Quads are sore, can it be from doing squats?

[fredemurray]

I started doing squats. I watched a lot of Rip's videos to get my form. I started at 135 and added 5 lbs each work out. Now at 225, my quads are sore. My hamstrings were only sore the at 135 and 140 lbs, never since. Can this be from squats or should I be looking to something else

Sure. Could be. Could be a combination of things you're doing Remember that soreness primarily shows up from eccentric work, especially if that work is not frequent enough to allow you to be conditioned to it.
