Fake Natty bro did just watch Allen video. Good stuff brother. Let’s strive for strength. God bless
God bless you guys this awesome information. Man, you guys are great. Don’t know how much to thank you. Let’s see I will buy one or two of your shirts. Sounds good 👌🏼
Fake Natty I'm pretty impressed you had a reference for that.
Everyone should only high bar squat because it looks far more cooler and aesthetic, and everyone knows that looking looking cool is all that matters in life
I have to agree that highbar definitely looks way cooler haha...but then again, I lift more weight low bar...so maybe THAT looks cooler lol
Weightlifting elitists' arguments in a nutshell.
Ok Clarence
X-Zap it's a shit rocket.
whats NOT cool about it?
Lol :D
I can't stop staring into your eyes. It's distracting. Can you hide them please.
Anthony Brady they’re beautiful

this bench press video was very helpful
When two of the best squatters ever do a video about squatting. It's always worth to pass by ! Thanks a lot Chad and Max !

Never got the low-bar squat to work. Never did it for more than a couple weeks without my elbows shouting at me to quit.
I did it for 4 months before I got the hang of it.
You need to get used to supporting the bar with the rear delts and not letting it shove down into your elbows. It does have a steep learning curve
Try holding the bar loose with your hands and widen the hand position as far as possible. But yeah for me lb is not worth it anymore way too much risk to fck up your elbows and shoulders
And the wrists ofcourse
Thumbless grip does wonders i find. I still can't grip the bar with a thumb grip. My elbows,wrists,and fingers gets numb before even completing 1 rep
I had to start squatting high bar because it's easier on my back.
Oscar Oropeza You might just be leaning too far forward in your low bar. Essentially goodmorninging it. Either way though highbar rocks so yeah lol
Glorious High Bar Olympic Squat ATG !!
世紀末救世主 High Bar olympic squat is repetitive
I would say that low bar is also beneficial if you're having knee pain from the increased ROM in the high bar position. That's my situation.
As long as you're getting to parallel you're getting most of what you're gonna get outta squatting for general strength development. I do a video on my channel about this that might help you out.
This is why I like your methods. You stay open minded, allways learning, and open to integrating all aspects of training. You are truly becoming a master of your craft. Keep it up.
High bar atg Olympic squats are aesthetic as fuck so that's what I do
Great video! Can you guys make a video like this comparing sumo vs conventional too?
Man, I’ve needed this video for months. I love squatting, but I’ve been battling with deciding where to invest my time as far as my bar position. I really enjoy both. Thanks for the Upload guys. I hope you guys realize what a service juggernaut provides for all of us trying to get better.
Thanks. Glad its helping
Low-bar + Front squat my ideal combo.
Front squats are evil man. Absolute nightmare.
Low bar + goblet squats for me lol
Me too sometimes in the same day
Same here
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!
Great video. I like how it emphasized that they are both the same exercise. I think that this is something that people get hung up on when starting out. I myself enjoy the lower position of the bar on my back because I am able to increase the intensity and overload.
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
heeled shoes?
@@IamLEGENDkb24 Those were a huge help. Started using squat shoes about 5 years ago.
I am much better suited for high bar squats. Low bar squats just have me kissing my knees, and over straining my lower back.
I like the top set low bar and training with high bar. I really love high bar but I know I'd probably be more competitive doing low bar so I'm gonna start implementing it more
High Bar feels so loosey-goosey hips-wise and uncontrolled (even when I am technically staying tight and rigid). I like me some Turtlesquat (slow eccentric). My legs don't seem to get as much work either in High Bar....
Both Ed Coan and Fred Hatfield squatted exclusively high bar in the off season switching to low bar during the pre meet phase
Low bar allows you to lift like shit where as the high bar will keep you honest.
Low bar squat with hip drahve is da best form of squat
takes too much out of your posterior chain
There are millions of misinformation around the web.. Thanks JTS for enlighten us... 😍
Ridiculously good video! Everything I was looking for and more.
Nicely done, keep it up
Thanks
Never going back to high bar. Ive always stayed away from low because it was uncomfortable but one day i was just like fuck it because i had hit a plateau in squat. Ive added probably 30lbs to my squat. Definitely recommend low for most powerlifters
Low Bar + ATG Front Squat = GAINZ!
Same. I get about 15% more out of low bar, but front squat for the mobility.
Do you mean "gains"?
