>I low bar squat because some physical limitation keeps me from doing high bar squats properly

I lowbar ATG for 2.5pl8 but I start leaning forward a bit on the last few reps, is that because I just suck or is it because of the lowbar positioning? I was debating trying to highbar again but idk...

>I high bar squat because it feels more natural and gives me a better physique

So, "feels more natural." Hmm, well that sounds entirely subjective.

And, "better physique." Pulled directly from your asshole. How exactly do a few inches of bar position on the back develop your legs in significantly different way?

>I low bar squat because some physical limitation keeps me from doing high bar squats properly

And this is somehow different from "feel more natural" to you?

>>35936405

low bar if you're going to compete in PL or want to push maximum numbers because that's what you like.

Highbar/front squats if you're competing in Oly or only care about quad size.

Personally I lowbar in adipowers because it feels the most comfortable.

just experiment homie.

I would do low bar, but it hurts so freaking bad! Besides, all I want is a cute trap butt, so high bar is just for me :3

Lowbar, you stupid faggots. The only reason you dumbasses like highbar is because it's easier.
Quit being a pussy and squat low low low.

>>35936405
Whatever's more comfortable OR whatever your sport demands. Does not matter much for someone who's just lifting to get bigger/stronger in general. Also consider that you're free to experiment for yourself over time.

>>35936405
Low bar if you're a fat powerlifter and high bar if you want to make it.

Real women have a thirst for men who can call upon their body to unleash a lethal amount of force as one kinetic chain.

Do whichever one comes naturally to you.
If you are into PL you should do low.
If you are into WL you should do high.

Otherwise do what you want.

High bar if you can. Low bar if you must, or if you're competing.

Front squat if you're able.

High bar looks more like an actual squat to the casual normie. And I tend to agree.

I personally like low bar because I found with high bar it put pressure on my neck, probably because I wasn't doing it correctly though. Low bar can take a bit to grasp though so make sure you watch lots of videos on form and whatnot.

Although I agree with you. I do high bar and front squats.

There should be no pressure on your neck whatsoever: either you were leaning too far forward (torso should be as straight as possible in high bar) or you were somehow trying to rest the bar on your neck instead of your traps.

>>35938455
High bar has always been easy for me since I have humongous traps to make a nice comfy shelf. But I force myself to go low-bar due to wanting to focus on my posterior chain more than my quads.

To be fair, both contests are filled to the brim with roids.

At least in the USA, however, you're correct. Weightlifting is more about politics and Glenn Pendlay's bullshit than it is about actually lifting weights.

While this is a REALLY impressive display of strength and glycolytic endurance, I have to question what practical purpose it has. He's in the gym, not at some competition where he could win money or standing, and this doesn't seem like an entirely optimal way to train.

5pl8 + 100 lb on the inside. retard.

>>35936459
>>35936521

High bar is inferior to low bar for EVERY sport, including Olympic weightlifting.

Idiot weightlifters believe they do high bar squats to train movement patterns because they're stupid. You back squat to build strength, regardless of your sport and the techniques used therein. Low bar, beyond any doubt, is a better method to train strength than high bar.

Weightlifters need to front squat in order to train the recovery from heavy cleans, particularly as it relates to keeping your upper back tight. But high bar remains a stupid, bastardized hybrid of actual strength training and misguided efforts to make training look like practice. It has the drawbacks of both low bar and front squats, with the benefits of neither.

Well here's a fat oly lifter, Mart Seim, about 151kg bw, 400kg x1 squat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxVUmAzP1to

>>35943965

It's not functional in any sports because the movement is not natural or anything that you do in any sports. It really only exists to move the most weight in that move.

So if I'm trying to focus on building glutes and hammies, do I stick with low bar? My quads are disproportionately bigger than the rest of my legs, but I still hit them with front squats.

>>35944339

Squatting doesn't really target hammies. If you want more hamstring activation i suggest you do romanian deadlifts

To be fair he's a much more gifted powerlifter than an oly lifter

I know girls mire most places I go, I've litterally been at a party just talking to my friends and girls just comes up and pulls me to the side a starts making out with me. This has happened twice, I fucked both of them probably only saying 20 words to them. A girl literally pulled over once and asked me if I needed a ride. I said "yea" hopped in, and after about 5 mins of talking she asked me if I wanted to come over to her place, and I ended up fucking her. Trust me, girls mire everywhere I go. So yeah, I guess you could say I lift.

High bar unless powerlifter who is fat.

