I've done high bar ever since I started squatting

I switched to low bar this week and I must say I feel MUCH stronger and it feels amazing(specially dem glutes)

I slightly widened my stance as I was pretty narrow with high bar, my depth on low bar is just as deep as my high bar and I am still pretty upright.

It feels so good, I could put some converse on and widen my stance more and not go so deep but .....should I? Why?

How deep do you guys go when you squat low bar ?

My next video will be a 4 plate squat or a 300 bench. I'm close

Just below parallel. When I do high bar I generally go ATG.

The biggest struggle for me when I switched to low bar was keeping my knees out. I had to hammer my adductors for quite some time.

You have any vids with low bar ?

pm me

I'll take a video this week.
Just wondering if I should ditch the oly shoes and go flat when doing low bar

Not sure if I'm doin it right lol

Depends what your goals are... What are they?

I'd give each a shot. If you're used to oly shoes, probably stay with that, although I prefer flat soled for squatting and I use low bar.

Also wouldn't want to extend too much below parallel in low bar, but if you have been doing high bar atg for a long time, it probably wouldn't matter as much to you anyway.

Don't really have any ..I lift for fun, I love it .

How come ?

Ofc is depends on what a person is training for , here I just lift for fun ....

What I'm trying to ask is , it's (is it) good to squat low bar ATG.
When I say ATG , that's as low as I can personally go.

I seen quite a few younger strong ass dudes squatting 500+ (YouTube) And I would say my form is somewhat similar to theirs. Low bar , oly shoes, deep, narrower stance.

Terrible pic is terrible

Like I said, ATG , that's low as I can go , that's low bar .

One for the lolz, my cousin and I warming up. As you can see , the different forms . He pushes quite a bit more weight than I
