hamstring work and squat

[muscledog95]

Im squatting 2 to 3 times a week right now (doing a russian type program). Should I do ham curls as well to make sure im getting my hams good as well?

How do you squat? Mine is mostly hams, that's why I ask.

 

[muscledog95]

little more then shoulder width apart

Ok, but do you sit back really far, or do your knees come forward of your ankles? Do you have pics or vids? I almost never feel my squats in my quads, although they get hit, the hams and glutes take the real beating.

i feel my quads hardening up as a rock..but dont know how to flex the hams to see if its getting hit good as well

thats hard to see. if you sit back more youll recruit your hams more instead of your quads. i mean sit back really far, so your knees dont move forward at all.

when i squat, my hams and lower back are always more sore than my quads.
