Overdeveloped Quads- HELP!!!

[Robboe]

Just one last question: Do squats work more of the hamstrings or more of the quads??

Both.

Squats are generally for quads, but the glutes are the primary movers.

Anything below parallel includes more hamstring.

 

[b fold the truth]

With squats, the depth and the foot position will play a large role in you quad recruitment. I usually use a stance where my toes point straight ahead and my feet are exactly shoulder width apart for quad growth and strength mainly. Lately I have been widening my stance and pointing my toes slightly outward to help improve my overall body strength and I feel it more in my glutes and hams. Make any sense?

Power lifters use a wider stance to shorten the ROM.

I use that stance cause with my height it is the best, most comfortable way for me to go deep.

Use a stance you find comfortable.
