Low Bar vs High Bar vs Front Squats

[puppetmaster]

Low bar for my main lift since I had a weak posterior chain and that was a sure fire way to correct some things.


I use high bar/zerchers/fronts for accessory/ volume work.

I use to love regular squats but now that I have hip bursitis and my back tightens up from time to time I do front squats more.

Bout to check out that hip belt tho. I'm assuming you can use it for dips and pull ups too, right @Malta ?

It's a good investment, no matter how good my form was my back would always feel like shyt doing squats.

its the disc compression, all squats/deads will be taxing to your spine/CNS even with good form

Once I went high bar I never looked back.

Correctly performed zercher squats (meaning below parallel) are so slept on. I'm about to enter 400s territory with them.

You can load up like 10 plates if you get a big enough loading pin, but you don't need to use as much weight since the weight is directly on your quads and takes your back out of it completely.

I use the iron mind super squat belt

You still rocking the belt or have you gone back to barbell squats?

Still using it, don't think I'll ever go back to the bar.

What are you standing on when you use it?

At the gym I use the plyo boxes they have, and at home I've only done it a few times using step ladder with really light weight

Whats your leg routine

Whats your leg routine

I'm doing German Volume training, legs once a week but with a lot of volume 10x10 with 60% 1rep max on the squats. There's a little accessory work at the end of the 10x10, leg curls, romanian deadlifts etc. But for the most part it's really basic.

Last year when I was doing legs 3x a week, I did 225x10x10...wasn't right for a week.