Triston Valadez in bodybuilding, your opinion is right! U build more quads muscles! Low bar trains your back and quads!
Your back doesn’t do shit in high bar squat.
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.
Great Stuff Again! You guys provide so much free quality content!
Thanks for watching
Who's got the link for the video on scapular mobility and control that chad mentioned ~18:00

Ed Corney squatting low bar with Arnold
Chad looks like a friendlier Jeremy Hamilton lol
High bar vs front squat please!!
But why?Do one for a block, and the other for the next...you need to be strong in all of them.
Both. Front squat has more carryover in weightlifting, but you can load a high bar squat much more than a front squat.
I came here from starting strength. Its sacrilegious what they are saying about low bar squats.
Well I feel pretty bad now! I sucked at high bar. At every rep I felt I was fighting not just the weight but the technique as well, every set was grindy hell, whether 60-100-140 kilos. Then on a whim I changed to low bar and somehow it was immediately more comfortable (although I did spend a few weeks acclimating, mostly for the shoulders). I felt like an efficient "machine", where the cogs fit neatly... maybe I am just weak :(
No you’re not, you just have better mechanics for low bar probably. Throw in high bar during your hypertrophy blocks to get your low bar even stronger
Fiatalember
Are your legs long relative to your upper body?
Rara Avis yepp. Im pretty tall as it is (196cm) but my limbs go all the way and back too
Disregard the entirety of the grief the low bar Squat was given in this video. These very intelligent gentlemen have successfully replaced an entire discussion on the subject of mechanics and consideration for trainees like yourself, with “its just different”. Don’t let this video discourage you, keep training productively, and get a good coach. Hell I’ll be happy to take a look at your training footage, lmk.
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 🙂
Who is the chick at 08:17 that’s a fucking beautiful squat
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
The two movements look very similar
Legs too long...torso too short. My squat is trash.
My guy 👉👉
But your deadlift is MONEY
If doing super total training would it be better to high bar or low bar squat?
Who gives a shit a squat is a squat this. Is not russin training
Fuck that low bar shit. I can’t do it but if you can that’s cool.
Question: Will doing more low-bar squat have more transfers to deadlift than high-bar does?
Depends on the lifter's build and preference. My back angle on high bar looks more like my back angle on conventional deadlift. Either way, they both help. Heavy low bar work will probably fatigue you more than high bar
I say ATG front squat is overall the most rewarding variation
I think that it's just dependent on your goals at the end of the day.
Do you enjoy rewards such as an inability to breathe, and constant knee pain?
James Griffin comments like that show your lack of understanding
James Griffin constant knee pain? lmao
Lizard, Yes. if you front squat, not only will your knees hurt forever, but when you die (probably from not being able to breathe while front squatting), you will be reincarnated as a millipede so you can enjoy 200 times the knee pain forever more.
What happened to these guys?
In your older series "Squat school" you examine someones high bar squat, and say that what he is doing well is breaking at the knees first. But in this video, you said you should break at both the knees and the hips at the same time. Which one is it?
yandereSyndrome the cue in squat school was being done because he always went hips first, so needed to overcue towards the knees to correct. Hips and knees together is best bet, weightlifters may still tend to knees first because torso being upright is such high priority for them.
Thanks for the reply!
really useful video
Im going LB thnx
Max Aita: could you be a little more condescending? Please? I’m sure you can if you really try..👍.
Excellent info guys you never disappoint.
So for jumping and sprinting power movements training it doesn't matter what variation you use just sqauting 🤔
Great videos, but what, WHAT did Max eat?!?!
Been wondering for years
The pagination of that text over the shoulder was great. Also the slap on the bum
I'm glad I watch this video because I was getting so much pain on my arms I couldn't bench the next day
Low bar brings the hamstrings in to play more....building bigger legs.
A.F.S. Or you could just do high Bar for the quads then deadlift variations for the hamstrings dumbass.
Low Bar brings hamstrings in to play more, but takes out a lot of quad & abs. The combo of the anterior chain dominant high Bar squat and a posterior Chain lift like a stiff leg deadlift is how you achieve the best leg development.
@@puppy8125 you don't work less quad on low bar it's the same
This channel is just gold
Thank you
Chad's high bar squats look exactly like a low bar
High bar back squat caused me to get a nasty scab that burns on my upper back where the bar is. Any tips??
thanks!
Really great points! Those eyes are as mesmerizing as the information presented! Good stuff.
