Fantastic squatting, it make my efforts seem pathetic, just a quick question on your squatting reps. Do you only do singles, or do you drop reps like a pyramid scheme?

[BROZKNOWS]

@chriswilson1974 we do both max single and reps, though not in a pyramid fashion

4 months off oly lifting or 4 months off lifting-due to injuries I'm assuming-? That is ridiculous if he hit pr after that long so quickly he could hit some huge squats numbers soon.

[BROZKNOWS]

@desembodic 4 months off from training - because of work and school. No injuries.

[itsarecession]

does he ever do the oly lifts?

[BROZKNOWS]

@itsarecession not any longer. His left wrist is fused.

@zodawg0079 From a sign hanging in our gym:

"Winners find a way, Losers say there is no way" - an unknown winner

@Bsure12345 Start with this:

every time you think of wanting to be big or strong, go do 10 sets of squats.

[TreeSmoke1999]

Coach Broz what type of routine is Jacobi doing? You mentioned daily training, would this be squat daily and deadlift and bench every other day?

Great squatting glad JJ is back!

[BirdsEyeV1ew]

Do you always have your lifters squat completely raw? (i.e. no belts) If so I'm curious as to what your reasoning is?

[EndlersaurusRex]

@rogue8853 I don't know the mechanics behind it, but I think Broz did say somewhere that low bar is more difficult to do every day because it strains the body differently/more.

[rogue8853]

i still dont know how having the bar 1-2 inches lower and leaning slightly more forward is drastically different then the high bar squat when it comes to squatting daily. is it that more straining on the body? is broz basically saying hes having JJ squat high bar, just not as low bc of flexility issues? im part of a few active forums and alot of people are curious about brozs thoughts on these things so thats why im asking the source.

[rogue8853]

@EndlersaurusRex i guess it depends on the defintion of high vs low. i dont know any powerlifter that puts the bar across his shoulder blades. most of us put it on the scapula. some put the bar higher like vashon in his videos. but yes in his other videos hes squatting with the bar high. its confusing bc i asked long ago if his high carried over to his low and broz said no. he might have misunderstood me. JJ seems to lean forward and sit back more which looks like a PL squat

[EndlersaurusRex]

@rogue8853 If you've seen JJ in his competition videos, he does high bar.

[rogue8853]

@RandomStevie yeah i saw that. if broz says is high bar then i guess its high bar. i have 2 videos up of high bar vs low bar and theyre terrible examples since im not much of a high bar. but id be very surpised if he conisidered this a high bar and was training a PL in a high bar squat....