>>35944642

Huehue. Go do fucking legpresses. So much more weight to move there.

no squats at all due to hip stiffness and ankle mobility.

High bar = sexhaver
Low bar = fat powerlifting virgin

Low bar. The only people who do high bar are gym rats(dyels) or weightlifters(dyels unless they're internationally competitive, and no one on /fit/ are). I was at a local powerlifting meet this sunday and most of the competitors were ripped, even if they put up mediocre lifts. And almost everyone did low bar squats.

High bar because of the pic related you posted. If you can't go up with a high bar squat, you can descend back down and try again.

Low bar squats are for fatties with poor mobility.

>defending kipping pull ups

>>35946570
Oh boy, the ego of fat powerlifters is disgusting.

It's not about weight you fat fuck. Get your head out of your ass and do a proper squat.

>>35946542
>>Low bar squats are for fatties with poor mobility.
Low bar squats require more mobility then high bar though. Shoulders, biceps, hips etc. The only limiting factor mobility-wise in highbar that I can think of is if your ankle mobility doesn't allow for proper knee travel.

>>35946557

>>35946536
Wait, so you're saying that everyone at your powerlifting meet did low bar squats? Huh. Interesting. Who would've known fat powerlifters do low bar squat??

>>35946598
Who the fuck cares? I'm sure you squat way more the me, it doesn't matter. Powerlifting is fucking retarded, it's like you got every record on the guiness book and made a sport out of it with a bunch of retards trying to emulate the record holders.

>an entire thread dedicated to being butthurt by how other people lift weights
...why?

>>35946542
or for people who want more posterior chain work and better carryover to daily life.

seriously, these threads are pointless because every dyel on /fit/ has an opinion on which is better, without understanding that it is 100% on your fitness goals which kind you should use. maybe one, maybe the other, maybe both, maybe none.

now shut the fuck up.

>>35946623
>Who would've known fat powerlifters do low bar squat??
The only fat people I saw there was 2-3 female lifters and a middle aged men. Meanwhile we have fat weightlifters like Mart Seim doing high bar, therefore every weightlifter is fat. How can fat weightlifters, aka every weightlifter, live with themselves?

>>35946647

>it's not about weight
It literally is in my sport. It's just an accessory or pump work to you.
>proper squat
High bar and low bar are both proper you lil shit, it's PREFERENCE. It's what you can do better. It's what you program for depending on volume and maximum recoverable volume for your training block

>>35946670
Based anon

One isn't better than the other. It just depends. I prefer low bar.

Also
>implying high bar is more technical
Top kek, low bar is insanely technical and nuanced. Squeezing every kilo out of an exercise drives perfection. "Pump work" requires no skill or understanding. It's just pump work. It's just an accessory.

it's spelled HERCULES you dumbass motherfukker

>>35946862
Other way around. LB focuses on quads because they half rep their set, and HB focus on glutes because of the depth. HB also focuses on quads as well. LB puts a lot of emphasis on the hips and back.

>>35946805
You get more hip flexion/extension in low bar

There isn't an appreciable difference. Just know-nothings regurgitating what they've heard

Okay guys seriously which one should I do? High bar or low bar?

in the words of CWS
Highbar is the best mode for building strength.
Lowbar is the best for expressing that strength.

>>35947235
High bar if you want to make it and low bar if you're a fat virgin powerlifter.

>>35947274
Thank you anon. I've been getting mixed messages.

Every single fucking time. Just because you move the bar a fucking inch further up or down on your back does not mean you suddenly have to stand there in sumo stance, grunting like a retarded ape.

>>35947455
Embrace your inner fat powerlifter

>>35947475
Time to perma-bulk.

I do high bar because it allows for more raw strength development. Low bar is a competition variant and not representative of real strength. Same with sumo deadlifts and bench press over overhead press.

I also find high bar easier because it allows me to keep balance easier than a low bar.

>>35947556
>I do high bar because it allows for more raw strength development
lol wat. lowbar involves more muscle mass and generally speaking has the same rom, believe it or not. judging shit with the hip crease vs knee joint definition only works for depth, not ROM.

>>35947556
That's very interesting Anon. How is the rest of your life going while we're updating your blog?

>>35947556
>not representative of real strength
What does this mean to you?

>>35947585
>generally speaking has the same rom,

Top fucking kek

>>35947585

Yeah it's more glute and ham dominant. And the back angle is at a different angle.

