>he low bar squats
fucking disgusting.
low bar squat is not a real squat
prove me wrong faggots
Low bar is just fine; the important thing is that you squat. That being said, I like the feel of high bar better, so I do that.

So many fucking people on /fit/ advocate for lowbar squats. Honestly, I have literally never seen anyone do one in my gym ever.
I would even go as far to say that highbar is overall safer as you can get a better grip on the weight.
>>37696534
Everyone in my gym except one low bar squats
>>37696540
lowbar squats are trash, admit it faggot

Post your squat bigboy.
>>37695705
kys faggot
here's your (you)
I know other people have strong healthy shoulders, but i don't why anyone that has had even a hint of shoulder pain would risk that shit,even if it is the superior squat.
Low bar is fine, but it's basically the same movement as the deadlift. So I just do high bar squats and deadlifts for maximum variety, otherwise your quads will be neglected.
>>37696873
if you want good quads the best option would be to do front squats
>>37696817

Well low bar squats can be disgusting for some of you, but then again, just hitting the gym as your hobby can be disgusting for most people. It just screams that you are insecure and want to get big, unless you are doing it for sports, like weightlifting, or for other performance reasons like strongman, powerlifting etc.
All of you gymrats are in the same boat, try to understand it
>>37696956
dyel?
>>37697327
yes
>>37695705
for 99% of you gymcels there's literally no difference between the two. I do low bar because I have scars on my neck that hurt like hell with the friction when I do high-bar squats
I'm squatting 3plates and I have no idea if I squat high or lowbar. The first time I squatted I just picked a position that felt comfortable and stayed with it
>>37697341
>>37697351
Never said I didn't know the difference between the 2, I said I don't know which I use
Some people told me highbar while other people tell me low bar.
I just take a comfortable bar position
>guys who have powerlifting for 2+ years struggle to bang out a disgusting low bar squat with a belt, knee wraps and whatever other bullshit they wear

Sorry pal but there is no one more annoying than high bar purists
I switched to lowbar and it feels way better compared to highbar (for me)
I find it's much easier to transfer the force through my heels
I'm still having a little trouble with unracking and positioning my hands/upper body though

Low bar is better

its not the same movement as the deadlift.

Pls work
>>37696128
N-nuh uh...
>>37695705
Hmm, why would an olympic lifter really care? It's not like they compete in the squat do they? Nope, still just CJ and Snatches, no squats or bench presses or deadlifts here.
>>37699184
It's still funny that oly lifters can rep out a lot of powerlifters max squats and it's not even a competition lift.
>>37699209
Oh? Haven't seen anyone come even close.

Y-you too
>>37699890
you could incorporate front squats because they work on the quads more than low bar or high bar squats.
Also with a good technique your back would be all right

Cringe.
I used to do high bar, went to snap city and now do low bar. I feel infinitely better, my posture is better, and my back rarely hurts and I've been getting stronger.
Haven't seen a reason to ever switch back to high bar. Is there any legit reason?
>>37700629
no
If you like doing low bar squats more than high bar squats then just keep doing low bar squats.
Lmao at newbies thinking squat and deadlift is alpha and omega of leg training.
Low-bar is pretty much the same thing only with the bar on back instead of in hands.
Just pick one of the two and do more hip thrusts on top. That might cure your flat ass/tumor thighs in the long run.

O-Okay
>>37695705
Low bar is just a fad like sumo deadlifts, if you're really interested in seeing your maximum of course you're going to low-bar squat as it decreases ROM basically.
Sumo deadlift is the same thing, eliminating some ROM and also increasing use of other muscle groups to be competition viable while also having relevancy to the same type of lift.
I don't really see either one as beneficial to someone who isn't trying to pack on strength ASAP. I used to low bar squat when I first started out and the one thing I always remember is that the pressure it places on your knees at the lowest position was dangerous at least in my case.

>>37702126
If it was putting pressure on your knees you had shitty technique. Sorry to break it to you.
Low bar recruits more overall muscle mass, which allows you to squat more. High bar recruits less muscle mass, so you'll always HB less than you would LB. The difference in ROM between a properly executed HB and LB squat is negiligible. Depending on an individual lifter's ability to maintain lumbar extension, it's non-existent.
Anyone who wants to prioritise strength and muscle growth should use LB.
Yes, elite tier oly lifters use HB almost exclusively at very heavy weights. But guess what? None of us are them. They're doing it because it's an assistance lift to their competition lifts (they need to be able to squat as much as possible with a vertical back angle, and HB squat lets them train at higher weights than a front squat.) And because they're already /extremely/ strong. They're at the point where they need to make a trade off between increasing their overall strength and increasing their strength in the precise, specialised movements they need to use to compete.
I can all but guarantee that none of the people in this thread are at the point where they're strong enough that the gains they can make by squatting lowbar are worth sacrificing for specialisation in oly lifting.
But do whatever the fuck you want, it's your body.
>>37700863
It normally ends up being in my warm ups too.
>>37702126
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Sumo deadlift and lowbar squat aren't used to decrease ROM. Lowbar squat recruits more primary muscle mass than the highbar squat, and thus you are able to move more. Whether you deadlift more sumo or conventional is purely based on your own proportions and bone structure. If you train both, and actually have good technique with both, your max with either one will be within 50 pounds of the other.
>>37696128
In
>>37696128
counting on this
Low bar does not recruit more muscle, it is more mechanically efficient than high bar, so the same amount of muscle can lift more weight.
>>37696128
pls
>>37702796
Noted.
>>37702913
It does decrease ROM and as someone said makes the movement more mechanically efficient. The bar is basically located closer to the shoulder and there's (less or is it more) torque to overcome vs a HB. Am I not mistaken in that or did I just read a few articles that were completely wrong?
