i thought people were taught to look up so you wouldn't be incline to round your back once weight startign to get heavy on you..atleast thats what i learned when watch the video on "So you think you can squat"

@Draykid Okay, my bad. I thought you were commenting on squats in general and didn't realize you were making this a High vs. Low argument. If you aspire to be an Olympic lifter, high bar is obviously the way to go. Pendlay has it right, there. Practicing low bar doesn't improve strength needed to do high bar lifts, but high bar practice does help in strength for low bar lifts, according to Pendlay. But we're watching low bar coaching and the comment was about knees. Not which is better.

@PorkChamber

Uhhh, are you retarded? Pendlay has his guys do Olympic style squats- squats which are quad-dominant in nature, with a lot more knee flexion than hip flexion. In other words, Riptoad has people do LOW BAR squats, and Pendlay has his guys do HIGH BAR squats. In other words, you seem to have completely and totally missed the point of my comment. Which, in case you don't know by now (seems likely), is that Pendlay would seem to fundamentally disagree with you.

[PorkChamber]

@Draykid Show me where Pendlay says you shouldn't do squats and your comment will make sense. In the Pendlay 5x5 for beginners, he schedules squats on days 1 and 3. Were you just trolling Rippetoe vids to tell us all about your hard-on for Pendlay?

@B2theYBroWny same, i think it might be weaker upper back/traps to legs...

[Draykid]

@PorkChamber

Tell that to Glenn Pendlay. Oh yeah, Pendlay's produced more successful lifters than Rippetoe ever will.

he is not getting his chest up, is he?

watching the "fixed" squats hurts my back just to watch
