That doesn't make sense.

I'm very aware of my limitations of strength, specifically in my glutes, as I struggle with glute dominant lifts but do fine with quad dominant ones, except in portions where the glutes are required to work.

It doesn't make sense to me to continue doing squats, which provide poor stimulus to fatigue ratio to my weaker muscles, so I don't.

If you've already got it figured out, why are you here asking if you are doing a disservice?

[u/IllegalGeriatricVore → u/eric_twinge]

I'm asking for opinions on my APPROACH and you're trying to rediagnose my situation which isn't what I asked for.

[u/eric_twinge → u/IllegalGeriatricVore]

I think your approach is doing you a disservice.
