# 3 - I injured myself with stretching

In this episode of the Kruse Elite Podcast, I share a brief story about how I injured my hamstring with stretching. I explain how using a "seek and destroy" mentality and chasing tightness with repetitive stretching is a bad idea. I introduce some simple solutions that are much more effective tools for when you have that stubborn chronic tension that just wont go away. And, how you can actually assess your response to any exercise that you're trying by using our immediate feedback assessment process, which is a total game changer!
