TweetI'm the same way, I throw in a lot of leg presses and hacks too trying to blast them from every angle possible. My legs and calves are stubborn as hell. Last thing to grow and first thing to go if I slack off. I love squats and will probably always find myself under that bar on leg days. My body mechanics are crappy though and it's just frustrating as I get older because it seems like I can feel more of the toll they take.

maybe change over to some front squats safety bar squats and or even some chambered bar squats man. all of those tend to keep your posture more upright or it will bury you in the lift. something that has helped me out a lot is banding them and reverse banding them. when you regular band them up you will automatically tighten up correctly and use a proper movement pattern. if not it will either pitch you forward or back. for the reverse banding i toss that in when my knees and or hips are feeling a little out of whack. keeps the weight the same at about the mid point to the top but takes a ton of the load off in the hole. all great things i have added in over the years
