All it "knows" when squatting is that a huge load is trying to squash you into the ground, and if you don't lift that load you die! Your body isn't after balanced development, but rather survival. However, as with all other compound movements, your body will always strive to use the muscle or parts of a muscle that are best suited to do the job.

They were big, but not really that impressive. ![]() However, they looked like two big pieces of meat with little form, shape, or detail. During that time my quads were actually much larger than they are now. Finally, many guys (and even more gals) lack quadriceps separation, especially in the middle portion of the muscle group (rectus femoris and sartorius).īack in my Olympic lifting days, I'd squat 'til the cows came home, then squat some more.
