WATCH: Australian rugby star’s hamstring stretch routine is almost too strenuous to believe

Holy hell

Patrick McCarry

If your hamstrings are not stretched after trying this routine, there is no help for them.

Ed Jenkins is on the road to the Rio Olympics and, like any good athlete, is getting a good stretch in.

The Wallabies’ Sevens Rugby captain shared this sheerly astounding video, this morning, of a routine that had our jaws dropping.

At first, it looks as though Jenkins is pulling off the move through core and leg power alone. He bloody well is but he does have coach Will Stuart keeping his feet anchored.

Still, we tried it in the office this morning and went nose-first into the shag carpet.

Strewth!
