>I high bar squat because it feels more natural and gives me a better physique

So, "feels more natural." Hmm, well that sounds entirely subjective.

And, "better physique." Pulled directly from your asshole. How exactly do a few inches of bar position on the back develop your legs in significantly different way?

>I low bar squat because some physical limitation keeps me from doing high bar squats properly

And this is somehow different from "feel more natural" to you?

>>
>>35936405

low bar if you're going to compete in PL or want to push maximum numbers because that's what you like.

Highbar/front squats if you're competing in Oly or only care about quad size.

Personally I lowbar in adipowers because it feels the most comfortable.

just experiment homie.
>>
I would do low bar, but it hurts so freaking bad! Besides, all I want is a cute trap butt, so high bar is just for me :3
>>
Lowbar, you stupid faggots. The only reason you dumbasses like highbar is because it's easier.
Quit being a pussy and squat low low low.
>>
>>35936405
Whatever's more comfortable OR whatever your sport demands. Does not matter much for someone who's just lifting to get bigger/stronger in general. Also consider that you're free to experiment for yourself over time.
>>
>>35936405
Low bar if you're a fat powerlifter and high bar if you want to make it.

Do whichever one comes naturally to you.

If you are into WL you should do high.

Otherwise do what you want.

High bar if you can. Low bar if you must, or if you're competing.

Front squat if you're able.

There should be no pressure on your neck whatsoever: either you were leaning too far forward (torso should be as straight as possible in high bar) or you were somehow trying to rest the bar on your neck instead of your traps.

>>35938455
High bar has always been easy for me since I have humongous traps to make a nice comfy shelf. But I force myself to go low-bar due to wanting to focus on my posterior chain more than my quads.

High bar is inferior to low bar for EVERY sport, including Olympic weightlifting.

Idiot weightlifters believe they do high bar squats to train movement patterns because they're stupid. You back squat to build strength, regardless of your sport and the techniques used therein. Low bar, beyond any doubt, is a better method to train strength than high bar.

Weightlifters need to front squat in order to train the recovery from heavy cleans, particularly as it relates to keeping your upper back tight. But high bar remains a stupid, bastardized hybrid of actual strength training and misguided efforts to make training look like practice. It has the drawbacks of both low bar and front squats, with the benefits of neither.

>>35943965

It's not functional in any sports because the movement is not natural or anything that you do in any sports. It really only exists to move the most weight in that move.

So if I'm trying to focus on building glutes and hammies, do I stick with low bar? My quads are disproportionately bigger than the rest of my legs, but I still hit them with front squats.
>>
>>35944339

Squatting doesn't really target hammies. If you want more hamstring activation i suggest you do romanian deadlifts

This has happened twice, I fucked both of them probably only saying 20 words to them. A girl literally pulled over once and asked me if I needed a ride. I said "yea" hopped in, and after about 5 mins of talking she asked me if I wanted to come over to her place, and I ended up fucking her. Trust me, girls mire everywhere I go.

Sure you do. Remember you need to go below parallel. I know ice hockey players who front squat twice as much as I do with half the ROM. Here is a video of my bench press form. I only care about moving the most weight so I can have big ego. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NfKXDtrwss

Doesn't count if you're wearing a belt, keep that in mind. Belts are cheating.

Is this how powerlifters curl? I mean, you can lift more this way.
>>
High bar unless you are a powerlifter. Who is also fat.
>>
>>35946381
I wouldn't know
I don't curl.

Again, nice redirect attempt.
>>
>>35946381
You might be able to deadlift and squat more than me but I can curl 165lbs with strict form
>>
>>35946381
Yeah, that's so silly. He'll never make his arms grow doing that, let alone become world famous for them.
>>
>>35946402
What about pull ups, do you kip? Or are you too fat so you say they're not necessary, like curls? Admit it, low bar squats are inferior, even your fat powerlifter friend did in the video posted here.

>>35946427
>everything arnold does is unquestionable and absolute
>arnold only did cheat curls for his biceps
>exercise is literally called cheat curl

Funny, i googled "horrible curl form" and that was the second image, didn't even realize it was arnie at first.
>>
>>35946476
If kipping is allowed in your sport, you're a top fucking idiot for not kipping. You're also an idiot if you don't take some training time to learn how to kip efficiently.

I can do 17 strict chin ups for the record.

