Why do so many olympic lifters squat high bar? Wouldn't front squats replicate their lifts better?
>>
High bar = lift more weight than Front Squats.

So you get stronger which also builds confidence at lighter weights.

Snatch position is more similar to a back squat than a front squat. So that makes sense as well.

The biggest benefit from atg high bar is power from the bottom at heavy weight, means they are much less likely to dump the weight because they don't have to grind the rep as much because leg strength is not the limitation, generally the overhead portion is always the hardest part of the lift.
>>
we do both you idiot

you use more muscles doing backsquats but front squat is more sport specific
>>
why do they bother with the snatch? just have C+J and abolish the other meme lift

lol, the pudgy tripshit manlet bitch thinks he's a real weight lifter. that's cute in the way that a retard doing math is cute.

nuh uh, it is only possible to have ONE (1) exercise variation in your program at a time otherwise it is too unspecific and you are overtraining. Therefore it must be the most scientifically optimal one, don't you know that? Is this your first day on /fit/ DYEL?

Oly lifters should do Zercher squats because something about Bugenhagen and muscle fiber activation also Greg Nuckols

Sure thing, sweetheart. Taking a picture of a random retard and pasting a pepe over his face does not validate you.

If anything, American memegrammers (other than the ones that are basically russian like Takano) are good at building strength Tbh

>>42098870
if anything front squat simply emphasizes more on quads and upper back. Lacking upper back strength causes form breakdown
