I want a gf that actually lifts, not an intsagram fitness slut with horrible form
>>24703533
Her thighs aren't parallel to the floor.
>>24703533
>Not even parallel
That's not even 1pl8.
>>24703533
>one plate
>while squatting
If that doesn't total or surpass her body weight, I'm not impressed. Since she's Asian and skinny, I'm guessing that probably is above her body weight though?
>>24703757
>spotting while you're standing in the rack
What.
>>24703846
Each plate is 45lbs. The bar itself is 45lbs.

0/10 OP why would you even consider a gf like this
>>24703959
nothing if you're doing 500 pound deadlift singles as a PR but using one to squat a fucking plate is retarded you're gonna want to actually train your abdominals not grow to rely on a belt and atrophy a very important muscle group
Is this supposed to be a lot of weight. I'm a lanklet and do 2 plates.

Unless you compete in powerlifting there's literally no point using low bar unless you have retard leverages or shit cunt mobility.
>>24704014
>belt
>atrophying muscle
nice meme
But in all seriousness a belt will not hurt abdominal development if you do not have it on too tight. For the most part using a belt at heavier weights is always helpful.
And in her defense relative to her bodyweight that is probably pretty heavy.
But that form is inexcusable
>>24704046
low bar and high bar priorities different regions of the posterior chain.
it's personal preference if you don't compete or do oly style lifting
>>24703959
Belts are only acceptable while deadlifting, and you need to be lifting at least 3 plates to not look pathetic if you're a guy. Not sure what weight is acceptable for grills, but 99.9% of girls don't lift seriously enough to even consider it.
>>24704046
If you are going to cut depth like that it is much better to use low bar, using high bar positioning and not even going to parallel just hurts yourself in the long run
>>24703533
that curlbro in the back is looking pretty shredded. Props to him
>>24704076
listen, the belt is used to assist and cinch the abdominals during the lift and take them out of the equation. it's the same idea as wrist straps if your grip is weak. both of these things are good for PRs where you just want to hit that big number but if you're doing reps with a belt you're fucking up because you're not training all the muscles needed to perform the movement and you begin to rely on the belt
>>24704084
>belts are only acceptable when deadlifting
how that 2plate squat coming along anon?
>>24704078
Other than powerlifting why does anyone lift? Get bigger? Improve performance in field sports? General health and well being? The high bar is superior in all those categories.
>>24704130
True, but Im just saying using a belt during a heavy set or two to make sure you dont fail any reps isnt gonna atrophy muscle. As long as you arent warming up in a belt it almost always helps to use one.
>>24704160
most serious lifters I know recreationally do strength training. If you do sports, do whatever you want to train for. But if you don't train for a competition, do whatever.
>>24704111
>advocating low bar for injury prevention
My fucking sides
>>24704160
I have osgood schlatters in my left knee and I find that low bar puts less pressure/ weight on my knees, so there is that. In regards to most of those categories as long as you preform both variations with proper form you should see the same development no matter which you use. Its more how the lifter trains when it comes to things like you mentioned
>>24704046
I enjoy having healthy knees
>>24704183
If you don't compete I'm powerlifting and using low bar you're only doing that for your ego, it's certainly for no other reason
>>24704240
highbar feels awkward and to painful on the back while I can snuggly fit the barbell on my rear delts as if they were designed for one another
>>24704180
you're agree using a belt for one or two sets is very different then using a belt every single time, yes? the reason I said it would atrophy is if you use the belt every single time you go to squat for example, you wont be engaging the abdominals during the lift like you normally would because you'll have the belt as a crutch and if you do that enough your other muscles will grow and the weight will go up but your abdominals still wont be able to support you at that weight and it will snowball out of control. if your abs aren't strong enough to do the lift and you need a belt you should train them until you can otherwise you're not really doing anything
>>24704135
I know you're trying to bait, but I actually just got back from the gym a couple hours ago and upped my squat to 305 for reps. Gonna shoot for 3plt a few gym days from now.
>inb4 you try to brag about how much you lift
Don't care, don't believe you anyways. I'm feeling good about breaking 300, and nothing an anime posting lanklet says could make me feel any less good about it.
>>24704231
what does high bar do badly for the knees?
>>24704240
Do you consider arching your back on bench ego lifting then?
There is not much of a difference between high and low bar squats in terms of health and development.
And if you are going by the fact that only certain athletes can preform certain exercises then there is no point in doing ATG high bar squats unless you compete in olympic weightlifting
>>24704228
I doubt that girl in OP has a degenerative knee condition. Also you're going to forward lean much more on low bar, combined with having to use heavier loading is going to put more stress on your knees. The reason why it hurts more high baring is because you're probably hitting depth.
>>24704265
My first point covered this
>shit mobility
That's why it feels awkward. Do you even calf/ankle mobility?
>>24704287
>see god tier leg man at the gym
>emulate his technique
>>24704160
>why do people lift?
Everyone has different reasons. Some do it for grills, some do it for overall fitness, some people just like doing it because it feels good.
I do it because it gives me something to do besides drink and shitpost here, and the endorphins from lifting make me want to kill myself less at the end of the day.

>>24704312
the leaning forward in low bar is done to have the bar over the center of the foot. If you hit depth on low bar squats very little weight is put on your knees. This leaning forward is done to compensate for the bar being lower on your back and does not shift your weight forward on your knees. If anything when you do lowbar correctly, the position and path of the bar should be exactly the same as highbar squats
>>24704287
maxing out with a belt will allow you to push those numbers higher and increase your working weights. You stand to gain from using one. They are not designed solely for deadlifts. Not using a belt for the sake of "not cheating" is just detrimental in the long run and slows your progress

>>24704522
how does that insinuate i bench in the smith machine? Because I actually want to squat heavy weight with a belt?
I might be falling hard for b8 but i dont even care. You stand to lose nothing and gain so much by using a belt.
>>24704308
Excessive arching just limits the ROM of the lift, if you don't compete why the fuck would you choose less stimulation?
The reason why I said unless you compete in powerlifting you shouldn't low bar was because low bar provides less quad stimulation and has a much lower carry over to other areas of life such as field sports and fighting. And it also has a higher injury risk due to the excessive torso lean.
But my gf already squats 2plate, but with proper depth instead of that shit.
>>24704582
nothing in this post said you do not bench in the smith machine so I'll just assume this is you admitting to it. now we can all disregard your "advice"
>>24704498
You may be right, I'll have to try it sometime. I have one that I use ocasionally for deadlifts.
Also just for the record, >>24704522 is not me but I lol'd at that comment either way
>>24704607
>higher injury risk due to excessive torso lean
I dont really understand how this is an injury risk. The weight of the bar is still over the exact same part of the foot as it would be in a high bar squat.
>>24704662
>>24704662
yeah not saying you gotta start perma using a belt for all your sets, you are right in that it hurts you in the long run. But when you max out it just lets you lift more.
>>24704645
Here's a free (You) frendo
>>24704682
Low bar changes the lift, even IF the bar path is the same. As someone else said in the thread, low bar targets a different area of the posterior chain. Hips, lower back and spinal electors. One of the main cues coaches use for high bar is "chest up and sit back". Why? Because you want to maintain an upright position for both effiency of bar path and injury prevention. You can't do this with low bar, it's a different lift.
>>24704752
>still not denying benching in the smith machine
this fucking kid
>>24704803
I suppose, but I will still hold on to the fact that there is not a higher risk of injury during lowbar squats
>>24704812
i do not bench in the smith machine
