1)elevate the heel in squats (I know you (icars) already do this I think).
2)do parallel squats instead of ATG and use heavier loads.
Or doing leg press, keep the feet close together and as far 'down' as possible on the pushplate to put more stress on quads and less on hams/glutes.
Of course, as everyone knows, putting more stress on quads means putting more stress on the patellar tendon, so lift in a controlled manner, no jerking motion or you may strain your knee tendons.</div>
ive found raising the heals hits my quads and calves harder,and ive been doing parrallel for a while so it seems i have it covered,but my legs are my main concern
may have to change gyms
i alternate between wide stance and narrow on squats so lets just see what happens.and i dont really like hack squats but might try them also.
