high bar or low bar squat
im not into powerlifting, just want to build muscle mass.
besides
What is trully ASS TO GRASS.
Point when i cant physically get my ass any closer to my ankles?
I can go about as deep with low bar as with high bar and my stance is rather narrow, otherwise my inner thighs are killing me.
Lifting for 2 months, able to squat 90kg for 5 reps atm but want to improve it.
Just do whichever you feel more comfortable doing.
The difference is negligible regarding muscle activation and growth. They will both grow your legs and ass.
Personally I do high bar, as low bar hurts my shoulders due to inflexibility.
you need to do both in order to have the best progression possible
>The difference is negligible regarding muscle activation and growth. They will both grow your legs and ass.
wrong.
high bar = mostly quads
low bar = posterior (same shit as diddy)
rolling for pressups
high bar will train quads more and low bar will train posterior chain (hamstrings, glutes, low back) more. However the best one is which feels most comfortable to you.
for true ass to grass, you need to squat outside on the loan and you will understand.
protip: dont wear pants for the extra tickle
ATG is when your hamstrings and your calves are in contact with each other.
Widen your stance to about shoulder width or a little beyond, it'll let you move more weight. More weight moved = more work = more gains.
Do you know how I know you have a piss weak squat?
it quite literally does not matter which you do
there is so much more variation of squat technique than whether or not the bar is 2 inches up your back or a bit lower down
shut up fucking retard.
Hybrid is the only way to go, prove me wrong faggots.
Bro tip: u cen't
>tfw femurs are so short for my height my lowbar torso angle looks like most people's highbar
I think I'm good senpai.
>tfw my femurs are as long as my torso so my highbar torso angle looks like most people's lowbar
>squatting lowbar unironically
wew
i do both. lb is almost 3pl8 after 4 months. hb is a bit over 0.8 of lb. both still going up without issues every workout.
when i do hb i definitely feel it way more in quads
>being weak
>implying I only train lowbar
My front squat is stronger than most of Veeky Forums's back squat.
Ass below grass is how real niggas squat, pussies
enjoy your buttwink when you get into the real men's weight category faggot
But it is still negligible.
Low bar still makes quads grow a lot/.
Learn to stretch pussy bitch. Poo like an Indian everyday and your mobility won't suck
alan thrall makes a video on the difference. Look it up, but in a nutshell he says a low bar squat is basically everything in a deadlift while a high bar squat hits the posterior chain
>hear about the low bar vs high bar meme
>Never really pay any attention to it
>One day while squatting notice I squat high bar
>Try a low bar squat
>Do working set ezpz
>Add 5kg
>LIGHT WEIGHT BABY
>Add 5kg more
>Struggle but push through it
>Fuck it mane go hard or go home
>Add 5 k g more
>Bang out 5 reps
>Struggle but push them out
>Fuck high bar, low bar ftw
>High bar, never again.
>make lift easier
>act like its just as impressive
This is the mindset that leads to silly back arching on bench and sumo deadlifts.
Lift properly, stop the corruption.
>silly back arching on bench
enjoy your no chest gains, along with your upcoming rotator cuff injury bitch boi
I meant more like the arch you see women and manlets doing in powerlifting contests, were the back is like 12 inches off the bench.
Of course a small arch is acceptable to prevent injury.
op here
i think ill just make a vid how i do both
and upload here some day so people can see which form is better
My issue with high bar is that it mashes my traps to shit, which isnt terrible but its there
but lowbar feels "tighter" and less stable idk
i have less practice on lowbar tho so that might be the issue
with highbar sometimes the bar is resting on my back unevenly
>high bar = mostly quads
This isn't front squat. High bar and low bar isn't such a drastically different exersise. It just switches up your levers and includes a bit more of the hips. The main movers are still the same as high bar.
no such thing. it's either butt on the bench or not. how much you arch is based on your body structure. git gud
LMAO fuck back squats.
Front squat + Deadlifts masterrace
>outside on the loan
but i don't want to owe anyone
SSB squats + highbar + front + lowbar + conventional deadlifts + sumo deadlifts + block pulls + halting deadlifts + good mornings master race reporting in
Inferior lifters get out.
>low bar=posterior
For fuck's sake, every fucking thread with this shit.
The quads are worked practically just as much using the low bar movement. It just adds in a slight leverage advantage, that's it.
