Exactly. If everybody squatted low bar, they would be doing only 1/3rd of the weight they would otherwise be doing, because low bar works your muscles better, and is more difficult to do heavy lifting on. I see people adding 600lbs and then barely bending their knees, what is the point of that?

There are some people that are insecure at the gym, whether or not they are in good shape.  There are also people that are just pricks, take your pick.  I try not to pay anyone any mind at the gym, I just go there to work out and leave.

That is one of the most ignorant things I have heard lately crystal, gj. Do you guys have any concept of what olympic lifts are? Low bar doesn't work your muscles better, that is a vague and nonsensical claim.

People are different and have different body types, a squat style that works for you might not work for someone else. More difficult does not mean better.

By low bar do you mean doing a full squat?

Yeah I don't understand this, it's a squat. I was always taught there's 2 ways to do a squat, the right way and the wrong way. No variations :shrug:

Go do bench press with your legs in the air, that will be harder but it isn't better for your chest. You have to do the movement that works for you.Different people are built in different ways like ive said.

No, that isn't at all what i mean. Low bar refers to the position of the bar on your back. Olympic lifters squat high bar, with the bar closer to their neck, whilst powerlifters typically squat low bar with the bar rested more on their rear delts.

Yes, in Olympic-style squats you go down even further. You squat down as low as you can, until your knees are completely bent and your butt is practically touching your calves:

There's obviously a proper way to squat. If there weren't any rules, then Olympic lifting wouldn't even be considered a legitimate sport. There's a proper way to do EVERY SPORT, from golfing to tennis to figure skating to lunging.

Okay that's not what I meant by low bar, I was simply talking about doing the full-range of squatting motion.

Well, that is what the term low bar means when people talk about it. If you look at powerlifters or olympic lifters you will see they all squat differently, some with pretty noticeable variations in their form. There isn't really a definitive way to do it was the point, hence why you should take rippetoe with a grain of salt.

You are right, there's different variations on the squat. However, when you are doing each variation, you are still supposed to do its specific variation correctly with proper form, otherwise it's not considered a real rep. I think that's what everybody was talking about.

I've never really had a bad experience with assholes at the gym, but I do like to buy my own equipment. A gym will always have more equipment possibly of a higher quality, but there is something really cool about owning your own stuff.

The worst experiences I've had at the gym are just when it's so packed that you can't get onto ANY of the equipment that you want/need.

I just wanted to say that to see a human rep a set of squats with "perfect form" is, in the words of an old coach, "A thing of beauty."  Idk, I think squat form is often hard for many people at first but when you see someone who's got it down repping 500 lbs or more it's incredible to watch.

Vapor's right Crystal. Also, plenty of people bench without having the bar touch their chest. Plenty of BIG ASS professionals. So fuck whatever people at your gym will make fun of people for. People who go to the gym and stare at other people and mock are losers. Not everybody has the same range of motion in their shoulders.
