Quadiceps

[DWx]

Does anyone know any good stretches for lengthening your quads? Mine seem very tight lately and it can be absolute agony when doing slow front kicks as they tighten and lock up.

At the moment the only streches I know are:

1. Standing, bending one leg at the knee and holding it from behind.

2. Splits sort of position with one leg in front and one leg behind, (can be done with either the front leg flat on the floor or the foot on the floor so the knee is bent) and

3. Kneeling on the floor and then lying back

Kneel on one knee, with the leg trailing behind, with the other leg out to your front, and lean toward your front leg.

You can also do the standing stretch, grabbing your ankle, and slowly lower your upper body, making a T shape.
