Hey guys, I figure this probably goes in the beginner's forum. I've been plagued with a VERY weak squat for the entire time I've been lifting. For example, my best deadlift is 505, but my best squat ever has been 335, barely hitting parallel.
I've always had terrible flexibility. I've never been able to touch my toes with my legs straight. Ever. Not even as a kid. I also have scoliosis, which I'm not sure if that contributes to the problem or not.
I kind of suspect it's a hip flexibility issue? Are there any particular stretches/exercises I can perform to help with this? I tend to AVOID squats because I'm embarrassed about the weight I use for my working sets, but I know that has to be counter productive.
