Haha, So two reasons,
1. I'm good at them and I'm built for them (I have short femurs and strong wide hips, and a booty to go with it). I can move a decent amount of weight. I've got pretty decent legs for someone my size and I've built them mostly with just squatting. It's always just worked for me. I just picked two different varieties (regular and paused). So that there was some variation. (Honestly I'd love a satefy squat bar, but my gym is lacking it)
2. I had three different squat variations at the start but a developed a wrist / forearm issue that the other two squat variations (high bar and front) were aggravating. So I ditched them. The lower placement of the bar, for whatever reason feels more secure and comfortable.
Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have further questions

Just wish my gym had more machines and the type of equipment to do them :/
Necessity is the motherhood of invention
. My two favorite hamstring lifts I am doing now is flat DB ham curl and decline bench ham curl. I never even would have thought about trying them except for the fact that my gym has one hamstring curl machine (well two really, but the other is so awful and bio mechanically messed up its worthless). Scott has some serious creative lifts on the forums and I'll have to find it but Dante had a pretty famous thread on Intense Muscle with a bunch of weird but extremely effective lifts
Here it is

There may be another. But that's the one I remember the most. Hope this helps.
