squat help

[Tiervexx]

i know that there are many assistance exercises to help with the bottom, middle, and top parts of the bench motion but are there exercises like this for squats?

i only recently switched from parallel to deep squats so i need help with the bottom 6 inches, are there any exercises that will help me besides more deep squats?

try boxes or if you're looking for an exercise other than squats try working your hips.

Could this be a hip strength thing?

(bent-leg) pull-throughs seem to be good for the hips

sumo deadlifts are good for the hips, too.

I found an exercise online that works the bottom of the squat. I've yet to try it. "One-fourth Squat from Rock Bottom"

Great link, Makedah! I bet those 1/4 squats from bottom would help me out with my squat problem, too.

Dude i had the same problem....After squats I did either Hack squats or Deep squats on the machine. just 3 sets, as deep as i can go. but i didnt go all the way up, just over half way, to keep the tension on part of the movement you are weak in....

makedah hit the nail on the head, those are the exercises i do to work hips. don't know about hack squats though seems like those are more a body builder exercise?
