High bar Squat vs low bar squat

Low bar squat vs high bar squat. Which one is better? This comes down to your sport, body structure, & your goals.
.
If you're into Olympic Weightlifting, then high bar is ideal. This is due to the direct carry over to the deep catch positions in Olympic Weightlifting.
.
For powerlifting, low bar may yield greater load potential. However, this is only if you're built for low bar. Also if you can get comfortable in the low bar position. The same could be said for high bar. Some people don't feel comfortable having the bar high on their upper back.
.
If you have a long torso & short femurs, high bar can usually favor you. You also have the luxury to potentially do low bar. For most people who have a short torso & long femurs, low bar is usually better. This is because you'll be able to get a full range of motion easier this way.
.
That said, so long as both feel comfortable on your body, you can alternate between both variations. This way you can get the unique benefits that come from doing both 💯
