squats for quads + glutes, deadlifts for hamstrings + glutes. not too hard to remember really.
Jaxson Foster
This is common knowledge desu

Why do my hamstrings feel tired after squats?
Christopher Allen
You can train them to be a bit stronger but they won't get bigger. Hamstrings are worked isometrically during squats
Isaac Edwards
Your hamstrings are probably super tight combined with bad hip and ankle mobility. Do you lean forward a lot when you come out of the squat? Is it hard for you to make it to parallel on the way down?
Xavier Bennett
That's me. How do I improve tight hips?
Ryan Clark
feeling it too much in hamstrings while squatting = shit form

No, if anything I'm too upright

Daily stretching routine (not before workouts). Foam roll and actually warm up before squatting. Front squat the same number of reps as you back squat each week. Be patient. Mobility gains take time. Don't pursue higher weight to the detriment of your form. The point is to strengthen your quads. If your quads aren't engaged all the stress is being handled by your knees and lower back.
Thomas Ramirez
Prob buttwink disengaging the quads. Film yourself next time you squat. If your ass rotates under you that solves the mystery.
Ian Walker
they don't?
the only thing that causes stress on the hams during a squat is the upper portion of the hamstring stretching.
Jaxson Torres
knees don't contract if you squat you engage your quads
Gavin James
You'll find that knees don't contract very often.

>tfw hit a squat PR today
>but it was with the safety bar so it doesn't count
Brandon Peterson
Oh shit i thought a buttwink was sticking it out though. Mine rotates under me. I should stick it out instead??? No op btw.

Your bench is more than your squat nigga wtf?
Carter Thompson
My squat form is really deep like this. and my feet are very close together.. coach at school keeps telling me i need to squat like OPs pic.. but i cant seem to stop halfway like that. trying that wide a stance it feels like my ass would shoot forward between my legs flipping me backwards. am i doing something wrong
Luke Gray
Watch this, it might answer your question

Safety bar has always been a good indicator of progress. I've hit ssb PR's over my lb, that translated into an even higher lb PR.
Kevin Stewart
this is helpful thanks. just need to experiment with the stance that works for me
