Only stretches I really put in a decent amount of time on is lower body cuz I'm prone to getting leg cramps and injuries.

Its incredible tho, once I started doing a rally good amount of stretching on my legs I immediately stopped having the cramps, don't get the usual minor injuries/ joint pain, and my PR's immediately went up.

Kind of crazy how many benefits can come from stretching. The feeling of being to tight gets very annoying, so I know what you mean. I get cramps in my calves & hamstrings pretty often. I'll work on that when I start lifting again.
