High bar ATG > Honourable > Used by clean, tested Olympic athletes > Used to obtain glory for nation > Used by men who are cut and muscular > Actual useful movement (Better shits, can rest without chair)
Low-bar parallel "squat" (ie. botched good mornings) > Dishonourable > Used by fringe fatties on horse steroids > Used for 5 seconds of instagram fame, when fellow fatties comment how strong you are > Used by "men" who are on perma-bulk, cannot be diffrentiated from the obeast. > Useful to bounce your belly off your thighs to lift more
Which do you choose?
Also, there are no other squat style. No point doing ATG lowbar, stupid if you want to lift more weight. "Parallel" high-bar is a joke, more like 45 degree knee bends. If I wanted a joke, I'd ask you for your squat form.
i started lifting before the internet was a thing and just naturally squatted that way before even knowing there was such a thing as high-bar vs low-bar.
Joshua Morgan
ATG or not? Non-ATG is counted as a 0 rep. Non-ATG squats are the kipping of squats.
Angel James
hello dmitry i squat high-bar ATG i see you in gym later?
Ayden Stewart
gratz on that 2plate squat
Ryder Jenkins
High bar ATG of course. Low bar is fucking retarded ego lifting, like sumo deadlifts and super arch bench.
Nathan Diaz
Why would you do high bar skwats if you don't compete in olympic lifting? Even then, front squats are a better option.

Stop making excuses and start stretching every night. Maybe you can come out of your 0-rep hole someday.

Front squat
Henry Brown
What if i train all of them ?
Connor Anderson
I do a mix of high bar and front. Low bar feels uncomfortable to me, could be my body measurements or something.

Sebastian Gray
lowbar because it's comfy supreme
Bentley Howard
front squats + high bar back squat checking in
Easton Ward
low bar is superior, high bar is terrible.
sometimes i rest in the down position by placing my shoulders on my knees.
Bentley Butler
the one that works more muscle mass
low bar
Chase Parker
i've been doing whatever-feels-natural-bar for about 6 years
probably going to be doing leg press bar soon
nice squat you must have a lot of gfs
Andrew Sanchez
I do highbar because it's more comfortable for me.
Jayden Morgan
High bar and squats. Nothing against low bar. Just feels more 'natural'. If you are making gains and not getting injured who cares
Lucas Ortiz
Both. Like any lifter should.
Joseph Baker
i dont see how you could not go atg, its the natural for me
John Morgan
>that guy barely 90°ing his shitty low bar good mornings >looks around like a tough guy for all the weight he's moved >take his rack when he's finished and do perfect sets of ATG highbar with same weight
is there any better feel?

You sound like you spend a lot of time watching other people instead of working out.
Michael Roberts
i like to show off my superior squat form, i also like to do some front and overhead squats when i'm done so everybody can mire my form.

Owen Hernandez
haven't been squatting long, only recently hit 70kg and have been doing low bar. My natural squat depth is basically ATG and i've only realized recently i can't maintain proper form at that depth with low bar
would switching to high bar help w/ this or should i stick w/ low bar and try my best to not go ATG
Cameron Smith
>overhead squats
lmao
Logan James
i usually squat high bar, but i've been fucking around with low bar here recently. lowbar feels like a more mechanically advantageous good morning, which feels great for my deadlift. i feel like you can incorporate high bar and low bar equally in your training and benefit from both. i'm currently squatting high, low and front sort of off and on while i work up my low bar. i want to eventually replace high bar with low and supplement with fronts.
squatting in general feels great, though, no matter your bar placement.
Nathan Williams
Front squats are a fuccboi exercise for pakis and skeletons who are too scared to get properly under a heavy bar.
Lmao.. the fucking excuses people make to avoid back squats. Literally the only lift that requires any mental fortitude (other than bench without a spotter I guess) and people do all kinds of mental gymnastics to avoid doing them.
Ethan Moore
funny because you arent eben flexible enough for a back squat?
Owen Gomez
this skelly has ptsd from being bullied at the gym
Easton Hughes
nice projecting fatty
Luis Harris
Hey guys been doing SL 5x5 for a month and a half.
I usually do low bar ATG and recently I have found that I take a 2 second pause before coming back up from the squat, is this bad?
Cameron Jones
Try stretching by maintaining ATG position without bar for 30 seconds.
Nathan Anderson
>You
Nathan Hill
>Front squats are a fuccboi exercise for pakis and skeletons who are too scared to get properly under a heavy bar.
I didn't see a single powerlifter in any of those videos. Just steroid abusing recreational bodybuilders who squat high.
Dominic Sullivan
srs pls respond everyone else squats so fast
John Thomas
t. ass mad powerlifter with dogshit ROM
Mason Morris
no it isn't, it just limits the weights lifted
Bentley Gomez
normal people do paused squats because it's supposedly harder
Sebastian Watson
>tfw can atg front squat more than most of Veeky Forums can back squat
Landon Cook
You'll have more strength and control at the bottom of the squat which is probably good for injury prevention and overall athleticism.
Julian Wright
>> Flexibility is part of fitness Have you ever tried doing 3x10 front squats in rack position? RIP wrists you dirty nigger
Ryan Cruz
Thanks lads, I thought I was fucking up by pausing when I went down.
I actually pulled some tendon or something because I was trying to squat fast like everyone else the second week I was lifting, I fixed my form and it's been much slower but I haven't hurt myself since so it's all good I hope.
Fast squats will kill you.
Cooper Ortiz
No just dying because you are doing overhead squats when not an oly lifter.
Luke James
The tendon was in the back of my left knee btw.
Benjamin Turner
