Yesterday's Workout

I went in with a fairly positive attitude yesterday to do my leg workout. I had two main goals: target quads and increase squat depth. I walked out of the gym feeling dissatisfied. It seemed like I spent forever on squat depth and got nowhere. I tried a variety of things.. nothing seemed to work. I want to make sure that, before I add more weight, I have proper form down and depth in my squat. Lack of depth just makes the exercise pointless and doesn't really challenge your quads to grow. 

Today when I walked into the gym, I attempted a few squats even though my legs were sore and... amazing.. my flexibility and form seemed much better and stronger. I was so happy. I want to ask a trainer at the gym to watch my new form to make sure I'm keeping my back straight. I hope to god I'm doing this right. 

The other goal I had, targeting quads, didn't seem to happen either. I woke up today with my glutes and hams sore as hell. I don't understand why. My guess is they were used to compensate for my lack of squat depth. Tomorrow I will work on squats some more.. if I'm not too sore.
