📌 You can a wide variety of methods like bands, chains, different bars, isomerics, eccentrics, half reps, speeds, etc. But the body positions still applies . 
.
✅For quads: 
*More Open Hip Angle 
*Closed knee angle 
*More upright torso 

✅For Glute/Ham Emphasis:
*Closed hip angle 
*Open Knee angle 
*More forward lean

✅ Many trainers and coaches still discuss the effects of deep squats and half squats on glute growth. While there are a lot of studies involving EMG activation, you’re certainly able to use heavier loads for half squats. However, max glute tension occurs mid range as deep squats are not more glutes especially from a hypertrophy perspective. 
.
✅ This recent study looked at 10 weeks of training 2x/week squatting with male novice trainees with different depths and showed similar quad growth between the two groups. However, despite using less load, the full squat group showed greater glute and abductor growth while the hamstrings and rectus fem did not grow in either group. BUT this is just this study only! 
.
✅ Keep in mind these were beginning trainees and not advanced individuals. Not saying that quads are not involved with squatting, because they are, but in terms of maximal hypertrophy and quad growth you should be combining other leg exercises aside from just squats.

✅Since everybody loves glutes, let’s review the main function and give you training tips to help you get glorious glutes. 
.
1️⃣A powerful hip extensor, the gluteus maximus is suited to powerful lower limb movements and is involved in virtually most lower body lifts and exercises in all planes of motion.
2️⃣Gluteus max via eccentric control is also provided when bending forward, and especially during certain hip extension movement like reverse lung
3️⃣Gluteus max has several stability roles, including balancing the pelvis on femoral heads, thus maintaining upright posture, and helps with lateral rotation of femur when standing assists raising the medial longitudinal arch of the foot.
4️⃣Each of the different fiber orientations of glutes permits different exercises, angles, reps, loads, speeds, and equipment, all of which  need to be trained regularly to maximize glute function and aesthetic appeal.
.
✅ Bottom Line: Do a variety of exercises, different sets, different reps, different speeds and different implements. Get some Glutes!

🔥Side laterals are often butchered without maximizing stress on the media/Lateral delts. It really has to be done in the scapula plane. This is often referred to as scaption, which allows the shoulder blade to naturally move with external load. Major functions of the scapula include upward and downward rotation, elevation and some protraction as you perform lat raise. 
.
🔥When the scapula moves naturally and with fluidity the traps also operate normally and then the delts can create more output and stress when doing the work. 
.
Here’s some Do’s and Don’ts 
.
✅DO’S
-Allow a slight forward lean.
-Push the hand out and not up.
-Stop initiating the movement with the traps, but limit total restriction.
.
❌ DON’TS
-Don’t raise your arm out to the side. This does not provide natural scapular movement!
-Don’t try to lock your shoulder blades back! Whoever tells you to do this has no idea what they’re talking about. 
-Stop standing straight up.
.
🔥Take-home message: Stop thinking about movement in isolation and think about how things work together. You don’t need high loading and fast progression here. Use mind-muscle connection. Do sets to failure, and strategically load the muscle.
