what stretches target these muscles?

nothing i try really reaches these exact spots and they hurt when i squat.

they start hurting less on the last set, so i figure i need to find some way to warm them up without squatting.

Fuck.

Also yeah, lunges and laying belly-down on your thigh, either straight-legged or bent knee, if you feel like being thorough.

Lunge and pigeon pose can target your hip flexor well

Also get a sports massage/see your physio or chiro. Really helps.
