    For your squats, break parallel and make sure to lead with your hips. Or "take a seat". Push your hips and rear back on descent. Like you would on a deadlift. This should give you more hamstring and glute activation. I recommend dropping the weight to make sure your lower back can hold it.

    This and flex your *kitten* 100% before and throughout each lift.

    Have you tried American hip thrusts? They are a little awkward at first getting into position but wow... they really activate those glutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWiwq1wgFg

    These are great! And hard! I can't do a full one with total control yet. I have to fall onto my arms and push back up. But they seriously work your hamstrings even when you can only partially do the movement.
