Hamstring Tear

Does the squat hurt it?

I only know that it hurts when I squat. I can probably do 225 3x5 without too much trouble, or a lighter weight for much higher reps. I can probably go heavier than 225, but just concerned that it will get worse. What do you recommend?

If the motion doesn't hurt it, the injured area is not being worked, and isn't being forced to adapt. So, you squat. The sets of 25 program works for this very well.
