Are you a Glute squater or Quad squater

[Enock]

As I understand it powerful squats are primarily from the glutes. I'm a quad squatter my self as in thats where I feel most of the pressure and work being done.

Both, but mostly quads

 

[ZZuluZ]

Glute squatter as I go all the way down.

I try to stay as upright as possible during squats.Front squats are my primary exercise, as they are easier for upright posture and hit the quads better.

Hits the glutes a little more than the quads. My butt was getting suspicously large during my last cycle.

Glutes. I got some back here. I'm working on adjusting my form, moving at the knees first and then the hips.

 

[The mann]

wide squats and i sit back in it,but i also like to hit the front with leg presses or hacks......

 

[bignate73]

dont know, but both look good.

 

[theoak01]

about even i go all the way down so i get the best of both worlds,power/size

 

[Thaibox]

I probably hit my glutes a little too much 'cause I go to the floor.

 

[Belial]

Last I checked, I used both.

 

[NewGuy1980]

Well as far as immediate muscle fatigue, I can feel it more in my quads, but 12 hrs later, my glutes start screaming bloody murder compared to my quads.

 

[kracker]

Glutes dont hurt as mucn, but prob get worked far more. I go all the way down to the floor, wide stance.
I definatly feel the quads taking the load too.

 

[Benzi]

the further down i go, the more i seem to hit my glutes

 

[scotty green]

They hit my glutes alot more than I would like. I swiched to fronts and have had much better results. also my back is in much better shape now

Not to sound dumb or anything but I love to squat but I have a problem with one knee. I know I should wrap but I don't. I usually hit quads mostly in squats and use a squat press for glutes but I want to work my glutes more. Being a female, this doesn't seem easy for me. Is that the trick, going farther down. Some people say feet forward, feet back, whatever. I've heard so many different answers. I would love the info. I find I get better info from men and would rather train with men. Most of them train harder than women. Thanks for all info given.
