High Bar & Low Bar Squat

In high bar squat, you place the barbell on top of your shoulders just below the C-7 vertebrae (the base of your neck).  This encourages a more upright torso position. You will engage your traps to create a 'shelf' for the bar.  It recruits the anterior muscles more than the posterior chain. Inhale as you extend your muscles and exhale when you contract them during the movement.

Remember to focus on maintaining good posture, keeping your chest up and driving through your heels.
