Bad ankle mobility, too much weight on the lower back, it's not ''wrong'' as much as it is dangerous as the weight goes up
The weight should be over mid foot, you break at ankles -> knees -> hips last, you don't hinge at the hip
Just look at how olympic lifters squat and emulate that, even if you don't go ATG
whats the best way to fix ankle mobility?
i think this is my main issue with squatting, my ankles hardly move so everything else bends instead lol
How is high bar better? Legit question
He’s a DYEL
if youre dyel and starting out, chances are you do a 5x5 program like stronglifts or starting strength and both include squats. add to that the fact that most people have shitty mobility and do low bar squats like in op instead of the better high bar squat
>low bar squats like in op instead of the better high bar squat
I really don't get the difference, how do you chose which one you do?
I just rest the bar at the top of my shoulder blades, which one is that?
You do high bar unless you're a powershitter troony who wants to ego lift
And which one do I do?
>I just rest the bar at the top of my shoulder blades
High bar is more leg focused
Low bar is more glute focused
On the low bar squat you’re pushing your glutes forward to straighten the back and legs out
On the high bar squat you move the knee backwards to straighten the femur and shins out
>you move the knee backwards
What the frick am I reading?
Your knee traces forward over your foot to in front of your toes going down in a squat, and moves back over the foot to it’s upright position as you push up with your quads, leveraging over your shin and femur
Was there something unclear?
I thought you meant I need knees like this fricker
Still don't know which I'm doing, I'd guess something in between
He gives moronic form advice so I never listen to him.
So highbar is better for quads?
yes
I like Alan and all, and I respect that he learns and admits when he's wrong, which he's done quite a bit, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has a more recent video saying that this is outdated and that back squats are superior lol.
lets ask Tom Platz then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTqNRYheANE
That's good and all, but you can just go AtG with low bar and get all the same quad recruitment, all while moving more weight.
oh i see youre trolling, nevermind
>the better high bar squat
top fricking kek
I mean, front squats are the most superior, but high bar is the distant worst of the 3 main squats lol.
Thank God for my home gym, no one will ever see my embarassing gym moments.
srsly, either you get flexible enough for high bar squats or you just do leg press and hamstring curl etc. instead
Most people stand up with their ass first which causes barbell to fall forward even more and they lose balance. Always be mindful about having the weight on the middle of the foot. You can easily tell whether you are falling too much forward or backward.
Also chest up is a bad cue that fricks the form of most people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72hjeHtSEfg
The safety bars are too low.
I know people here dont use safety bars because "they're for gays" or something
