Learning to squat to parallel with a low bar stance, with the intent to lift more. First few tries found it really hard to stop at parallel! Songs: Goodbye Norma Jean- Elton John Can’t touch this- MC Hammer

I wonder how high he can jump….
i think you actually hit more depth with the second squatting style
great work – nice hip drive.
actually im 13 and my max raw squat is 600lbs ass to grass
Very nice!
check my clean vid =]
sorry but the so called atg squats where parallel… o.0 and the parallel squats looks like atg… wtf… haha
What’s wrong with it? Much futher than I can attempt with my knees. Looks great to me, keep up the good work!
His negative is too fast.
good job man, respect for sure. I am sure no one on this post has the balls to get up that weight, correctly, and fuckin slay it like you have.
im switching from high bar oly style to low bar right now, or at least trying. what kind of carryover did you get from the initial switch over once you got the form down? i see you went from 440×5 to 500×5, was that purely from the lower bar placement? also, how long did it take you to feel comfortable with low bar?
…are going.
Please keep in mind that I wish not to debate and am not-unwilling to field questions from the poster.
All the best,

i m no expert but we all know that high bars are for leg strength and low bars are for poundage. ever met an olympic lifter who trained low bar?
@Lehi145 thanks for the reply. i got it figured out. my foot placment on the leg press and hack squat was too low and narrow. i adjusted and the strain is gone. i just smashed 405 ATG all the way.lol
Good amount of weight, but that dude looks like a fat slob.
ATG is NOT NOT NOT any worse for your knees that anything else IF you don’t relax at the bottom, if you relax your knees at the bottom…. just don’t, cant help with the strain your feeling, practice lighter and they should loosen up if your keeping your form right
nice..and without a spot
It’s good to see your strength going up, but i was wondering if it has improved your weightlifting total?. I am interested to know,

try sum ham stretches post workout
they might help
Warsheeper;
I understand your argument, but I thinks its an individual thing. For some people full squats don’t hurt the knees, but for others (like me) they will kill your knees.
@camodanny09 depends on your foot placement, the closer you put them the more you will be able to go down. Also you might be feeling stain on your knees because you are not holding the weight on your heels, but on your middle foot, which make your knees hold all the weight on a bad angle. If you trace a line form your knees to the floor, the line should be parallel with your legs.
flexibility, a full ATG squat is actually better for your knees than squating parallel
so, stupid question…. is ATG bad for the knees? I’d like to think that i squat pretty low but at a certain point i feel the stain on my knees. flexibility issue? or just the movment?
good form
Hey, wow you’re really strong. It’s great to watch you lift. Is there really difference in depth here though? It seems you hit the same depth after?
