Low bar squats can help develop your posterior chain, which includes your glutes, hamstrings, and back. However, high bar squats allow for a greater range of motion in your knees, hips, and ankles, which can help you maintain flexibility and strength. Some powerlifting coaches recommend using high bar squats during the off season to help your body rest and gain strength in full ranges of motion.
A low bar may help increase posterior chain development (glutes, hamstrings, and back) and express top-end strength.
Give both a try on different squat days throughout the week with appropriate load and periodization to reap the maximum benefit.
Always make sure to control your core!
