I'm a powerlifter and I squat high bar. It feels more comfortable for me. When I squat low bar it feels as if the bar is going to slide off my back  :-\

I get marks too but they go away after a few hours. This is like a scab across my back. My highbar is about 20-30 lbs down from  my lowbar squats. I find it dosent feel any less secure on my back but I get off balance and onto my toes when I go heavy highbar.

Yes. Powerlifter use a lower placement on their back so they can bend forward and get better leverage and use different/more muscle than doing highbar squats.


My shoulders get pretty red from the yolks on the Hack Squats, in addition to squat bars too.

Not necessarily.

Look at Russian powerlifters and many European powerlifters as well. Very powerful squatters, with the bar placed high. It actually depends on what suit and under what rules you lift.

I only squat highbar... feels great. No pain or anything.

And it allows you to squat while staying pretty upright.

I only do goodmornings with a low bar placement.

I am really not feeling the hate here. Any of the old boys want to help these guys out? Alex, McJeff, Block?

I will get it started...

marcus, are you saying that NaturalWonder is the kind of guy who pays a homeless man to shit on his chest then justifies it by saying he is supporting the less fortunate?
