Due to a past injury I find activating certain muscle groups difficult. Something I learned in physio is to focus on the muscle group you are trying to work. For say glutes and hams during a squat focus as you do. On the up motion, from the bottom focus weigh in heels, imagine the hamstring stretched then contracting as you move, imagine the glutes driving the hips up and forward. I've had much more success when I'm mindful of what I'm doing, instead of just physically doing.

Great tip, I actually tried that earlier today and it made it much easier.
