Place your feet wider for more emphasis on the back, glutes, adductors, and hamstrings, or closer together for
more quad development.
If you want to focus
on quad development or start learning the olympic lifts down the line, switch to high bar squats and front squats.
-- Triceps, chest, and shoulder development with a sturdy dip grip — Core, lower back, and
quad development with a padded captain's chair — Chest, serratus, and arm sculpting with floor - level push - up grips — Lat, bicep and shoulder targeting with a comfortable chin bar — Explosive six - pack cutting with shin support — Smooth coated steel tubing, and sewn vinyl pads for ultimate comfort
You need to balance
the quad development from the squats with some hamstring exercises.
The athletes in this video use the high - bar back squat as the high - bar back squat focuses more on the front side (
quad development), whereas the low - bar back squat focuses more on the development of the posterior chain (hamstring and glutes).
I have found that doing a set of front squats after completing my back squats is taking
my quad development, calf strength and ankle mobility to the next level.
