i was expecting you to drop the bar right as the meathead in the background walks by or something

why do you high bar?

lose the belt, more depth... thats not parallel,
etc.
keep it up thou

I made a video explaining why I switched to highbar. Needed more emphasis on quads. And doing highbar allows for less competition for deadlift muscles. Allowing me to squat more frequently. I do it 2-3 times a week. Honestly this angle sucked. But ye I think I cut about 4 squats a bit too shallow. I'm not really concerned with it. With rep work I'm always worse about it though so I feel when it counts I don't have as big of an issue. And losing the belt is a silly idea imo. As is now between overhead pressing 3 times a week. Squatting 2-3 and deadlifting twce. My back is always figniting with fatigue.

the fail is strong on this one... unrelated to the 10lb plate though

Means your blogpost is a fail since you said your video is a fail, but in fact its not so that makes your post a fail.

Video seems more like a thinly veiled brag tbh :D

ain't that a bitch. Squat too little and no one wants to listen to advice. Squat too much and everything becomes a brag. O.0 meh fwiw I thought my main problem with these videos was going to be people thinking my lifts suck.

its the internet
there s no sweet spot
:D

i m pretty sure you dont have mobility to do proper high bar, i know i dont. the way you do it, with excessive forward lean, hips shooting up too early, you strain your back even more. using belt for anything but heavy triplets+ fucks you longterm
also it seems like programming fail, whats the purpose of military pressing 3times a week? you are not olympic lifter. deadlifting twice also seems unnecessary, you know the old saying... you improve your dl the most by not doing it -_-

Ill try and make another video of the squatting highbar. I was mostly just sloppy in this video but I have no trouble hitting depth usually. I'll film another angle and throw it up to gauge it better. But the hips shooting up early id argue is just because of my lower back wanting to compensate. Deadlifting I do early in my program on weeks 1 and a little on week 2. and then switch mostly to stiff legs until the last weeks. Im running jonnie canditos 6week strength program. I highly recommend it. Been averaging 40lb a cycle on my lifts so far. The OHP 3 times a week is super common. Its a secondary exercise after benching. And benching 3 times a week is pretty standard on most programs. Infact if a PL program wasnt benching/rowing 3 times a week i would call it into question unless it was like westside or something. But most programs will center around a disproportionate amount of upper frequency since it recovers faster than lower body. I actually used to have a program though that was almost no deadlifting and used the squat to drive my DL numbers up. But thats when I was using lowbar. I dont really like that style though. The 3 factors for increasing lifts are muscle mass, strength, and technique and it completely negates technique gains.

EDIT: Actually a keypoint I forgot to mention again was a lot of my leaning forward is also due to not being tight enough. What I was talking about elbows is making me use more energy to stay upright instead of just being tighter.

obv, this extra works is straining your back. also i dont see how acessory military pressing is a significant factor to your back fatique. i still think you dont have the required mobility, my high bar looks somewhat similar to yours, i m unable to sit between my legs and stay upward, so i end up compensating by leaning forward and shifting the center of gravity

no technique gains in low bar squatting? dude cmon...

no i meant no technique gains for deadlifts when u dont deadlift o_0. gotta do both. I definitely can hit below parallel 100% mobility is not an issue. I think I just have too much technique breakdown atm. I'll record a video doing 135. Just to show Its not a mobility issue.

where'd 113lb doomer go.

re: dogmeat on leaning forward

didnt want to say anything cause im a very casual lifter but how much you lean forward doesn't seem good? I've been squatting under the impression I should never be leaning forward throughout the rep

hey how tall r u doomer
