Yet you still have ignorant aholes selling ebooks with the notion that squats don't build glutes but cable leg kicks are better. 🤨 Most of these amateurs simply can't do or teach a great squat. Stay away from amateurs! #Repost @themusclephd (@get_repost) ・・・ 💥 I’ve already posted on this a few times, but it’s clear that the misconception continues. Several studies over the years have found that the hamstrings are minimally active in the squat. Finally, we have studies showing that the hamstrings experience very little growth from squats – even when undergoing training programs with super deep squats. However, the adductors do experience significant growth! Due to the anatomical position of the adductors, these muscles are likely the prime hip extensors in positions of deep hip and knee flexion – AKA, squatting positions. - ▪️ Based on: Kubo, K., Ikebukuro, T., & Yata, H.
