Which squat style do you choose? - High-bar ATG, and low-bar parallel

high bar

i started lifting before the internet was a thing and just naturally squatted that way before even knowing there was such a thing as high-bar vs low-bar.

>>39870654
ATG or not? Non-ATG is counted as a 0 rep. Non-ATG squats are the kipping of squats.

>>39870645
hello dmitry i squat high-bar ATG
i see you in gym later?

>>39870645
gratz on that 2plate squat

High bar ATG of course.
Low bar is fucking retarded ego lifting, like sumo deadlifts and super arch bench.

Why would you do high bar skwats if you don't compete in olympic lifting? Even then, front squats are a better option.

Stop making excuses and start stretching every night. Maybe you can come out of your 0-rep hole someday.

Front squat

What if i train all of them ?

>>39870722
I do a mix of high bar and front. Low bar feels uncomfortable to me, could be my body measurements or something.

where my front squat niqqas at

lowbar atg

>Useful motion to learn for shitting, sitting down when no chair
I don't live in a 3rd world country
> For bodybuilding, full ROM=greater growth, more muscles worked
More weight = more resistance = more gains
> Less strain on knees than parallel "Squats"
Lol k
> More integrity, don't have to worry about dishonourable things like if you've "just" reached parallel, or some rubbish
Nobody cares if you don't compete
> More mires for proper form, which 90% of squatters cannot reach
You get more mires for low baring 5 plate than high baring 2pl8
> Flexibility is part of fitness
Then do front squats

i've been doing whatever-feels-natural-bar for about 6 years

probably going to be doing leg press bar soon

>>39870975
nice squat you must have a lot of gfs

I do highbar because it's more comfortable for me.

High bar and squats. Nothing against low bar. Just feels more 'natural'. If you are making gains and not getting injured who cares

Both. Like any lifter should.

>>39870656
i dont see how you could not go atg, its the natural for me

>that guy barely 90°ing his shitty low bar good mornings
>looks around like a tough guy for all the weight he's moved
>take his rack when he's finished and do perfect sets of ATG highbar with same weight

is there any better feel?

nice squat lad

>>39872551
You sound like you spend a lot of time watching other people instead of working out.

>>39872603

i like to show off my superior squat form, i also like to do some front and overhead squats when i'm done so everybody can mire my form.

fat powershitter detected

haven't been squatting long, only recently hit 70kg and have been doing low bar. My natural squat depth is basically ATG and i've only realized recently i can't maintain proper form at that depth with low bar

would switching to high bar help w/ this or should i stick w/ low bar and try my best to not go ATG

>>39872646
>overhead squats

lmao

>>39870645
i usually squat high bar, but i've been fucking around with low bar here recently. lowbar feels like a more mechanically advantageous good morning, which feels great for my deadlift. i feel like you can incorporate high bar and low bar equally in your training and benefit from both. i'm currently squatting high, low and front sort of off and on while i work up my low bar. i want to eventually replace high bar with low and supplement with fronts.

squatting in general feels great, though, no matter your bar placement.

>>39870722

Front squats are a fuccboi exercise for pakis and skeletons who are too scared to get properly under a heavy bar.

Lmao.. the fucking excuses people make to avoid back squats.
Literally the only lift that requires any mental fortitude (other than bench without a spotter I guess) and people do all kinds of mental gymnastics to avoid doing them.

>>39873297

funny because you arent eben flexible enough for a back squat?

nice projecting fatty

Hey guys been doing SL 5x5 for a month and a half.

I usually do low bar ATG and recently I have found that I take a 2 second pause before coming back up from the squat, is this bad?

>>39872787
Try stretching by maintaining ATG position without bar for 30 seconds.

>>39873762

I didn't see a single powerlifter in any of those videos. Just steroid abusing recreational bodybuilders who squat high.

>>39873654
srs pls respond everyone else squats so fast

>>39873811
t. ass mad powerlifter with dogshit ROM

>>39873831
>>39873842
no it isn't, it just limits the weights lifted

>>39873654
normal people do paused squats because it's supposedly harder

>>39873850

>tfw can atg front squat more than most of /fit/ can back squat

>>39873654
You'll have more strength and control at the bottom of the squat which is probably good for injury prevention and overall athleticism.

Have you ever tried doing 3x10 front squats in rack position? RIP wrists you dirty nigger

>>39873857
>>39873863
>>39873904
Thanks lads, I thought I was fucking up by pausing when I went down.

I actually pulled some tendon or something because I was trying to squat fast like everyone else the second week I was lifting, I fixed my form and it's been much slower but I haven't hurt myself since so it's all good I hope.

Fast squats will kill you.

>>39873588
No just dying because you are doing overhead squats when not an oly lifter.

>>39873926
The tendon was in the back of my left knee btw.

if you lack mobility, maybe then
you know you're not holding the weight with your wrists, right?
