One of the debates in the world of strength is ‘high bar vs. low bar squat – which is better?’
You need to know where to place the bar when you’re getting ready to do a set of heavy barbell squats. The squat bar position will change depending on whether you’re doing a high bar squat vs low bar squat.
So, what is the difference between low and high bar placement for squats? In a high bar squat, the bar is placed at the base of your neck. The bar is about 2 – 3 inches lower in a low-bar squat. The low bar placement is better for powerlifters, enabling you to lift more. High bar squats are better for weightlifting or bodybuilding, as they enable you to maintain a more upright position.
There’s more to it than that, though. And you’ll want to perform the right type of squat for your goal, or else you could be wasting time.
