Is there a simple way to check for a possible imbalane between the hams and the quads ?

Strength

My knees problems (patellar tendinitis) partly come from an imbalance between quads (that I overtrained years ago) and hams

I'm now emphasizing my leg WOs on the posterior chain and I'd like to check if they're now more proportionate

I don't think you really can, but if your RDL is the same or above your squat, then chances are good your posterior chain is strong

I have read that if your frontsquat is around 80% or above of your backsquat then your Hams are strong.
 
posterior can never be strong enough so dont settle

when your knee pain is lesser then youll know youre making progress
