[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Squats work the quads more than the hamstrings and glutes.

You need to do deadlift and lunges.

Romanian deadlifts
Bulgarian split squats
reverse lunges[/quote]

If you do squats correctly, they will work your glutes. You have to do them so that your knees track forward as little as possible, like you are truly sitting back into a chair. In a proper squat, you should feel on the edge of your balance, with your weight mostly in your heels and not your toes (you can even lift your toes off the floor to help adjust your posture).

But this is also true with lunges and most other standing work. If you don't have someone correcting your form (or you don't have the knowledge to correct it yourself), most people will simply resort to the easiest version of the posture, which usually involves relying on your biggest and strongest muscles (your quads). It's the same with upper body work. I have seen strong people muscle into pull-ups using their chest and bicep and never truly engaging their lats. This is why trainers are actually a good investment.[/quote]
