This is one of the most ingrained myths in the fitness industry: front squats train your quads and back squats train your hamstrings and glutes more. I'm here to tell you today that's 100% false. The squat trains the squat muscles and does NOT exclusively train any specific muscle or group of muscles just by moving where you hold the bar on your body.

No he didn’t really tear his hamstring, the machine just broke. BUT - if you have hamstring pain, be sure to also assess other areas as it’s not always a hamstring problem! .Shout out @jack_eagles for the opening stitched video! | Squat University

The single leg box squat or touchdown is one of the most important assistant exercise for any athlete. Everyone should be capable of performing this, even those who cannot perform a full pistol squat. Today I’m performing a weighted version of this exercise by holding a kettle bell starting on a 12 inch box and then moving up to an 18 inch box. As you squat down, keep your knee in line with your feet. Often athletes will start their descent and allow their knee to waver inward. This is a clear s

Another way to stretch tight hip flexors is with an ‘active stretch’. This type of stretch can increase flexibility of tight muscles while at the same time ‘turning on’ muscles that are often inactive (like the glutes) in order to re-establish balance to the hip muscles and fix the root cause for the original tightness. The active stretch I want to show you is called a Prone Leg Lift. Start by lying on your stomach. Next, bend your knee of the leg you want to stretch to 90 degrees. Try to relax

This assistant exercise can be an excellent tool to strengthen the posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings) along with improving core stability and coordination of movement in a way that carries over to a better squat, deadlift, clean or snatch. However, you MUST perform it correctly to get the most benefit! . 1) Use your same squat stance. 2 Load your glutes and hamstrings by hinging at the hips - don't squat it. 3) Lead with your hips on the descent and ascent. 4) Keep a neutral or slightly ext

Want to improve flexibility of your hamstrings? The routine @movementbydavid shows can be helpful - however, for someone with tight hamstrings AND low back pain, we need to be careful what types of stretches are used so we don’t push into your triggers for pain! For a lot of people also, as you treat the root cause of pain correctly & wind down the symptoms of pain - your natural hamstring flexibility returns without having to stretch.

The touchdown progression is my favorite way to slowly improve your single leg squat quality & depth. While not everyone will be capable of a FULL DEPTH pistol squat, we all have the capability to do a quality single leg squat off at least a 12 inch height stack of plates. . The reason this progression is so helpful is that it requires you to focus on control & balance. Holding onto something (like a suspension trainer) may allow you to go deeper with your squat but doesn’t challenge your contro

The back squat is an awesome exercise for quads, glutes, and overall lower body strength, but it does not meaningfully build the hamstrings for most lifters. Here’s why: in a back squat, the hamstrings cross both the hip and the knee. As you descend, the knee flexes (which shortens the hamstrings) while the hip flexes (which lengthens them), so the overall hamstring length and tension do not change much through the range. End result, the hamstrings mostly act as stabilizers and co-contractors, w
