 First question is from Matt Brandt 67. I only feel back squats in my quads And I am I doing something wrong or is that how it is with some people? Yeah, it's very common Yeah, quads are one of the main muscles you're gonna develop in in barbell squats Obviously it hits the glutes and the hamstrings as well There's nothing wrong with that now if if you're saying that when you squat you really develop your quads and you see very little or no development in other areas or You feel pain in some areas or your form is off then I would look at Strengthening some of the other muscles or changing your form and technique and going lighter But otherwise it's quite common to feel it mostly in the quads if you do feel it in your glutes It tends to be the day after where you get a little bit sore. Yeah, this doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong, but I would say Most people that I taught how to squat or watch them squat for the first time We're quad dominant and a lot of that had to do with their mechanics And or their inability to get their glutes to like fire properly, right? So it's very common to have people with like tight hip flexors from sitting down all day Which when you have really tight hip flexors and you get into the squad position It tends to cause more of a forward lean, right? So then your your chest kind of falls over Forward more more so much depth in your squad, right? So then so then you so then you're going over Your your weight and the barbell are shifting over the quads more than it is kind of more mid quad Right where we kind of like it to be because you but you can't be upright Enough so then you get that and then to the point that Justin just made so I do think that even though it doesn't mean anything is wrong I think that most people when they learn to squat have got some issues that they got to address and work on to Perform their squat better and feel it more than you know what? I don't feel my glutes as much while I'm squatting as I do afterwards Same thing like when it while I'm squatting it feels like my quads are taking a lot when I get sore I'll feel like oh, yeah, definitely. Well, yeah, unless I'm doing like a pause squat I'm really trying to emphasize the bottom in the depth of the squat Which is something I would recommend if this is an issue and you're not really connecting well And there's a lot of ways to connect to the glutes and obviously priming is a big part of that So to spend some time in that direction and you know do anything that you can do to kind of pre Sort of fire them up beforehand going into your back loaded squats. I think that'll help to kind of balance You know the load there between the quads and the glutes I did a YouTube video. Maybe Andrew can link it right here and it was I think it's the most viral one. We did it was the one of the three seekers to make your butt grow To Justin's point about what he's talking about and that video isn't just for girls that want to make their butt grow It's also for guys that want their butt to fire more when they're doing squats So watch that video. I think the the priming moves that I take you through before you get into squatting I think well, I'd say that here's how you know something's wrong. Obviously if you hurt in a way That's not that you're not supposed to hurt like muscles burning. That's fine Joint pain is an issue if you feel it in your back a lot that tends to be a big issue Your knees or your ankles a lot that tends to be a big issue And then if you're somebody that like, you know We're saying wants to develop your glutes and you've been squatting and your glutes don't seem to be changing But your quads are then I would say, you know, do some hip thrusts first or prime properly watch your technique To it to fix that but if you just feel squats in your quads And everything else is good.