Thank you Max Aita and...Notorious Westside Hater CWS!!!
Verry good video! I only don't get how a low bar squat looks like a overhead squat?
can I squat high bar without shoes-barefoot?
This is what I really neeeeeeed.
Hm. Chad is explaining the low bar squat here, but no one is callings poorly executed low bar squats. Wesely squats. Ironic isn't it.
Low bar is awesome!!!
Anyone who even has ever done a high bar squat is a pansy!!!!
💪
Which squat for athletes
For team sport athletes?
www.jtsstrength.com/3-keys-exercise-selection-sport-performance/
what does it mean then? Should i low bar or high bar?
@@kk-ds9ix I think it depends on the sport and how you want it to translate. If you're doing oly lifting, then I think the highbar is more specific. If you're using your squat for general strength development, either will do. I do a video on my channel all about the squat, check it out, it might help you.
Marissa is strong AF, I could watch her squat all day
The reason I like HB is because i can grip the bar as hard as i can whereas if I LB I feel like I have not much if a good grip on it a d I dont think I have the mobility/flexibility for it.
Should I keep my elbows perpendicular to the bar during the squat or can I keep 'em in line with my torso?
If I do too many squat variations I seem to lose the groove or technique of low bar then when I want to lift heavy!
wow fellas.... great video, very informative. Will help competitors of varying levels...... well done.
Highbar just looks cooler to me tbh
Awesome amd informative vid. 🤘🖒😎
PS that bar looks like a child's toy on Chad's back Lol
Should you lockout your hips or not in both high bar and low bar squat?
6 sets of 10 HB Squats, goddamn man. How many total sets a week of legs would someone like Marisa be doing in a hypertrophy block?
15ish
the focus on full-foot pressure is so important
For a low bar squat do you think squat shoes would help? My ankle mobility isn't the best. I want to get the Nike romaleos.
If anyone can give me some feedback that would be great! Thank you!
Roberto Gomez Hey man I have Romaleos. They help a lot with front squat and oly work but I didnt like them for low bar. That being said if you’re limited by ankle mobility it might be a good shoe for you. It’s a pretty aggressive heel, there are other shoes like the rebook powerlifters that have a lower heel. I have a video on my channel all about squatting, check it out and lmk if you need anything.
Where is Max’s funny name???
Aita's squats are beautiful
Thank you Chad and Max
Does anyone know anything about a 'mid trap' squat? I'm neither high or low bar and find mid trap the sweet spot for me, I'm just wondering which of the two this is closest to? I break at the hips and have a torso lean so guessing more low bar for me anyway.
IMO you're splitting hairs here. If the bar is comfortable and is sitting mid trap, and you're capable of getting to parallel, you're good to go. I do a video on my channel that analysis bar placement on the squat, take a look and it might answer a lot of your questions.
I was feeling ashamed for low bar squatting and quit, But now i wen tback to it now that it is understood, its all in your Body's Shape
Exactly, you need to do whatever variation lets you get to parallel. I do a video on this on my channel. check it out, it might help you out.
Any advice for tall, long limbed people for working on high bar squats? I was under the impression that low bar was better for my biomechanics and I suddenly have a coach that will not let me use them. Is it just a matter of practicing the form until it becomes natural?
Joel Rudy You might want higher heels in your Weightlifting shoes.
Highbar masterrace
Please do more videos
great video guys
They seem to be very nice guys. thank you sharing so much knowledge with us.
If I get bicep cramp doing low bar, do I have to move my hands out or am I do8ng something wrong?
This may help: ua-cam.com/video/Sk0xwz6jNiM/v-deo.html
Low bar aka cheating yourself by making it easier to lift more weight
????? elaborate
I want to be strong.
How much more % weight do you think you can get on a one rep max with the low bar over the high bar?
It can’t be exactly calculated but most people say it will be approximately 10% increase in low bar squat
I'll have to start doing more high bar squats for my hypertrophy stages. Thanks!
Ohhhhh now you tell me to high bar on the hypertrophy phase when I'm almost to my strength phase! I'll get it one of these days
The weird thing is, they start the video by talking about how much it doesn't matter and they ste essentially the same exercise. Then proceed to give all the differences.
His voice is so soothing I just keep on watching it again and again
What happend to the gym?
Excellent video, thanks.
Thank you for these videos! Very helpful and informative.
Hah! Is that the homey Pit?
