Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: low bar squat vs high bar squat

not going to argue which one is better because i never really spent time to get comfortable with low bar style.
about knee travel on full squats.. if flexibility allows (good form maintained).. hell go for it.. putting stress on the knees makes it adapt and it gets stronger. i had ZERO knee issues even with low to mid 30s jump repetitive rim jumps at a BW of 190s. i have vids in my channel showing those 30s jumps done consecutively.

why i prefer doing the olys? because it feels right. im comfortable doing it. most of the time, your body is smarter than you. it tells you what feels right and what doesn't.. listen to it.
see how happy i am sitting down with a loaded bar
