Does it really even matter? We all know that high bar is the correct answer.

This dude got THIGHS

>>76927823
Right in between is the sweet spot

saw a video of a bitch snapping her arm in half doing low bar the other day so im inclined to say high bar unless someone can provide me a video with someone snapping their arm in half doing high bar
>>
>>76927823
Low bar is just so ugly. Nobody has ever seen a low bar squat and thought to themselves "wow, that's a nice squat".
>>
>>76928017
How did she snap her arm doing squats?
>>
>>76928368
She was doing low bar squats.

It doesn't REALLY matter

some people put the bar down too low, you can lift more weight but you compromise your bar stability if you're not hunched over leading the bar to fall behind you so people compensate with putting the weight on their wrists.

low bar is king
>>
>>76927823
Only Low bar if you're trying to hit low back, glutes and adductors.

If you're a sane individual and you're squatting for quad growth high bar all day.
>>
i do front squat. im not a chad tho
>>
>>76927823
Some people are better built for high bar, others for low bar. Unless you plan on competing on powerlifting, go with the variation that's more comfortable to you.
>>
>>76928580
You're better off hitting quads with front squats, pendelum squats, leg press, lunges. Squats are supposed to be for glutes.
>>
>>76927823
I can't help leaning forward too much with high bar a squats, im like 5 10 and i read that apparently long femurs mess up your form on squats

I lean less forward on low bar so ive been doing that instead
>>
>>76929188
What? It should be the opposite. Check your stance.
>>
>>76929220
yeah maybe im just fucking retarded, ill check myself more before I blame femurs and go onto low bars
ive been told my core control is shit on squats maybe thats it
>>
How the fuck do you do low bar? Like I feel like I'm gonna dump the bar forward with muh hip drive and when I'm going down I don't know how far I'm supposed to sit back.

I got my squat up to 315 for 10 high bar but can't wrap my head around low bar.

Also, on a side note, I've developed a pain in my lower right ass cheek and inner right thigh 2 months into doing low bar. Something I've never gotten with high bar, so I don't know what the fuck gives.
>>
Im a natural lanklet. Front squat and highbar feel more natural to me, but after like 13 years of low bar, I understand why its superior.

Quad engagement on both squats is near identical - the big difference is low bar uses a lot more hib, glute, back and hamstring. So quad engagement is the same, but posterior engameent is more w low bar. Low bar doesnt "neglect" the quads at all. It just ADDS more glute/ham/back/hips, which is why you can lift more weight. Lifting more = better.

Why are you forcing yourself to do low bar? Rippletits is truly a meme. Actual literary mind disease definition. That stupid fat fuck.
Just do high bar. You're obviously built better for it and you're obviously getting gains with it. Some people can do both comfortably. Some can only do one but not the other. Do the one that you're least likely to get injured from. One injury is going to fuck up your gains far more than any tiny increase you're imagining from doing one over the other.

>Why are you forcing yourself to do low bar
Fear of not getting enough hip activation with high bar.
>>
>>76929363
sit down pausing ATG while doing highbar and tell me your ass is not sore the next day, I swear it will be
>>
>>76929444
Stop giving advice.
>>
>>76929452
What's wrong with what he said?
>>
>>76929363
>Fear
So you're going to risk injury for imaginary minor gains? Stop being autistic. Stick to high bar.
>>
>>76929232
Honestly if you're more comfortable with high bar just do good mornings.
>>
>>76929363
Just do your hip hinges.
>>
>>76928536
>>76928560
I think I see. Pisarenko would not be pleased
>>
How are you supposed to hold the bar without snapping your wrists in half?
>>
>>76927823
lowar sent me to snao city... not worth it bros
>>
>>76927823
squatting is pointless
>>
>>76930516
Do you ever get tired of being really really small and weak though?
>>
>>76927823
High
>>
>>76929946
like this but with your hands touching the bar to keep it from moving

>>76932835
I think that might be the easiest 310 in existence.
>>
I want to squat again so bad but my knee is shitty and hurts all the time.
>>
>>76932888
have you been to a doctor/PT about the knee?
>>
>>76932912
I went to a doctor 2 months after I twisted my knee. Got an xray done and he said it's just a sprain... it's been 4 months since then so I think I'm gonna have to get shit checked out again.
