>Middle figure
>Feels kind of good until you get to higher weights and your form has a tendency to fuck you in the ass unless you struggle, feels unnatural when you have to avoid leaning forward, can drop the bar behind you easily when lifting on a platform when you fail but there are always safety issues
>Rightmost figure
>Disgusting failed abortion of mechanics, told that squatting is so natural that babies can do it but a weightlifter needs 9001 lifting cues and focuses to do it properly, can't even go to full depth without moving the spine curvature and breaking your back, can only be carried out when wearing a belt, wraps, straps, a suit, chalk, and are surrounded by industrial sized safety equipment, ten obese men that are spotting you, and tinnitus inducing heavy metal music
good advice

Lol who gives a fuck about squats anyway
>>35484716
Get the fuck out
>>35484409
I agree.
high bar is the king of squat variations, the most balanced of the tree in terms of weight distrubution as well as total weight being moved
Doesn't it make more sense for people lifting for sports to do lowbar?Since you can progress faster lift heavier weights and train posterior chain more???
>>35484781
or you could use deadlift to focus on posterior chain and instead of doing two movements that accomplish effectively the same
>Fred Hatfield, AKA "Dr. Squat" who is a respected authority on strength training, has written a couple of very good books on the subject, and who competed at a fairly high level in both gymnastics and OL before achieving a 1008lb squat at 44 years of age and I believe around 255lbs, has argued extensively that not only should the HB squat be used EXCLUSIVELY for the training of athletes, but its qualities of carry over are such that even POWERLIFTERS who are actually competing with a low bar, bent over, only to parallel and sometimes wide stance squat, should in fact do HB, Olympic style squats for much of the off season. In a rough quote of his words, HB squats build strength, LB squats demonstrate it.

Wow.Dunno if it was dysmorphia but I thought he would snap in half with that weight.
Can anyone that claims low bar is for idiots please post current body and squat stats? Because I'm not sure anybody here lifts anymore
>>35484751

Which one puts more stress on the knees?
That's what's most important to me.

All I see is gray yoga pants.

You go first.

Such a cherry picked video, comparing Oly squats to multi ply abomination lifts from retarded feds. Go compare IPA squats to OLY.

>penis size
Stopped reading there.

>Dysmorphia
What are you talking about?
>>35484888
>thinking a 77kg man would die from a 190kg squat double. I think you've never squatted in your life.
>>35485003
Okay. Legs only or current body?
>>35484409
My favorite part of this post is that it's "low bar is really harrrrrd though"
Fucking kek.
>tfw been squatting for a year but still can't into squatting
Should I stretch more before? I feel like I*m not using my legs at all and it's mostly my hamstrings and glutes.
No, I'm not low bar squatting
>>35485209
one of the videos that helped me the most to make my squat feel amazing:

eng subs should be fine, dont skip forward too much, it's really worth the watch.
