This is it, /fit/.
Today we make up our minds forever and decide which is better:
>low bar squat
>high bar squat
>>35290059
>shit mobility
Low bar
>good mobility
High bar
Idk desu senpai i'm dyel as fuck and my max squat is 165lbsx5

>Diagrams from starting strength
>implying Rippetoe knows how to coach the Squat
>implying anyone whose done SS had an impressive Squat at a powerlifting meet
>implying anyone whose done SS went on to win at an Olympic weightlifting competition
Are the knees meant to track so far past the toes on high bar? I was under the impression that would fuck you up after awhile.
>>35290059
high bar, it gives u more room to correct form, and if bend a bit u end up in low bar... its just a bit of a saftey net
front squat is the only true measure of your squatting ability. back squats are just too easy to fudge and not good for anything

underrated post
>>35290155
Yes
All those Olympic lifters Back Squat because it's useless
>>35290155
Snatch grip Deadlifts from a 1 foot deficit are the only true measure of pulling power, anything else makes it too easy for advantageous leverages to let the lifter fudge the exercise

It's an extremely useful exercise. Just not the best measure of leg strength.

I heard oly lifters let their knees go past their toes. Something about natural postion. The thing that fuks up your joints is something else that i forget
>>35290059
Excellent choice of thread to start a big clusterfuck of people touting their own personal preference as "better".
>Next we will decide once and for all which is better: Fapping with your right or left hand?
>LOLOLOL LEFTY FAGGOTS ITT THINKING THEY KNOW HOW TO FAP
>FUCKING RIGHTY SCUM
>>35290128
Nope. That's a myth perpetuated by bro-science PTs everywhere. There's no truth to it.
>>35290285
The best measure of leg strength is a movement that doesn't allow you to use the full strength of everything in the lower body?
>>35290289
What fucks up your joints is what's called a "valgus knee collapse". It's when your knees collapse inwards and don't track in line with your toes. Pic related

I've seen this in gyms and I never got how it happens. How does your body think this will make lifting a weight easier?
I don't think my legs can even do that.
Something in my hip crease has been hurting whenever I try to squat hi bar. time to switch to low?
>>35290289
Is it maybe that one weird trick that doctors hate?
>>35290302
>implying that was not the point
>>35290370
It happenned to me when I was starting to squat.
I thought "shit so thats how you squat,finally" thinkig that I just found how to properly squat,lmao.Good thing is that I was squatting shit weights and didnt fuck up anything
I squat twice a week, I do both high bar and low bar

Squatting too shallow is what fucks your knees.