Oh wait. That sounds exactly like a deadlift. EXACTLY LIKE.

The only difference between a low bar squat and a deadlift is if the bar is above or below the torso. The same muscles are involved.

>>35947782
You mean that putting the bar one or two inches lower on the back changes the rom in any meaningful way? Keep in mind that we're talking about a real lowbar squat, not how you do a lowbar squat.

Saying low bar is better because it hits the hamstrings more is like saying you should hit your triceps when doing curls or something. Squats are a quads exercise, if you want to hit the hamstrings do hamstrings exercises.

>>35947937
>Squats are a quads exercise
That's not even true for a front squat

>That ROM

>>35947969
Yes. The SPF is called the Squat Partially Federation for nothing.

I highbar 1.5plaet and I suck at it. I can squat more low bar, but I get shoulder pain. Every time like fucking clockwork.

>>35947969
There was a lot of partial lowbar squats there. That stance/form fits for multiply suits but for a raw lifter it's dogshit.

>>35947978
The squat is a multijoint excercise, it's a quads/hamstrings/abductor/adductor/hips/groin/ass/core/upper back(just a little)/lower back excercise

>>35948236
How wide do you grip the bar and how low do you place it?

>>35948312
Yeah but the focus are the quads, its the same with bench, you don't do it for shoulders or tricpes, you do it for chest.

>>35948335
>its the same with bench, you don't do it for shoulders or tricpes
>don't do it for shoulders or tricpes
>tricpes
Are you seriously fucking saying that bench isn't good for triceps. And yes, the knee extensors are very much involved in a squat but it's still a complex movement that involves almost the whole body.

>>35948320
I put the bar in the right position, I've checked plenty of times. Moving my hands wider helped for a while, but as the weight got heavier the pain returned.
My form is fine, and I've tried plenty of different 'tips'. Nothing works. I'm just not meant to low-bar.

>>35948418
Ok. Do you have adequate upper back tightness and all that jazz?

>>35948416
It was a typo turboautism.

>Are you seriously fucking saying that bench isn't good for triceps

Of course not, what i'm saying is you don't bench to build triceps, even though it does hit the triceps. Learn to read.

>>35948448
Yup. My shoulder is just fucky.

So you don't know how to squat and you don't know how to bench. Got it.

>>35948528

If you're using a compound to focus on a single muscle you're obviously not very smart

>>35948559

OK, you don't know what focus means.

>>35948582

OK, you don't know what focus means.

>>35948601
I'm sorry anon but i've never heard anyone say "i want big triceps, so i'm going to bench press" instead of saying "i want big triceps, so i'm going to do triceps isolations". The main muscle(the focus) is the chest, you bench press to grow your chest and it just so happens that other muscles are also involved, which doesn't mean that the focus of the bench is to build the chest.

>>35948643
>which doesn't mean that the focus of the bench is to build the chest

I don't know what the fuck i meant here.

Well, I guess I'll at least be able to focus on upper body afterwards.

>>35947235
Whichever. They both have their ups and downs. I do lowbar, but add in front squats for more quad activation.

>>35948643

>I'm sorry anon but i've never heard anyone say "i want big triceps, so i'm going to bench press" instead of saying "i want big triceps, so i'm going to do triceps isolations".
Then maybe you need to train with smarter people? I'm not saying isolations are bad but compound movements are (one of) the best ways to grow muscles because they are heavy and taxing.

>The main muscle(the focus) is the chest, you bench press to grow your chest and it just so happens that other muscles are also involved, which doesn't mean that the focus of the bench is to build the chest.
Ah ok so that's why my triceps are better then my chest despite me benching often but never doing triceps isolations.

>>35948697
What if I alternate between hit bar and front squats on Reg Parks Beginner program?

>>35948720
Holy shit, you can't read. I'M NOT SAYING BENCH PRESS DOESN'T HIT TRICEPS, I'M SAYING THE MAIN REASON OF DOING BENCH PRESS IS TO BUILD CHEST.

>>35948748
I give up, continue doing your 1pl8 ATG highbars for quads and 40kg benchpresses with squeeze at the bottom for chest.

>>35948727
I'd do it for a couple months high bar, then a couple low bar. Ed coan practiced high bar in his off season if I'm not mistaken

>>35948796
>I give up

High bar .

>>35948727
That's what I'm doing now. It works for me.

>>35948903
Yeah same. Seeing how I do not wish to be a fat powerlifter I think high bar and front squats are more closely aligned with my fitness goals.
