Losing fat should have a pretty important effect on those aspects, especially if it altered your posture.

You need to be on the look for your calf strength if you want to be reactive. Your calves are basically like the tires of a car. You can have a huge engine and racecar transmission, but if you have flat tires you're not going to be able to use those.

Also, it's a good idea to have the hamstrings strong and flexibile as well.

What I meant about your RDLs is - make sure they are leg driven and not back driven.

Back in April?! wtf...

I'm squatting for the last 3 years continuously and my max squat is 352 lbs, and with a wide stance.

I'd use depth jumps (I actually do that) before squats to get in some calf stimuli too. Also I'd really get the weight down on the hip thrusts and do them very slow tempo (think 3-3-3 or something) with your mind connected to your glutes so to speak. Same with the RDLs - lower the weight if there's too much back involvement and focus on the hip hinge. Try to never let the glutes relax and force that posterior pelvic tilt (at the end of the movement) to really get the hips into hyperextension and the glutes firing.

I'd also do the calf raises in another day, an upperbody day. You need to FOCUS on them, not do them as an afterthought.

For example I do my calf raises, in humongous volumes, after chinups, as the 2nd exercise of that particular day. Then I do dips and some ab work and call it a day.
