Most powerlifters do most of their training high bar even though they squat low bar in competition. Low bar lets you lift more weight but high bar puts more emphasis on the quads, and high bar puts less strain on the elbows for those with elbow tendonitis (i.e. 90% of powerlifters at some point)

i for the life of me cannot get it any lower than that pic

high bar if your focus is athleticism and bigger quads in a shorter amount of time
otherwise go for low bar if you just want to move NUMBERS

Narrower grip fixed my elbow issues, did shoulder dislocates and stretched my chest. For most people a tight chest obstructs low bar than other flexibility.

your ankle mobility and back strength must be really shitty for you to low bar and use a belt

Cope or bait, this was my first time squatting 200kg cleanly. I'll wear a belt at this weight if I want.

Why not train lowbar, since it works more of the posterior chain than high bar? You can always do front squats to suppliment quad work

Do you grip the bar with your thumb underneath or do you put it on it rippetoe style?
I tried to do it rip style but my elbow always hurts
Jose Morgan
Thumb over/Rippetoe style
I can't do thumb under without bearing weight on my wrists/stay secure.
Try the things I outlined as it can't hurt.
Take a video from the side too to make sure your elbows aren't going under the bar at any point, bearing any portion of a reasonable squat on your elbows is going to hurt. This is what used to happen to me.

If you actually squatted instead of doing that disgusting mongo shit, you'd be squatting 10% less.

I thought low bar hit gluts and hammies more than high bar? I don't need bigger quads, they're already obnoxious.
Angel Garcia
I still don't know which I should do...
Carter Cruz
Christ, just pick one that feels comfy and do that. Or do both.

Can't you retards who start an entire thread for your personal question just fucking Google or go to the qtddtot thread? Pathetic weak special snowflake syndrome faggots have done shitting up my board.

oly style squatting how oldschool bodybuilders like tom platz or arnold did builds more aesthetic legs with bigger teardrop.
low bar squatting, or any squat that's not below parallel, and doing lots of leg presses gives you ugly legs like most people today.

They are both good to use, High bar builds quads the best though. But the benefit of Low bar is that you can lift more weight and it's easier not to squat too deep. Just do your hardest sets in the way you feel most comfortable.
Justin Mitchell
Low bar builds glutes and spinal erectors more, but high bar builds hamstrings and quads more.
Camden Allen
Based and underrated. This lift made my quads and traps expand like nothing else.
