Stiff-legged deadlifts especially really target that area and may help diminish the appearance of your cellulite. I know I was hit with cellulite pretty much at puberty and have suffered with it ever since. I do think that in your case it is probably much more noticeable to you than to anyone else. You might just want to focus on working out to keep/develop lean muscle to keep the lovely shape you were born with and not fret too much over a little cellulite. It is not as unsightly as you imagine--but, yeah, I know we all like to focus on our flaws.

On my sprint days they tend to want to tighten up no matter how much I stretch or warm-up. I was thinking I might want to try and strengthen them to eliminate that issue.

When you see a guy doing them with a close stance and knees past the toes this is more quad dominant. ============ Quoting from conan_0822: MVP, what are powerlifter style squats??
