True. But I have long femurs so reps are never going to look super deep compared to people that have longer tibias. Physically I can get lower, though I'm not sure that's necessary

Butt + shoulders against the wall.
I also do some seated hamstring stretches with a band to just help me get deeper and deeper until I can touch my toes. It's progress, because I used to not be able to touch my toes! Hopefully soon I'll be able to easily hold onto my feet.
At home I also sit on the floor (no rug, it's carpeted) with a lax ball under my hamstring and I just move my legs around a little until I hit a gnarly spot in my hams and then I work it out for a while.
