>>38427077
>tfw hit 2 plate squat years ago and still don't go higher than 2.5 plate because of fear of injuries

>>38428462

>im a retard for calling a pussy pathetic

You're the kind of person that enables shitters like him on fit you fucking idiot

do you guys prefer high-bar or low-bar squats?

I find the high-bar movement more natural, but I'm not sure which one I should do

>>38429376
I do high bar squats simply because it looks cooler.

>>38427077
my nigga, just hit that 2 weeks ago

I'm at 235 now, I can't add 5 lbs to the bar every workout anymore. think I'm gonna keep adding 5 every week until the rest of my body catches up

>>38427077
Congrats, OP, that's my current goal right now.

>>38428447
You've got this m8. If you get an extra rep, you're pretty much set to progress.

Most recent goal I reached was diddlyin 2 plates.

>>38429376
I do high-bar, ass to grass because it's more useful. Lowbar supposedly lets you move a little more weight, but I'd rather just train a little harder.

>>38429376
Low bar is a meme. High bar only. You can do front squats occasionally if you feel the need to.

>>38428915
You're the only shitter here, lad.

Is the technique COACH RIP teaches in SS high or low bar? That's the one I've been using

t. DYEL

>>38429376
high bar. i like the option to alter my depth depending on the weight/how i'm feeling.

My 3 x 5 is at 185, still 5 lbs increases. Can't wait to get to lmao2pl8.

>>38430428
it says low bar throughout the book, and i don't think i've seen a video of him teaching the squat where he doesn't call it low bar

>>38430428
He teaches low bar

>>38430545
Only seen the DVD, must have missed it, thanks

t. poor listening comprehension

>>38428447
>>38429498

This is also my goal. Currently can bench the 35 pl8s 5x5

I'm almost there. We're all gonna make it.

Any tips for squatting for effectively? I don't really feel any glute activation when squatting, my deadlift and bench press aren't far behind my squat, and my squats aren't very explosive.

>>38430631
best thing i've done for glute activation is resistance band squats. you basically get a resistance band and step into it, bring it up to your knees, fold it in half so you have a figure 8, step through the second half of the band essentially so it's taut around your knees and then squat without a bar or anything while focusing on keeping your knees out. it's brutally hard and your glutes work over time. i do a set of them when i go to the gym just to get them firing for the session and at home on off days sometimes to get better activation from them generally.

>>38430759
this sounds amazing...

>>38429376
do whichever feels natural to you
most people seem to find it easier to lift heavy low bar
personally I squat low senpai

>>38429376
I've been focusing on diddlies recently so I go either high bar or front squat.

Good job. Keep it up.

If you pronate your feet to go ATG, try keeping them straight while only going to parallel. It also helps to clench your cheeks together while going up.

>>38429376
i squat low bar, for some reason i find the way it sits in my back very pleasing

Just benched 1pl8 for first time today, feels pretty cool.

>>38428419
More volume, more food. Don't be doing 5 rep bullshit for a while.

>>38428609
are you actually retarded that you think some people don't progress through their noob gains quick? I got 2 plate squat in 2 months

>>38428498
>>38431330

You're both retarded. different people start at different weights. If you start squatting at just the bar, you're going to take a longer time to reach 2pl8 than someone who starts at 1pl8.

God people on this board are fucking retarded. I bet you don't even lift you fucking idiot.

>>38428498
I bet you weighed 300 pounds too. Not everybody started out obese.

dude same OP high fuckin five

>why are my arms stronger when 60-80% of every workout focuses on them?

>>38427077
good job man, about to go squat 190 today

>>38427077
anyone else scared of squat? seems like an easy trip to snap city especially when its really heavy for you. Ive started only doing 10 reps currently 190x10 which is fairly easy for me. Just feels like if i load on more weight im gonna snap city

>>38433208
I never do more than 6 reps on a squat.
If anything, I'm the opposite.
The more reps I do, the higher chance there is of having your form get sloppy and fuck your shit up.
I got myself to sets of five @3pl8 at my peak and that's what felt I got me the best results.

>>38428498
This is b8

>>38430759
that would train your adductors, not your glutes.
