I did get it. One of my buddies has stopped by my house the past two days after the gym and asked me to stretch his hammies. The first day, he was very inflexible. The second day, he was a good bit more flexible. He said that because I was stretching him, his hamstrings weren't as short. I didn't think that was right, but he wouldn't want to hear the difference if I told him. People are funny.
From this article I learned that....my legs are short because they are not flexible and they have poor ROM.
