am i doing my squats correctly if my thighs are sore?

Question

i’m currently doing a 30 day challenge and i’m on my second day. I did 50 squats today and i kid u not i almost passed out😅😅😅
My thighs are super sore to the point where it’s hard to stand up after sitting. My butt isnt sore at all though. 
are my thighs supposed to be sore? should my butt be sore as well?

Answer

Thigh soreness will not indicate whether or not you are doing squats correctly.  Both correct and incorrect squats will cause your thighs to be sore.  A correct squat is all about form.
For sure, though, a sore back definitely indicates an incorrect squat.

Answer

Yup! Get a foam roller and roll out those legs! Saved my life lol

Answer

Usually ur glutes should be sore but thighs too

Answer

What challenge are u doing?

Answer

No pain no gain. My thighs were super sore when I just began doing squats. It's normal.

Answer

You can do different styles to focus on different parts of the legs. I’m quad dominant so I always have to really focus on using my glutes when doing squats but I typically avoid them because my quads always take over and I don’t particularly want to grow my quads.

Answer

Yeah girl you’re doing it right!! If it don’t hurt  it don’t work 😤 it’s the lactic acid in your muscles. When you squat (or so any weight exercise) you’re basically tearing your muscles apart and letting them repair themselves to make them larger, so yeah, it’s gonna hurt but your ass will look amazing 🤷🏼‍♀️
