I was doing some squats the other night, and at the end of my set, my hams became so stiff and sore i could hardely move. I was puzzled as this has never happened before. Im 17 and have been doing them for 6 weeks constantly and for years un constantly before that. Any ideas?

And I thought this was going to be about sprial or glazed. Mmmmmmmmmm, haaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmm...........

Without knowing anything else about what you did, I would say that maybe you were bent over too far during the lift, looking more like a good morning than a squat. That'll put a good pull on your hammies, especially if you're not use to that movement, and you're using the pounds associated with a squat rather than a GM.
