I alternate them. I can lift more with the low bar and I feel the squat more in my glutes and hamstrings. But I prefer the high bar due to the increased range of motion.
Your right, The low bar is a ugly folded over bent over squatmorning like your humping air bent over with a barbell halfway down your back!The only reason why all people lift more with squatmornings is it puts you in a position to do so. it's hips glutes and lowerback dominant while almost leaving out the legs! . This lift does not build lower body leg strength, a developing novice to intermediate that's sqauts a 3 plate lowbar for reps would get pinned under a 2 plate highbar squat, I have seen it! So much for lower body strength! The highbar is much more easy to learn but slower to get stronger on but it's well worth it. Strong legs are very important and a weakness you should not have. Notting beats The highbar back squat and the front squat for leg strength.
Really appreciate the multiple examples while you're giving the instruction...very helpful to see and hear what we're doing right, and sometimes wrong🙃. 👏👏
Great, quick video! But Chuck Taylors aren't squishy if you remove the insole. You only need squat shoes if you lack the ankle mobility to squat properly. And the lowbar squat doesnt demand much ankle mobility...
Addendum: I haven't seen it very often. Maybe twice in the last five years, but don't squat in socks. That's a Darwin award right there. Lifting shoes will help a bit with butt wink as well.
I don't know whether I should cry or laugh at this. You're making weightlifters use low bar for their squats? What. Sidenote: What's the best Sinclair score one of your weightlifters have hit? Male or female.

As Johnny Candito will attest, people who high bar squat are morally superior.
Sorry, I switched to high bar and I'm never going back.

BrowningFirearms why?
High bar squat = Olympic squat. Low bar squat = good morning squat.
Mid bar? 😄
@@Wo1fLarsen Sure.
I agree.

Pause squats are brutal.

Thanks for the kind words, and you’re very welcome!
Thank you Phil! At the gym today, I’ll work on 3 mistakes that you covered here. Merry Christmas to you and everyone at your gym!

You're welcome, Tom, and that's great! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
High-bar squats for the win!
I can't recall when exactly I heard Phil say, "Stay in the lean." Yet, years later, that little reminder resonates tremendously with this old guy. :D
Glad to hear it, Doug!

Shoes aren’t only for ankle mobility altho ofc they help with that
These never get old. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words, and you’re welcome!
Always enjoy seeing someone squatting heavy with the weight way up and resting right on the cervical vertebrae.
Addendum: I haven't seen it very often. Maybe twice in the last five years, but don't squat in socks. That's a Darwin award right there.

When you squat, hold your breath like you're going underwater, and you get to breathe again at the top. Somebody once told me, that.
That's a good analogy :-)

Most of these folks are doing good morning back squats. Hard on the back and much less quadriceps involvement.
Jeffreywalker Like who?
Lost me at the 1st point. wtf is wrong w/ a high-bar squat
It’s not as complete
I’ve done high and low bar squats. Got more strength from high bar so I don’t get your point. Not everyone responds the same way
How do you determine you got more strength?
