The real moral elite front squat. The lighter weights keep you humble and you're constantly being choked to repent for some other thing you probably did.

If you nuts are not leaving a sweat mark on the gym floor, was it really low enough?

I also feel morally superior when I do chinups. I always hang loose at the bottom, then pull my chest all the way up to the bar and pause for a moment to look down on all the dirtbags in the gym.

And most importantly, high bar ATG squats make up for the sin of pulling sumo. Nobody is perfect 😔

In the chase for the highest level of moral superiority, I've only done clean-grip paused overhead squats for the past several years. I haven't added weight to the bar in this time (atrophy to increase ROM) but my meditation during the pause more than makes up for it.

I had a friend who struggled with a nasty low bar habit for years. We’ve intervened and he’s since been living a clean, high bar lifestyle. Who knows where he’d be if we weren’t there to pull him out of that dark situation. Mad respect to anyone who turns their life around and stops low bar. Most aren’t so lucky…

I like ATG High bar Squats, in fact I love them, i just don't want them in my house.

I've recently stopped doing low bar squats in favour of high bar ATG and there are so many benefits (for me at least). First of all, low bar squats have a higher systemic fatigue burden than high bar. Me personally (due to being tall and thus having longer femurs relative to my torso) I have to bend over quite a lot in the low bar to hit good depth which puts a lot of levarage onto my lower back. Having switched to high bar, I can comfortably squat twice per week without getting debilitating lower back pain/DOMS or feeling completely zapped neurologically. I can recover more quickly between sets so my workouts dont take so long - I can recover faster between sessions without compromising my other upper body and deadlift days - and I dont need to deload as regularly.

It has taken me a while to get used to high bar as I've stuck to low bar for nearly 10 years now. Getting comfortable with the bar position and getting a solid brace took a few weeks practice. but now I've adjusted I actually enjoy squatting even more than I used to. The only downside is that my ego has taken a hit. I've lost around 1 plate per side for all my rep maxes. But for me, high bar is now superior. If I ever wanted to compete, then naturally I'd use low bar, but otherwise for me there is no point.

as someone with knee issues (OSD for those who know what it is) i use low bar and it helps take a lot of stress off of my knees

I've always been a high bar supremacist. It's just prettier.

Finally the moral character of high-bar squatters is being recognized. Now regarding deadlifts and moral charcter... lets just say sumo pullers are sweating rn

Personally I balance the bar on top of my head to ensure the squat is the highest possible. This also ensures the weight loads directly down the spine, reducing back injury.

As far as I know, im the only person to do this, and thus the only person not cheating. Ergo, by default I am the world record holder for the ‘true high bar squat’.
