squats and muscle imbalance

[muscledog95]

Ok, when I squat I go butt to floor. I couldnt possibly go any lower. With that said, do i have the potential for muscle imbalance by doing squats only?

depends on how your body responds to squats, sometimes one leg will be stronger than the other

so it's a good idea to do some single leg lifts

what exactly is single leg lifts? I do single leg extensions but thats about it

what happens with me when I squat is that I end up gettin my heel of the ground and its just one foot, I think the left one...

it just happens naturally and cant really help it.. maybe my left leg is shorter or somethin

what I mean is ham/quad strength. Any thoughts on that?

You might have weak hamstrings and glutes. You need to sit back more.

stretch your soleus/gastroc. you have a tight calf.....and you need to sit back more.

single leg lifts = bulgarian split squats, steups, lunges etc

depends on the person and how you squat, if you go rock bottom you will not have a problem
