In fact, front and back squats are more similar than they are different — both require massive amounts of strength / stability in the hips and core, as well as requisite «access» to hip flexion, knee extension, and ankle dorsiflexion — so I really see little need to get all territorial about which one is better.

The hip muscles act on three mutually perpendicular main axes, all of which pass through the center of the femoral head, resulting in three degrees of freedom and three pair of principal directions: Flexion and extension around a transverse axis (left - right); lateral rotation and medial rotation around a longitudinal axis (along the thigh); and abduction and adduction around a sagittal axis (forward - backward); [29] and a combination of these movements (i.e. circumduction, a compound movement in which the leg describes the surface of an irregular cone).

Avoid forward flexion of your neck, particularly during work - outs with weights, as this movement can reverse the proper forward curve in the neck, and therefore interfere with your adjustment (which aims to restore and maintain proper alignment).

When assessing maximal knee angle (flexion), mean power output in the concentric phase a squat exercise, and vastus lateralis EMG amplitude, the test - re-test reliability measured by the coefficient of variation (COV) ranged between 5.3 — 7.8 %, which suggests that these measurements are comparatively consistent but not perfectly replicable.

The elite Olympic weightlifters did display a greater isokinetic concentric knee flexion torque but the extent to which hamstring strength is relevant to Olympic weightlifting is unclear.

Correspondingly, the five phases that can be described between these positions are as follows: (1) the first pull happens between the ground and when the bar reaches knee level and is initiated by knee and hip extension; (2) the transition happens when the barbell is between knee level and the power position and involves a shift in the position of the body relative to the barbell, which involves a brief period of knee flexion and is therefore referred to as the double knee bend (Enoka, 1979; 1988); (3) the second pull is the most powerful phase of the lift and occurs while the barbell is between the power position and the lifter is in triple extension; (4) turnover occurs as the lifter quickly drops down under the bar from the triple extension position to the catch position, in a deep front squat; (5) recovery into the standing position occurs as the lifter stands from the catch position to upright.

They're called hip flexors because they create flexion in the hip, which is the technical term for a bending movement around a joint in a limb that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint (such as the knee or elbow).

Preacher curls only work on elbow flexion, which means you're missing 50 % of the muscle's action.

namely gluteus minimus and piriformis, which switch between internally and externally rotating the hip, depending on the degree of flexion the joint is in.

The joint should be assessed in both hip flexion and extension as the change in position affects muscle function of some of the prime movers here — namely gluteus minimus and piriformis, which switch between internally and externally rotating the hip, depending on the degree of flexion the joint is in.

It is suggested that this works due to the ability of the exercise to increase the peak eccentric force of the hamstrings at shallower angles of knee flexion (the knee is more extended) vs. a leg curl which puts a premium on concentric force when the knee is in full flexion.
