i wish at 15 I was built like that guy
>>36595711
whatta fuck those squats which are "right" look absolutely retarded. Its like deadlifting with the weight on your back.
He looks stronk desu.
>>36595819
Thats right, this is low bar squat (powerlifting squat) which more actives your posterior chain (same as deadlifts) and with this style of squat u can lift more weight.
>>36595855
and you get fat and ugly with a gut
>>36596055
>performing an exercise makes you fat
>>36595855
Exactly. More muscles are recruited which allows more weight. If training for general strength is the goal, it makes a lot of sense to train as many muscles at once with the most weight you can. Just more efficient.
>>36595819
youre whats wrong with the general population
>>36595711
holy shit this kid looks fucking dead inside lmfao
someone PLEASE put the "his smile and optimism: gone" thing over his face

muh powerlifting. muh neckbeard. muh lowbar
behold my masterwork
>>36595819
Rippe teaches a retarded squat
is the low-bar squat holy to rippetoe?
jesus christ, talk about being a nazi about it
>>36596541
The low bar squat is a much more technical lift. Anyone who doesn't want to put the time into learning it should high bar squat.
Im not gonna jump on the low bar bashing train because it's a good exercise but this is bullshit. After all Rips emphasis on on keeping the weight over the midfoot, which the kid does in the "wrong" way in this video, Rip corrects him amd the bar is fucking miles in front and he jist good mornings it up.
one the one hand you have the SS-style low-bar squat, feet apart, nipples pointing down etc
then you have Olympic high bar squats with feet together and eyes up etc
MOST people will do something in between
>>36596609
I do something like that. I hold it in highbar, but still do the whole slutdrop kinda movement with my ass.
>>36595711
So should I stop doing high bar since it's vertical? Sounds like it doesn't rain my back muscles like low bar does.
>>36596685
Worst of both worlds
That sets you up to be on your toes the whole time and strain your knees
>>36597617
If you're already doing deadlifts I wouldn't worry.
Do Lowbars if you're just going for strength, I'd recommend highbar for most people.
>>36597632
I don't mean I go down lowbar with highbar grip, just I unlock the hips and bend the knees to go down rather than just bending the knees. Hard to explain. It's probably just a regular high bar lol.
>>36597693
Another anon here. This makes sense. You can easily do hybrid squats. You just have to adjust how far you sit back and lean forward depending on where it sits on your back if you want the weight mid foot.
>>36596576
Yeah it was pretty exaggerated. It's hard to actually have a properly balanced squat with no weight on the bar. Should have had him put one or two plate on the bar.
>>36598054
This is true.
