[QUOTE="Southpaw, post: 519079, member: 5186"] Ah. I've seen that video. I believe he said that doing the MMA workouts was different than Squatting 500lbs in terms of what's being worked. Maybe he still does Squat maybe he just likes to switch his training up. With how durable his family has been in football, I think it's just a little unusual that he's been injured as much as he has been. I think when it comes to Squatting and compound Leg Movements in general, people tend to be quad dominant. The Quads will always be stronger than the hamstrings, regardless of your fitness level. Because of that the Quads will overcompensate for the lack of strength in your hamstrings and glutes and when that happens you end up with imbalances. That could also be attributed to athletes not going deep enough when they Squat, which is all too common among athletes and your average gym goer. If you aren't breaking parallel when you Squat the Hamstrings and Glutes aren't going to get worked very well. Because all the stress is going to stay on your Quads. As it's been said, If our trainers in fact are having the players do more Front Squatting that can also be contributed to the epidemic. Whereas Back Squatting is more Glutes, Hams and Hips. Front Squatting is pretty much all Quads and core. If you look at pretty much every Olympic Weightlifter you can see the Quad to Hamstring Ratio is way out of balance. [/QUOTE]
