    I feel like I finally learned to use my ass squatting. Feels good man.

    But I also felt that while I got a 5/5/4, the first set was hard as hell, and form broke down a bit in the last set and started to engage my quads too much there and not enough hamstrings and adductors. Feels bad man.

    Should I back down to a bit lower weight or should I continue?

    Stand up from your chair using only quads.

    Now do it while squeezing your glutes and hamstrings as well.

    Which was easier?
