Now that the dust has settled, which squat is better, high

>>38610668
High bar. Better leg development with less weight. If you want to work your lower back just do deads for fucks sake

>>38610668
lowbar you stupid fuck that's not even an argument

>>38610668
both

>>38610668

>a couple of inches of bar placement makes you go from Athletic, ripped to fat, weak and lazy

???

Front squats 2bh

[post about how whichever one I personally do is obviously superior and the other one is absolute horseshit that does nothing]

Until this pic, I legit didn't know the difference. Guess I started right with high bar at least.

>>38611419
>falling for the troll

Are you retarded?????

>>38610668
I usually half-squat because my knees point out but I can get lower when high bar squatting.

whatever is more comfortable.

>>38610668
why do people squat with their legs wide open???

i can only squat with my legs about 8-9 inches apart, is it normal to squat with wide legs as ooposed to keepying your legs close together lie mine?

I stopped squatting after a back injury that causes it to pinch and make my body go numb, so I've been doing legpress for the past month. Could low bar squats help supplement the loss?

>>38611940

yeah I'm sure you've got this guy crushed

For powerlifting use lowbar and for general strength training or bodybuilding just use what feels better. I noticed that i get less si joint pain when lowbar squatting so i am going to stick with that.

It's like people think belts are just inherently evil. As long as you don't rely on it there's nothing wrong with a belt very now and again.

>squatting
no thanks im not gay

>>38613976
I use a belt too but if you think a belt prevents any sort of back injury you are a retard.

>>38613951
I count 260 kg, but still impressive

What about no-bar quadting?

Lowbar makes my shoulders hurt

>>38611579
everyone who dislikes Oly lifting is literal trash and should never lift a weight again

>>38610668
I literally cannot keep my spine neutral during low-bars. I wish I could do them, but high-bars are for me. Who here quads can't fit their pants anymore?

i do lowbar because it's comfy.

also, the guy in the OP needs to take a wide stance and go slightly deeper.

I cannot position the bar in a high bar setup without getting severe pain in my right shoulder and I it kinda feels "loose", like if my torso moves one degree in any direction the bar would start to roll.

With low bar it's like the bar and wheight are part of my body.
So low bar it is, I would rather do high bar though.

>>38610668
lowbar is more weight so is more fun

I can't do either without hyperextending my back and getting butt wink as a result so I just do leg press instead.

>>38620285
just take a really wide stance, you'll have no buttwink.

>>38620352
>"I used to worry about my buttwink when squatting but then I watched a Candito video and so now I don't have to worry about it anymore."

>>38610668
it dont matter. just dont whatever is more comfortable for you.

if you do oly do highbar

powerlifting do lowbar

strongman do either

just do whatever is more comfortable for you man

>>38620895
more like, i had buttwink with my normal stance, so i widened it out and now i don't.

>>38617880
kekked, but the high bat squat people all went way, way deeper with better form. The powerlifters all did lazy half reps with help from their spotters.

Guess I'm high bar squatting now.

>>38611835
>didnt even read OP's picture

>>38613976
They help to increase the intra thoracic pressuse when use properly, but too many people just wear them to wear them.

>>38618231
>shitty hamstring development
You are just wrong
You can go lower with highbar and work the whole leg way better. Coming out of the bottom really works the hams to keep your torso at the correct angle. Most people think the way you do because they cheat due to weak hams and end up turning a high bar into a low bar by falling forward. Strict high bar is God tier for hams.

>>38620250
T. 21y.o. With a shaker cup full of bcaas in the gym.

I like to squat high bar and as deep as I can so I get the stretch reflex. If I stop at parallel I'm not getting the stretch and it's harder to ascend.

>>38621461

I rarely feel it in my hamstrings when I squat. I do feel like my hips shoot up some times though. I've been trying to supplement with some front squats to work on my quads. My 1RM is 2,5pl8 on high bar and 2pl8 on front squats.

I highbar/conventional deadlift for my legs basically.

>>38611947

That's 4 25kg plates on each side (the reds; 55 pounds) in addition to a 20 kg (the blues; 44 pounds) plate on each side. Including the bar, that's around a 575 pound squat with incredible form and depth.

>>38612296

Where's your olympic gold medal?

>>38621452
Belt forces people to brace as long as they're trying to brace. You can always brace on your own but a belt helps for those who don't know the cues.

For me it makes almost no difference but I like to wear a belt everytime anyway.

>>38621533
They're crossfit plates. Probably closer to 195 lbs.

Holy fuck the difference is so goddamn negligible. There is significantly more difference between people with different body proportions than moving the bar two goddamn inches.

>>38613982

I had to stop doing front squats once the weights started to get close to my back squats because my left wrist and shoulder mobility was fucked (had absolutely no problem with the right side of my upper body). I fucked something up and now I get a sharp pain in the left shoulder blade area when I go heavy on front squats. The pain also carried over to other stuff, but after stopping front squats it went away.

>>38621873
The difference in back angle is not negligible.

>>38612296
yeah Ive never lifted but I feel like I could easily do 100kg with a belt

>>38622094
Dyels don't get to have an opinion.

Lurk more.

Bye.

>>38611579

Lmao.

I can highbar squat 450. My lowbar max is 475. If you're strong, you're strong and can push a lot of weight either way.

t. Powerlifter who is leaner than you and has more lean mass than you have bodyweight.

this

I never knew what it was too, I just watched videos on how to squat and applied the advice and ended up looking like this

I go lower than the guy(candito?) though
I rest the bar on my traps, not like the guy in OP which looks in the neck or whatever
