I've had a relationship end over the butt shooting up on the high bar squat. Proper technique, it's that important.

Very interesting history on the belt squat!

[@ck-rd2ce]

Teddy has been "highly coached" to do a half squat The point of a high bar squat is to get more knee flexion, not artificially limit forward knee travel

[@mattwenning2164]

Ahh thanks for tip.

[@mikep3322]

Sad my 1st ever squat max in 11th grade in 1995 was 115lbs. Now its 345. It's called not giving up when people talk shit. I just subscribed my dude

Long femurs (like me) makes squatting so freaking hard, especially high bar squats.

How did you determine you have a long femur? Compared to who/what?

[@nitinmalharjaggi3281]

@@justbreathe8835 with comparison to your upper body and lower body length. Ask your tailor to measure your inseam and torso.

Why didn’t you display the front rack version of front squat ?!

[@hewesy7265]

Not necessary for powerlifters to be that flexible

[@mattc4266]

S H1990 it’s more stable than the version he displayed tho and it’s not necessary but would definitely benefit

[@hewesy7265]

@@mattc4266 I think the learning curve would be too long. I personally use the front rack position but I don't feel like it is superior enough to spend the time learning it TBH. I only know it because when I used to throw we did a lot of weightlifting as part of our strength and conditioning.

[@benemirate7584]

Leonidas Arkona doing 360kg frontsquat, his best backsquat til now is like 400 bis I'm sure now he can handle 430 to 440 highbar narrow stance, that's his oersonal technique, but I'm sure with a wider stance lowbar he can squat up 500 with some practice, but when he feels stronger in this technique it's up to him, he's fucking strong who am I to tell him something, would be cool, if you would reach out to him

[@WenningStrength]

I don’t know him

Aren't both guys squatting too high? It looks like the top of the hip crease is well above parallel.

[@WenningStrength]

Yep we just got done killing ourselves training and then shot the video

[@gothops2632]

@@WenningStrength But even if you were tired, squat depth should be lower, right? The weight was still light, so should be easy enough to squat deeper. I just would have liked to have seen the proper way to squat, which includes proper depth. I know not that people who aren't training for powerlifting don't necessarily need to squat deeper, according to Dr Stuart McGill, but I'd like your take on this. Thanks.
