HIGH BAR for HIGH TEST purposes

Care to extrapolate?

obviously most of Jow Forums prefers low bar, cause their mobility is non existent and low bar lets you e stat even more

lol
highbar is only for giga turbo manlets wanting to cheat ROM

I usually use a wet towel and thread thru the plates like a needlehead. Hang towel around neck so the weights clap infront of my face as Im pushing up. No claps, no gains.

High bar gets my blood pumping, and ready for a challenge.
Low bar is when i want stability after i fuck up my knee again and again.

lowbar.
gf does goblin squats with 4kg. Last time she did 3kg fuuuuaaark amirite guys

Low bar and front squats is all I do

>highbar cheats ROM

how in the fuck

high bar personally
low bar doesn't feel secure enough and I have my form down to be able to hit depth with high bar anyway

Doesn't show anything except that this dude has serious explosive power

Don't respond to my post if you won't extrapolate, thank you.

4kg goblin squats.
I sincerely hope you are joking. That is fucking pathetic.
I have yet to find a single person that is incapable of doing at least an unloaded barbell. Those that can't are either injured, morbidly obese or anorexic. I don't know which your gf is but make her do proper fucking squats.

What the fuck part of this is "cheating rom"?

Apart from the fact that he's a manlet

I extrapolate from this post that you're a faggoot

thanks for the laugh

HIGH bar HIGH test
The words in caps indicate the correlation

HIGH bar HIGH chance of sucking cock for creatine money

sounds high test to me

low bar low prospects
low bar low income
low bar low iq
low bar low sex drive

>no words in caps
>ergo no correlation

Do you have to hold your arms like you're mocking a Russian dancer

Low bar because my 24 yo knees are going bad. Everything starts falling apart when you hit middle age.

what about your glute muscles?

>24 yo
>middle age
You're a weak faggot, I'm 31 and didn't work out a single day of my miserable life before I hit 30 and I squat 3pl8 front. Faggot.

>that 30 year old who squats in the gym

I like highbar because I have the mobility for atg, but I do feel like my strength gains have slowed past 3.5plate. I wanna do lowbar but I can't be bothered figuring out proper form. Instead Im going to replace all squat sessions wirh front squats for a few months in the hope of getting some sick quad gains.

I squat 405 and deadlift 535, faggot. Bragging about your front squat is like bragging about being good at fingerbanging. It's not the main attraction so it doesn't matter.

Started off high bar then began to get some knee pain (patellar tendonitis) so switched to low bar. I've been doing that for a while now. Done some high bar squats recently though and felt no knee pain so I've been altering between low and high.

Low bar on heavy sets and high on lower sets

high bar

low bar is vulgar plebeian trash for the obese and the immobile

>herr derr these are my estats btw front squat dont count
I squat more than you low bar too and your deadlift is honestly laughable

>having short femurs and a long torso is cheating ROM
Wrong. Manlets are just built for squats.

Obviously. It would look weird when you kick your legs out at the bottom otherwise.

Old guys get mad so easily

Highbar but currently lowbar because knees hurt otherwise.

Lowbar actually requires more flexibility imo.

Diddlies my man

did high bar for years, now doing front squats

nice change of pace and they feel much better to me

front squats hit glutes just the same as back squats do t. EMG

Kind of related:

If I want to improve my sprinting ability, what squat variant should I use (to include front squats, hack squats, etc.)?

I'm already 4pl8 on low bar, but I switched to a 3 day PPL now and trying to pass a fit test soon, so I'm trying to optimize my leg day.

Hahahahahhahahaha

Front Squats to make everyone else look soft.

I'd recommend a combo of front squats and barbell hip thrusts. Glutes are very important for sprints, so you should target them directly with thrusts. Front and highbar are the best for athletes and are essentially equal with front using a bit more of the quads.

HIGH BAR BABBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I always have done high bar because I used to not know about low bar and it just feels like the correct way to squat to me.

>that pic

What's funny is that a bitch can't tell 6'0 from 6'4, all they see is "taller than me". They would need 5 guys lined up from 6'0 - 6'4 to have any idea that one is taller than the other.

High
It's more comfortable anyways

lowbar. It activates more muscles and tendons.

lowbar squats for functional strength, leg press and accessory lifts for hypertrophy.

Low bar requires more ankle dorsiflexion and a great deal more shoulder flexibility. Knee and hip flexion is equivalent.

What stretches do I need to do to hit parallel on my squats?

Prefer lowbar because it feels much more comfy. I do either depending on where I'm at in my training.

>activates more muscles
Oh how wrong you are.

>one rack position uses more quads than another

Stop spreading misinformation.

what is that? like 95 lbs?

105kg or about 230lbs. Nice try though. Because no doubt you'll come back, 10kg bar with 2pl8s, 1x5kg, 1x2.5kg on each side.

>nice try though

i cant even see what those plates say you faggot. nice try though

gumtree.com/p/weight-plates/2-x-20kg-body-sculpture-metal-weight-plates/1267455653

Funny I don't take pictures of all my plates. Black one is dumbbell plate from Argos. Are you really doubting the weight on the bar?

gumtree.com/p/weight-plates/6-10kg-body-sculpture-weight-plates/1293564617

Funny that all these weights look the same

They do, but the diameter is about 2/3s. Do I really need to walk outside and stack some plates to prove this shit?

no, im trolling you. don't waste your time proving yourself to some random person who won't make any difference in your life unless you want it to

Fair fucks. I'm grumpy, want to eat more steak and get black out drunk. Should have just swore at you rather than putting effort in lol

>Knee and hip flexion is equivalent.

>Low bar requires more ankle dorsiflexion

Nigga wat?

High bar has greater knee flexion, low bar higher hip flexion. Low bar also has LOWER dorsiflexion of the ankle.

I don't know what you're doing, but that sure as hell ain't a lowbar squat.

>get black out drunk
>lol
protect those two digits you have left

I might not have exactly the proper bar positon for lowbar squats, but on top of not feeling as secure they absolutely destroy my scapulas spines.
To the point I was so bruised I couldn't even low bar the next lifting day.
So despite being tall with very long femurs, it's high bar for me, feels much more secure on my traps and I can put over 3 plates without having a purple back.

>nameless trip(fag)
shoo

Low bar because I squat more than all of you faggots on this board

hm?

I'm a manlet and can't squat

StopBeingABitchxF

lol, my bad. i dunno why i fuck with people like this online. i should not be coming here anymore

Whatever gives us some happiness or meaning in life dude

Lol

Bruh I'm simply not flexible enough and don't want to waste time on a stretch that isn't actually helping

Those are 10kg plates, with 5 kgs, so 60kg excluding bar weight

Checked

Dude’s talking about your IQ

>wooo i can squat 2 pl8 with poor form wooooooo

lmao

Is it ok to stay on the lower position for that long without breathing?
I sometimes end up a bit dizzy after a hard set and I read that it may be because I don't breath properly, but now I see this dude taking all that time to squat and I am comfused

squatting, even with perfect form, accelerates the deterioration in your knees. AMA.

Compared to the size of the barbell, there's no way those are 20kg plates.

low bar
my legs are too long for high bar it seems. never feels good

then why, as a 33 year old man who used to have a host of knee issues, did doing squats make my knees better?

Strengthen the muscles around the knee helps a ton. I have had knee issues before any my doctor actually told me to do back squats.
