Why do so many women do this stupid squat form where it's basically a low bar squat but the bar is in the high bar position?

It's not a form, it's just bad ankle mobility
But why not just do a low bar squat then? Looks dangerous to do it like this, could easily hurt their neck
Because they're stupid. Rationalizing female behavior is a fool's errand
I don't know the difference between low bar and high bar.
But that looks similar to my squat.
I dip below parallel though.
I have to spread my legs just past my shoulders but I keep my feet in line with my knees.
Same. Just trying to pick heavy weights up and put them back down.
Haven't seen that that often
People are built different. There isn't one way to do a squat, you can mix up form for the benefit of your body. I have longer femurs and squat similar to her. Being too upright fricks with my hips unless the barbell is in front of me like with zercher or front squats
>there are as many ways to squat as there are people
>skwaut
Sssquasts
Where did I say that
Here:
Not what I said at all
>listening to the actual cuck who invented half squatting
The average women (shorter legs/longer torso) has better leverages for squatting than the average man though (longer legs/shorter torso). They just can't push their knees far enough forward due to poor ankle mobility
same situation with me. i have long femurs too and any time, and i mean literally every single time i try to do the recommended thing, my lower back kills me the next day. i just gave up on that and do it like her and my lower back feels fine now.
This, any gays that believe there is a one size fits all for squats is an obvious dyel noob. It took me a half of a year to really get my squat form personalized to where I had good leverages, explosiveness, and could atg without butt wink or spine rounding. While there are general rules, the movement must be build around your anatomy not the other way around
>the movement must be build around your anatomy not the other way around
It's perfectly possible to modify the movement to accomodate for your anatomy though, the issue is that people simply aren't willing to do that. With a forward-enough bar position and enough heel elevation, anyone can squat ATG with no problems unless they have freakishly long femurs and absurdly short tibias and torso
Black person what is the point of elevating your heels
Look at
Elevating the heels reduces the ankle and hip mobility requirements, making it much easier to get into an ATG squat. Even though I'm a manlet I still use heel elevation because it makes getting into an ATG position much more comfortable.
What is the point of doing a fake ATG squat? It changes nothing.
>fake ATG squat
Dude, if your hamstrings are squishing your calves it's an ATG squat, there is no such thing as a fake ATG squat. Heel elevation or no heel elevation, it makes no difference, it's still a fricking ATG squat. What the frick are you talking about?
>it changes nothing
You're getting full knee flexion, that is a big change fren
>It's perfectly possible to modify the movement to accomodate for your anatomy though
That is my point. You need to figure out how you anatomy will affect your squat. You cannot change your anatomy but you can change out you squat, and like you said everyone can squat atg with proper adjustments to their form
Ass to grass is a frickin meme. All you need to do is break parallel and you're fine. I can slav squat for as long as I want but even with front squats I go as low as I need for a nice stretch reflex and bounce up. Going ATG does nothing for me except probably frick with my lower back
>Ass to grass is a frickin meme.
No, parallel squats are the meme. I fell for it, and all it did was shred the shit out of my knees, and I didn't feel shit in my quads, and I felt wayyy more tired all the time due to the heavier loads I had to use. Shit fried my back as well. ATG rapes the shit out of my quads while leaving my knees and back intact, and I don't get beat up from it either since the weight is a good bit lighter. Never falling for this stupid shit ever again, to me it's like recommending going only half-way down on bench. Nobody recommends that because it's fricking moronic, same thing on squats.
>can’t do full ROM because of improper form
>cries and copes about it and makes excuses like a powershitter
Pottery
>with front squats I go as low as I need for a nice stretch reflex
lmao stretch reflex literally kills your gains moron
SSSSSSSNIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!
OHHH YESSSSSSS!!
the answer is always: someone told them it works more ass
Women have dogshit ankle mobility, that's all.
They are just trying to show off their ass. I see this at my gym all the time, shit form and they think they are great lifters. Most women cant lift for shit, its just an excuse to show off their bodies
BRAAAAAAAAAAAP
Why do so many men refuse to go to depth? Parallel is not depth.
