Tips for high bar and low bar squats

Here are some of my tips on high bar and low bar squats:

 

High Bar Squats:

 

Bar Position: The bar should be positioned on top of your traps, with a narrow grip.

 Foot Placement: Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointing slightly outwards.

 Movement: Focus on sitting back and down, keeping your chest up and your weight on your heels.

 

Low Bar Squats:

 

 Bar Position: The bar should be positioned below your traps and above your rear delts.

 Hand Placement: Your grip should be wider than in high bar squats, with your thumbs on top of the bar.

Foot Placement: Your feet should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointing outwards.

*Movement: Focus on sitting back and down, keeping your chest up and your weight on your heels.

 

Overall, high bar squats tend to be more quad-dominant, while low bar squats tend to be more hip-dominant. It's important to find the bar position and foot placement that feels most comfortable for you and allows you to perform the movement with proper form. Experiment with different variations and find what works best for you.
