« on: February 17, 2013, 08:42:06 am »wait a while. I'll make a video how I'm doing this. unfortunately my thera band is destroyed so I'll figoured out something
there it is. It's poor quality but you know about what move I'm talking about. I'm doing this in 4 series / 30 repetition per series

But that's pretty much a hip flexor exercise since the knee angle is held the same... I don't get how that is anyway related to the VMO?

Nah but seriously... this year's NBA dunk contest sucked again... Gerald Green with a 45 inch vert decided to do a dunk that a guy with a 24 inch vert could do.

Huh? How is that even possible? I don't get it. I mean I'd get it from a 200 kg bar but from an empty bar? wtf...

Well as far as I'm concerned, when I low bar squat I can maintain a more vertical shin angle (it still travels forward, but not as much as in a high bar squat) and the knee suffers less. That's why I can squat low bar and I can't high bar. When I squat high bar that thing that moves in my knee, in the lateral "hole" of my right knee, when I get to about 20 degrees of flexion, starts to do some damage. Damage that can be avoided by squatting low bar.
It might be that my hip (and not only hip) flexibility sucks so bad that I really really load the knee and the quads when I high bar squat. For example, I couldn't even do a empty barbell overhead squat IN OLYMPIC LIFTING SHOES today. Granted, with a pretty narrow stance but still. I was able to do them with good form using a 10 kg bar though.
Not to mention front squats... with an empty barbell and o-lifting shoes on, the bar doesn't even touch my chest, let alone sit on the shoulders. It sits entirely in the hands, with elbows pointed down. There's no way to make it sit on the chest (don't even mention a proper rack position) unless I increase the weight so the weight of the bar presses on my hands more. Otherwise... no chance, no matter what grip I choose.
So there are a ton of inflexbilities there.

I think Lance posted some time ago a low bar squat style that he deemed as very useful for athleticism (and then put in a comparison with a "bad" squat as in a squatmorning).
What I think is an interesting debate is choosing between a low weight high bar squat vs a heavy weight low bar squat, where the difference is very high (like for me - 100 kg high bar is very hard, to the same level as a 130 kg low bar squat would be). The question in that scenario is if the squat is hard due to lack of muscle in the right places (lack of quad strength) or due to lack of movement efficiency in one of the squatting styles/structure (in the high bar in my case).

Well in my case... going for a leg driven low bar squat vs a leg driven high bar squat could mean the difference between knee pain and lack of knee pain.
You know it's weird but when I did the high bar squats 2 days ago, the HAMSTRINGS (off all muscles) were kinda locking up. Really, really weird stuff to happen in a high bar squat. Maybe I was doing high bar squats with a low bar squat form (it felt that way).

Yeah, it kinda does. My form on high bar is horrible but I guess there's more quad into it. THESE QUADS JUST DON'T GROW WITH LOW BAR SQUATS.........231444444444443222t5tagknraklgnnn
That's why I tried high bar squats in the first place.