Some people literally can't due to the way their hip sockets are positioned in to their pelvis.
Elevate the heels to reduce hip and ankle mobility requirements. Easy fix
>elevate the heels to make it easier
i keep seeing you guys spam this but it makes no sense to me
youre not really going ATG at that point anyways so why bother
>youre not really going ATG at that point anyways so why bother
You are though? If your hamstrings are completeply squished against your calves, that's ATG since ATG is defined as full flexion of the knee
yes but whats the fricking point if youre reducing the range of motion anyways by raising the heels?
theres no magical effect from going ATG that just happens because the skin of your hamstrings touched the skin of your calves, life is not a fricking video game. the advantage of going ATG if you can do it without external aid is its a full range of motion so there is more time under tension. if you raise the heels to make it easier by reducing the range of motion, going ATG does frick all
>yes but whats the fricking point if youre reducing the range of motion anyways by raising the heels?
You aren't reducing the ROM though? At least at the knees, yes you do reduce the amount of hip flexion the more you elevate the heels, but in this case you simply use the minimum amount of heel elevation required to be able to squat ATG without buttwink instead of using as much as heel elevation as possible. You're still getting full knee flexion regardless so the ROM at that joint is the same.
>theres no magical effect from going ATG
Yeah no shit, but there are some practical benefits. It's consistent for one, and you get more stretch on the quads which is better for hypertrophy, and it's also superior for VMO development since the VMO is much more active in that bottom range of motion.
>You could elevate your heels but that will either blow out your knees or back in the long run.
Neither of these things will happen with appropriate load management, and as for the back heel elevation actually reduces the load on the back since you will use a more vertical torso angle, as well as a load reduction due to the quads being forced to work harder
It's because autists are obsessed with this idea of ass to grass being the only way to squat (see -> autistic people can't understand nuance).
People are built different and need to squat differently based on their biomechanics.
You will be hard pressed to find a person over 6 feet that can squat ass to grass without making some sort of major compromise like leaning forwards or taking a really wide stance (sumo squats).
You could elevate your heels but that will either blow out your knees or back in the long run.
And to prove my point, here's what a little heel elevation can do for you
he definitely can go deeper without heel elevation and without this goofy ass back rounding
how many of you guys standing on plates and shit have flat feet be honest
>he definitely can go deeper without heel elevation and without this goofy ass back rounding
Definitely, his knees aren't coming forward at all (and I highly doubt his ankle mobility is so bad that he can't have them come forward any more than that, that would be ridiculous). Heel elevation would still help tho
>how many of you guys standing on plates and shit have flat feet be honest
I have no idea tbh, I don't need any elevation to squat ATG but I still use some because it feels better. I only need weightlifting shoes tho, I don't use a plate personally
no more excuses
>Why do so many men refuse to go to depth? Parallel is not depth.
Because we are not manlets lol
What’s her name
Having wider pelvis makes it harder to stay upright when squatting
dwarf hypno
Longer lever + hinge squat = dicken booty
Better than your technique, dyel.
can someone explain what she's doing wrong? I just started squatting and I kind of look like this doing them except my back is a straight line where she's popping her ass out. myROM is more than this also. It feels smooth but I'm only doing 2pl8 so far. Want to make sure I'm not setting myself up for injury
>unpopular opinion
Quarter squats are without a doubt better than the meme lifts ATG and parallel
>Impossible to get snapped up
>All body types can do it
>fun
>Increased strength gains
>Improved athleticism
>Functional
>Lift heavy
>No downsides
>Safe
>Virtually zero cns fatigue
QUARTER SQUAT SUPREMACY
Absolute weight is an independent fatigue factor, and quarter squats allow you to lift a moronic amount of weight, so no, they're not that good. They're also shit for hypertrophy since your quads don't get stretched that much. If you want to train your top end strength for athleticism purposes, reverse step ups are much better since you don't need a ridiculous amount of weight to do them.
