Instead of getting a bunch of in - direct work from squats and deadlifts, why not try some direct work such as hip thrusts, glute bridges, reverse hypers, glut - ham raises, and heavy kettle bell swings.
PS: I'm the weird older lady (57) at the gym smiling while doing 20 - 30 minutes of heavy lifting, kettlebell work and squats — while the rest sweat it out on the treadmill for an hour or three!
