 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | I think if you can naturally squat high bar and deep, then stick with it. Most ugly squatters (myself included!) would prefer to squat that way, if we could. | ||

Normally lowish bar and me knee's travel forward a good bit and I always squat down to my hamstrings on my calls. | ||

Fair enough, the knee travel and back angle is what I'm talking about really. That type of descent will allow for a safer looking squat. Not something I can really do all that well with much weight, but imo it's preferable to the hips up/GM'ing style. | ||

 Has achieved nothing. Member 1386, 292 posts | People misunderstand the differences/aims of Powerlifting squats vs Oly squats. Too lazy to find an article now but I find amusing the way this chap says "the IPF is dominated by the Eastern Europeans who use a hybrid type squat". When someone mentions a PL squat we all think of the guys in the SPF squatting 1000lbs "world records" http://muscleandbrawn.com/forums/attachments/powerlifting-stre... Yet we forget the real 1000lbs squat by Kirk Kirk did not go 5 inches high like the guys in the SPF yet he did not go 7 inches deep like an Oly squatter or have the bar on his neck. | ||
