I had a question about whether or not for things like squats/deadlifts if I should wait to become more flexible at the current weight or if I should continue to increase the weight when it becomes easy?
I can get approximately parallel with squats but because of the sports I did when I was younger my hamstrings/hip flexors are tight and I can only get just below my knee for deadlifts.
K&D usually say to respect the range of motion but they also say to lift heavier if we are able, so I'm not sure what to do in this situation.
Lower Body Flexibility vs. Increasing Weight
Hey guys,
I had a question about whether or not for things like squats/deadlifts if I should wait to become more flexible at the current weight or if I should continue to increase the weight when it becomes easy?
I can get approximately parallel with squats but because of the sports I did when I was younger my hamstrings/hip flexors are tight and I can only get just below my knee for deadlifts.

Thanks!
