Three half-hour sessions of long, patient stretching with a measurable goal: palms to the floor, a full-depth squat, arms straight overhead. Slower and deeper than the mobility plan — this one is for changing range, not maintaining it.

Rest days can move — keep the order.
Every session lands in your routines as it is written here. Change the exercises, sets, reps, rest and days afterwards — it is yours once it is there.

Hold every stretch at a six out of ten and breathe out into it; the pull should fade during the hold, and only then do you go deeper. Two rounds in weeks one and two, three from week three. Measure once a fortnight: fingertips to floor, knee to floor in the 90/90, back knee down in the couch stretch, elbows straight in the overhead reach. Do it in the evening or after training, never cold before lifting. A light band is the only kit.
