Stretching with hypermobility?

Discussion

I am quite hypermobile all across the board, to the point where typical stretching does not come close to having the effect it should have on my muscles. It's become more difficult to do heavier excercise when my muscles aren't properly stretched beforehand. I've looked up a handful of videos for alternate stretches, but I just don't feel that muscle pull that everyone talks about (or that I felt as a kid) and I'm getting muscle stiffness more often. I only get the proper stretching feeling when I happen to push past the normal range of motion, which I know I shouldn't to since it harms the joints over time.

Does anyone have a routine or schema I could be pointed toward to help? Any sort of advice would be wonderful.