How many times will you get btfo before you finally fuck off with your tail between your legs
>>
High bar = sexhaver
Low bar = fat powerlifting virgin
>>
Low bar. The only people who do high bar are gym rats(dyels) or weightlifters(dyels unless they're internationally competitive, and no one on /fit/ are). I was at a local powerlifting meet this sunday and most of the competitors were ripped, even if they put up mediocre lifts. And almost everyone did low bar squats.
>>
High bar because of the pic related you posted. If you can't go up with a high bar squat, you can descend back down and try again.

Low bar squats are for fatties with poor mobility.
>>
>>35946512
Congratulations on your only argument being "BUT I CAN LIFT MORE THAN YOU SO I'M RIGHT BTFO". Literally nobody but powerlifters say low bar is better.
>>
>>35946557
Okay here let's talk about results instead of your shitty malformed opinion

What do you squat anon? Easy question
>>
>>35946570
It's not even my opinion, it's everyone else's. Again:"BUT I CAN LIFT MORE THAN YOU SO I'M RIGHT BTFO". Also

>defending kipping pull ups
>>
>>35946570
Oh boy, the ego of fat powerlifters is disgusting.

It's not about weight you fat fuck. Get your head out of your ass and do a proper squat.
>>
>>35946542
>>Low bar squats are for fatties with poor mobility.
Low bar squats require more mobility then high bar though. Shoulders, biceps, hips etc. The only limiting factor mobility-wise in highbar that I can think of is if your ankle mobility doesn't allow for proper knee travel.

>>35946557
Post pics/films of your ripped legs or strong squat pls
>>
>>35946589
>avoids the question

Just answer it man. I want to see how many times I can rep your max with your form
>>
>>35946536
Wait, so you're saying that everyone at your powerlifting meet did low bar squats? Huh. Interesting. Who would've known fat powerlifters do low bar squat??
>>
>>35946598
Who the fuck cares? I'm sure you squat way more the me, it doesn't matter. Powerlifting is fucking retarded, it's like you got every record on the guiness book and made a sport out of it with a bunch of retards trying to emulate the record holders.
>>
>an entire thread dedicated to being butthurt by how other people lift weights
...why?
>>
>>35946542
or for people who want more posterior chain work and better carryover to daily life.

seriously, these threads are pointless because every dyel on /fit/ has an opinion on which is better, without understanding that it is 100% on your fitness goals which kind you should use. maybe one, maybe the other, maybe both, maybe none.

now shut the fuck up.
>>
>>35946623
>Who would've known fat powerlifters do low bar squat??
The only fat people I saw there was 2-3 female lifters and a middle aged men. Meanwhile we have fat weightlifters like Mart Seim doing high bar, therefore every weightlifter is fat. How can fat weightlifters, aka every weightlifter, live with themselves?
>>

>>35946590
>it's not about weight
It literally is in my sport. It's just an accessory or pump work to you.
>proper squat
High bar and low bar are both proper you lil shit, it's PREFERENCE. It's what you can do better. It's what you program for depending on volume and maximum recoverable volume for your training block

>>35946670
Based anon

One isn't better than the other. It just depends. I prefer low bar.

Also
>implying high bar is more technical
Top kek, low bar is insanely technical and nuanced. Squeezing every kilo out of an exercise drives perfection. "Pump work" requires no skill or understanding. It's just pump work. It's just an accessory.

I do LB because I want to hit my posterior chain harder. Glutes, hams, etc. Not incredibly interested in getting joocy quads.

Yeah, because a guy with a big ass doesn't imply he doesn't have a strong hip thrust making sex more enjoyable.

lol you powerlifters being virgins has some truth to it.

it's spelled HERCULES you dumbass motherfukker
>>
>>35946862
Other way around. LB focuses on quads because they half rep their set, and HB focus on glutes because of the depth. HB also focuses on quads as well. LB puts a lot of emphasis on the hips and back.
>>
>>35946805
You get more hip flexion/extension in low bar

There isn't an appreciable difference. Just know-nothings regurgitating what they've heard

Oh Jesus so fat look at that fat you must be a powerlifter

Okay guys seriously which one should I do? High bar or low bar?

in the words of CWS
Highbar is the best mode for building strength.
Lowbar is the best for expressing that strength.

>>35947235
High bar if you want to make it and low bar if you're a fat virgin powerlifter.
>>
>>35947274
Thank you anon. I've been getting mixed messages.

Every single fucking time. Just because you move the bar a fucking inch further up or down on your back does not mean you suddenly have to stand there in sumo stance, grunting like a retarded ape.
