reach test or the Apley back scratch test, I can only get my hands about 10 inches apart, good flexibility would be for my fingers to touch.
