High Bar vs Low Bar Squat
High Bar Squat
- • Bar sits on traps, near neck
- • More upright torso position
- • Greater quad emphasis
- • Better for Olympic lifting transfer
- • Requires good ankle mobility
- • Generally more comfortable
Low Bar Squat
- • Bar sits on rear delts
- • More forward lean (hip hinge)
- • Greater posterior chain emphasis
- • Typically allows more weight
- • More hip mobility needed
- • Preferred in powerlifting
Common Squat Mistakes & Fixes
Butt Wink
Pelvis tucks under at bottom. Fix: Work hip mobility, limit depth temporarily, strengthen core.
Knee Cave
Knees collapse inward. Fix: Cue "spread the floor," strengthen glutes, use bands.
Forward Lean
Excessive torso forward. Fix: Front squats, strengthen upper back, improve thoracic mobility.
Heels Rising
Heels come off ground. Fix: Squat shoes, ankle mobility work, wider stance.
