I played seven years of football and have a pinched nerve in my neck which does not allow me to do high-bar comfortably and is the reason I hated squats for many years. Thrall introduced me to low-bar squats and it has changed my life. Instead of squats being a torturous lift for me, low-bar squats are now one of my favorite lifts. I am not saying they are for everyone, but those who truly have medical discomfort in high-bars should try low-bar squatting. I love them!

I always struggled with high-bar as I felt I lacked the ankle and lower-back mobility to reach depth on higher intensity sets. I would have to bend forward to go lower, which is much more difficult to do with high-bar. I recently switched to low-bar, and although my upper body is way more uncomfortable, my lower back and legs feel way better - and my 1RM shot up about 50lbs. As I am not a competitive lifter nor am I really concerned with putting up big numbers as much as I am concerned with overall leg strength and hypertrophy, should I just focus on perfecting high-bar and forget about low-bar? Thank you! I've been lifting for about 10 years now

I have a bulged disc in my low back that makes squatting suck or at least heavy squatting. Its ok for volume and burnouts but not really for heavy anymore. The low bar position makes me ensure i truely lock my spine in a proper arch and my shoulders back allowing me to maintain proper form through each rep vs the high bar position which feels unstable and ends up tweeking that disc that hits the sciatic nerve. So although low bar may build a little less mass and the form may not be the same as high bar but it allows me to still squat even with injury. Even saying this i agree that the high bar is over all better.

Chad, you've trained many football players, what do you do with athletes who have a hard time reaching depth in the high bar squat? I've never been able to perform a proper high bar squat (with full depth and a reasonably close stance) without Olympic Lifting shoes. The same goes for both of my younger brothers. Since neither of them own shoes with a heel, I advised them to switch to low bar. They have and their form has improved dramatically.
@hooplehead10196 жыл бұрын
(Im not Chad) First of all, for football players, Id say hbbs and lbbs doesnt make much difference in the first place. Or rather, it depends on the needs and situation of the athlete which may of them may give you a slight advantage. For example, DL or OL: often lbbs-like stances in tackles, WR or RB - more upright posture with more knee flexion when cutting. Or in season vs off season: In season your lower back has enough to cope with, so tending to hbbs. Then: What do you mean with reaching depth in hbbs? Im asiking because some think that hbbs automatically means ATG (for whatever reason). You can still choose whatever depth you think is appropriate. If you squat a little above thighs parallel youd still have equal or more knee flexion than in a lbbs. But Id recommend either just continuing with lbbs or simply achieving more ankle mobility which you can profit from in general (youtube "ankle stretch").
@xxxTheMotleyCrewxxx6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the response. I personally perform both high bar and low bar squats. I just can't comfortably reach parallel in a high bar squat without heels. I bought a pair of adipowers about a year ago, so now I utilize both styles of squat in my training, during the offseason especially. In season, I actually do most of my squats low bar, unless my low back is feeling really beat up (as you mentioned). My reasoning for this is that I would prefer my hips to be more sore during season rather than my quads (if I did high bar). My brothers and I are all Defensive linemen btw.

@raraavis77826 жыл бұрын
Fiatalember I agree with Michael. I know only a handful of people who naturally prefer lowbar squats (including myself) and they are all awkwardly built for squatting. Long legs (or rather long thighs) lead to a point of gravity further back as you lower yourself into the squat ...and if your hip mobility doesn’t allow to compensate for that with a wide stance you’ll naturally have to lean forward a bit more so as not to fall backwards. Which sucks for your back, because due to laws of leverage, the same weight will actually place a considerably higher burden on you than on someone with short legs and a more upright posture. Placing the bar somewhat lower on your back might not look like a big deal when you see it on others, but it can feel rather different on yourself, if it elevates some of that additional strain. Well, that’s at least how my trainer explained it to me and it seemed to make sense. You just gotta do the best with what you have 🙂

In my experience the low bar can be problematic for some people.

I'm no expert: if you're a powerlifter AND you have longer legs THEN low bar is preferable. However if you have shorter femurs, quad dominant, AND you're in Oly lifting or crossfit, then high bar is probably preferable. Both are useful. This is a great explanation by Chad and Matt btw.
@damienarvo81846 жыл бұрын
Low bar is preferable for almost everyone with the mobility to tolerate it. If you have excessively long femurs you may find you already have a moderate level of forward lean even in a high bar position. With long femurs and the bar further down your back this increases the forward lean to maintain balance. some people low bar squat and their torso practically faces the floor. other people with super short femurs can low bar squat and be super upright. As far as direct leverage and moment arms are concerned assuming the lifter is muscularly balanced then low bar should theoretically always come out with superiority. I'm also no expert, but i do consider myself a student of the game.

As a long leg lifter I have to disagree. Low bar always left pounds out on the table for me. Placing the bar on the rear delts forces me to severely lean forward from the start. However loading directly inline with the axial skeleton on a highbar and abducting my feet with a slightly wider gives me the prefect set up for power.
@damienarvo81846 жыл бұрын
I myself have very long femurs. Squatting with a more medium stance can be troublesome for someone with long femurs and low bar because of the forward lean required. there's a simple fix for this. Sumo stance squats. Going from a medium stance squat to a sumo stance squat optimised all of my leverages. it allows my hips to be more under the bar, reducing the moment arm between the hips and the bar. also reduces the ROM of the lift. stronger out of the hole because of a 90 degree knee angle at depth opposed to like 70 degrees. and this change literally added 30kg to my 10RM within a week. If i were you i'd consider the option.

Front squats.

If specificity is key, why does the front squat not satisfy the weightlifter's requirements? What does the high bar squat supply that the front squat lacks, and does it supply that thing better than low bar? This seems the key point in the low bar for weightlifters discussion, and it doesn't seem to get addressed.

It's too hard on your core, upperback, and even wrists and elbows to front squat 3 times a week if you're an average lifter.

This. Both back squat variants dont have those limiting factors and allow you to train your legs harder.
@Jalfred926 жыл бұрын
Assuming still that specificity is the main factor, would you agree the ideal option would be to front squat as much as possible, and high bar squat as little as is required to ensure recovery, to stay as specific as possible?
@hooplehead10196 жыл бұрын
Exactly - and from that to the reverse: hbbs as much as possible and fs as little as is required. Depending on the context: level of lifter, weaknesses, training season and so on. Even in elite level weightlifters, who are on the highly specific end of the spectrum, hbbs play an important role to generate manageable squatting volume. You can watch pre-competition training sessions of WC and the Olympics with hbbs. Pretty heavy, close to the competition, whereas powerlifters do a much more distinct tapering.

Should've probably stressed back positioning with respect to hand placement more. It comes naturally to us that have done many thousands of reps but untalented newbies botch it.

Yeah man, it really doesn't matter that much where you position the bar, how you position your feet, etc. As long as you're getting to parallel you're pretty much golden. I did a video on this on my channel and thats what I found. Check it out and lmk what you think.

Isn't the key point here that high bar squatting is the best way to build strength and low bar squatting is the best way to attain your ABSOLUTE strength
@BTT72genX6 жыл бұрын
I am much better suited for high bar squats. Low bar squats just have me kissing my knees, and over straining my lower back.
