    Hello, Sir. Can u kindly explain the difference between moment arm and lever arm? I am confused cause I thought they are same.
    Thank you.

      Yes. I´ve got that question too. In his presentation I guess there´s a mistake cuz he says "moment arms are perpendicular to the line of force", but lever arms in the picture fit the description more, don´t they???
      Actually at a second look it could be the other way around....I´m messed UP :(

    When you say much more demand/load on that joint, for example the knee joint means more emphasis on the targeted musculature the quads, isnt that bad though to put more load on the knee joint? A lot of people have knee issues overtime, wouldnt you want to protect it by using the different types of squats?

      Everyone has different ROM. If you have no problems with your knees, then your knees going over your toes while the heel on the floor, should be fine.

    important to note that in the context of hypertrophy the front squat is actually inferior to the BB back squat for quad development

      No, it's not. Especially if your leverages won't allow for a good back squat

    Probably the colors should be inverted, because this looks like the lever arms are not the bones, but you say that bones ARE the lever arms

    As a tall lifter with long legs would high bar be better for my back squat? I've been using front squats as an accessory but am thinking if I should replace back squats entirely with front. Thing is it's hard to breathe with high rep front squats.

      High bar is definitely better than low bar if you have longer femurs.
      The low bar squat has a tendency to turn into a "good morning" exercise in lifters with your body type.

      thank you. i'll continue with high bar and work on it

      isn't this entirely dependent on how you manipulate your leverages at the end of the day?

      I'm 6'4 and lw bar works better for me because it puts less pressure on my knees as i've very long femurs. Best accessory is pause squats and BSS.

      height isnt the issue..its your skeletal structure..trunk length, tibia length, femor length all play a big part in the squat and deadlift. different variations will work better for others
