Do full ROMs get sick DOMS!

Why didn't you FOLLOW THE PROGRAM and just squat parallel like you were fucking told?

I just wanted to try high bar and see if it felt more comfortable.

What causes this? Why does ATG activate your quads so much more?

If you want to avoid knee surgery at age 50 or before, do not do ATG.

How so? Can you back this up?

>What causes this? Why does ATG activate your quads so much more?

Isn't it obvious? The bar is traveling further so it requires more strength to lift it back up. Coupled with that, the increased range of motion incorporates more muscle fibres into the squat. And you're doing an unfamiliar squat (high bar) which is more quad heavy anyway. Of course you got the DOMS.

If you got the flexibility to squat atg without compromising form I say go for it.

dont listen to this tard >>42447686

high bar is more quad dominant, while low bar uses more posterior chain (you can low bar more than you can high bar for this reason)

so yeah you're getting quad doms cause you dont usually use your quads this much

>>42447733
i might be retarded but at least im not gay

>>42447733
following up: as a general rule, the more upright your torso is in the movement, the more quad dominant
e.g. in terms of quad usage, fsq > high bsq > low bsq

Does squatting ATG cause back problems? I've been having back pain for a while and I snapped my shit up squatting ATG yesterday. Thinking of switching to box squats.

1/4 rom squat is all you need, just do many reps, it's literally simulating real life when you carry something heavy, don't fall for the atg meme

Guys, I was doing squats today and at the last squat this feeling in my back started tingling and after about a minute it felt like there's a dislocated bone in my lower back right above my ass by ~2inches.

It stayed with me but I did my bench/deadlifts anyway and it was a fucking pain. Should I stop squatting? It still has that dislocated feeling 6 hours later.

Get weightlifting shoes and work on your hip mobility. You can injure your back if your back rounds excessively. Work on your hip mobility if you dont wanna end up snapping your shit sooner or later. Ideally, you want to be able to go all the way up and down without any trouble.
