#AskAchieve 71: Decreasing Hamstring Pain and Increasing Glute Activity During RDLs, Which Muscles You Should Feel During Squats, and How to Address a Weight Loss and Strength Plateau!

Show Notes

What's up, Achievers?! We've got a GREAT episode for you all today - we received some really great questions that are slightly different, which allowed us to go really deep in our answers. First off, we discussed how to decrease hamstring activity (to the point of pain) and increase glute activity during RDLs and Single Leg RDLs (2:35). We then covered what muscles "should" be working during a squat and if it's okay to not feel your quads as much during them (7:09). We also talked about how your back position should be while descending during a squat. Should you arch? Should you keep your back flat? What gives - why is there so much conflicting information?? (12:01) Finally, we went over what to do when experiencing both a weight loss AND strength plateau (17:30). We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, we'd love you forever if you left a rating and review on iTunes - it seriously helps us out a lot! Please DM us @achievefitnessboston on Instagram if you have any questions you'd like us to answer. Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles! Jason and Lauren
