Emily loved leg day, but she noticed that her quads always seemed to do more of the work, leaving her hamstrings feeling neglected. “Why is this happening?” she wondered. Her coach explained, “Emily, this might be due to quad dominance. It means your quads are doing more than they should, and your hamstrings are getting left behind.” The coach showed her how to fix this by adjusting her form during squats and lunges, focusing on pushing her hips back and activating her hamstrings more. Emily also added exercises like Romanian deadlifts and leg curls to strengthen her hamstrings. As she focused on fixing her imbalances, Emily felt a new balance in her legs. Her hamstrings started feeling stronger, and her quads no longer took over. Emily was proud of the progress she made, knowing that by fixing her form and targeting her hamstrings, she was building more balanced, stronger legs. She felt empowered, knowing she was in control of her progress and could make adjustments to grow stronger in the right way.
