[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree this sounds fishy as I was told more women are likely to have strong 'front sides' instead of back, which is often ignored by exercises (e.g., stronger quadriceps, instead of hamstrings; strong front abs instead of back muscles).  I was advised to strive for 'compound' movements which engage multiple portions of the body at one time.[/quote]

lol, it "sounds fishy" bc you personally were "told" women were "likely"???

i believe you OP

i also have very (naturally?) strong hamstrings. and prob normal quads

not sure why folks think this is so weird. [/quote]

NP here. I also think this is really weird. The OP said she has spent years(!) working on her quads and not had any progress. That sounds very ridiculous to me. I could see somebody saying I’ve been working on them for a month and not had progress and asking for help, but years?! You don’t find that odd?

I used to have crazy strong hamstrings in my 20s from decades of sprinting I did each week playing soccer.  Now 50 myself, I think OP would have to be engaging in sometime of activity that would be keeping her hamstrings so strong.

OP – can you explain more about how you’ve assessed or determine that your hamstrings are so strong and your quads are so weak? Maybe if you give more detail we can give helpful responses.[/quote]
