Yes you are right this is a better way to squat for quad development but not everyone can squat this way even after a period of increasing flexibility simply because of their biomechanical characteristics. For these ppl I would suggest replacing the squat by leg presses or leg extensions + hip...
Everyone has made good points.
You should never lower the bar so low in SLDLs that your lower back flexes, i.e., rounds. Stop before it starts to round. I see a lot of ppl doing SLDLs by bending at the waist rather than at the hips. This is the wrong way to perform the exercise if you want...
It's unlikely you will develop lats as big as the pros if you aren't using drugs. Anyway, for the look you describe you should specialise in the rearward shrug. Lie on a prone bench* (or adopt the bent-over row positon) and with straight arms shrug the barbell back to bring your shoulder...

Xenadrine RFA 1
Xenadrine EFX (ephadra-free)
Hydroxycut
What I'd like to know is which do you think is the most effective product for fat loss.
