Low Bar Squat Form Question

The guy was a faggot.
Your form is fine.

Low bar squats are gay tho.

>>40564946
you are gay

>>40564858

Your back angle is fine. That guy probably has only ever seen a high-bar squat so he thinks low-bar squatting is wrong.

However, stop that shit with changing your neck angle halfway through the lift. You're starting looking forward on the way down and then look down on the way up. You should be looking down the entire rep

Yes, I forget to focus my sight on one spot on the floor. Thanks.

>You should be looking down the entire rep
What really?
I've always locked eyes with myself in the mirror

>>40565077

Well, more specifically, you're supposed to find a spot on the floor and keep your eyes locked on it the entire rep. It helps you maintain balance.

>>40565089
Is looking down integral? Or just useful?

>>40565100

It just helps. You can look up or forward or wherever the fuck else you want, but generally locking your eyes onto a spot on the floor for a constant reference point helps with balance more than other options would.

You would be astonished how many people have never heard of, or at least bothered to try low bar squats.
Consequently, typical gymgoer knowledge regarding squatting consists of "squatting is bad for your knees", "keep upright", "don't let your knees get in front of your toes".
Of course, they've never squatted more than 135, and never to depth. Dismiss these people because, while well intentioned, they probably don't know much more about the mechanics of lifting than you do.

form is fine, apart from looking down half-way

>>40565112

This. I work out at my uni's gym because it's free for students, and I have some "good Samaritan" dudebro try to admonish me for "squatting wrong" every fucking week.

Meanwhile they never squat more than 185 high bar with quarter reps and make me want to kill myself.

>>40564858
not a very good low bar squat, but you're not bending over too much. actually you're not bending over enough

Hey fit, I've just started lifting a month or 2 ago and I'm getting this pain in my abdomen at the bottom of my squat. It like just on the inside of my hip bone almost even with my hip joint. It's kind of like a burning sensation. Anyone have an idea of how I'm fucking up?

bajá más boludo

>>40565195
No puedo man. Si bajo más llegaía a donde se despega la barra del suelo cada vez que haces peso muerto.

>low bar

LOL

Low bar conflicts with the King of Lifts, Deads

>>40565234
How ?

>>40565254
Too much lowerback load ?

>>40565254
>>40565268
Yes.
The bottom of a low bar squat is similar to the starting point of a standard DL

>>40565295
K, I kind of knew this. Thanks.

I'll switch to high bar after a week of bulking. I have DL same day as squat. Both days.

>>40565108
Some people advocate maintaining a neutral spine position. So down, and forward a few feet achieves this.

>>40565319
Lots of routines have front squat on days with DL because of how quad loaded fronts are.

Personally, I do leg press on DL days

>>40564858
It looks good, just make sure you're keeping the bar above midfoot

>>40564858
Can't see your feet but it looks fine from what I can see.

...while the picture is somewhat correct there are still 3 moment arms in the picture with perfect form
