@WaaahWah Are you asking why they don't do low-bar squats? I'm sure many do, they just aren't a staple of any weighlifting routine as you don't need that kind of recruitment from the hips

[urbansprawle]

@WaaahWah wtf r u saying? What does high bar squatting have to do with getting the bar overhead in a C&J?

[WaaahWah]

@urbansprawle

So? You still need to get the bar overhead in the first place. Besides, they already do front squats and OH squats for strengthening the bottom of the snatch and C&J. Why not do a squat variation that involves more muscle mass, and more importantly, more posterior chain involvement than what they are doing now?

[urbansprawle]

@WaaahWah That's for a different exercise, the snatch. The snatch involves an overhead squat.

[WaaahWah]

Hold on a second, if a power clean relies on mainly the hip extension to explode the bar up, why the fuck do weightlifters do high bar squats instead of low bar squats?

10+ yrs ago I was taught to use 3 extension by a wonderful coach. After a season of football with bad coaching of oly lifting from high school coaches (who left me alone since I was the best) and a blown ACL, I went back to my old gym and naturally did the catapult. I snatched more weight then I EVER could before.

My coach tried to force me back into triple ext. but it slowed my ability to get under the bar.

I discovered on my own that catapult is king and I'll never go back.

@thesku11s LOL you are in no position to disagree. Nothing you just stated was even close to a logical, coherent thought. You have not coached let alone seen in person the caliber lifters I have. You stated Dimas uses a high hips then you said he triple extends, which he does not and no International coach teaches anymore. So whose the moron?

[thesku11s]

@powmongo

Im not saying they are unusually high ya dufus. But they are in the ideal deadlift position for his body type. Many lifters like Taner Sagir or McCauley's lifters in this video setup with a FORCED low hips position, so their hips rise and they backs drop after the break the weight off the floor. If you cannot see & understand this you are a moron.

@thesku11s Dimas does not set up in any deadlift position. Why? becasue he's not doing deadlifts. Snatches and cleans are very different. You stated his hips were high which they are not.

[thesku11s]

@powmongo

Dimas sets up in an ideal deadlift position. His hips look low because of his body proportions. As he rises off the ground his hips and back angle stay the same, why? Because he is in a ideal deadlift position with the bar over midfoot (fairly close to shins) on floor setup.
