    I put the bar diagonally across my back so that one side is high bar and the other side is low bar. That way I don't miss out on any gains.

    the information from older vids has slightly different goals, and benefits, the starting strength style of squat has so me great benefits, and some negatives, (like any squat, or movement that emphasizes certain benefits, enhances certain spectrums of performance etc.,), On a side note starting strength can be extremely dogmatic lol

    Well I don't know if anyone is interested, but I've switched from high bar to low bar almost 1 year ago after seeing this video too. My problem tho was the fact that I just couldn't stay anymore upright as the weight got heavier and my hip flexors felt always so tight on the high bar squat. So after my switch I was able to keep my back more upright as you already starting in a kinda slight-bend position and my hipflexor felt way better. In the beginning I had to get used to the bar placement in my back but you will get slowly used to it.

    Hey man, thank you for the extremely well thought out and concise videos Each time I get under the bar I watch you or Starting Strength and find something I need to focus on each time to get it right. I hit 225 for 3x5 today, most I ever had on the bar, 2 months ago I was sticking on 185 and barely squeezing out 3 sets of whatever. Gotta love progress however small. Congratulations on the certification, love seeing people put in the honest hard work and come out on top!

    Before I started low bar squatting I ran into so many dead ends with my squat, stopping short of parallel being the main one, but as the weight slowly increased I noticed more and more issues with my sciatic nerve and weakening of the IT band. Probably 6 months ago, maybe 9 at this stage I converted over to low bars and I haven't been able to go back since. My squat has comfortably doubled and I finish every leg day 99% ache free. I tried high bar again last week and found the bar just rolling into the low bar position, I feel its the universe telling me I was destined to low bar squat. Thanks Alan, if it wasn't for you I'd still be squatting 80kilo in agony going ass to the grass and have no real progress to speak of.

    Alan, thank you. For me, reading the starting strength books are like taking sleeping pills after drinking a 6 pack of beer. Just a small tweak in foot and hand placement that you highlighted in this video allowed me to do a very easy 10 reps with a weight I struggled with for 5 reps for the last month.

    Yeah, I find it difficult to watch his videos since his move to starting strength philosophies. It is like when somebody claims to have found religion and completely changes, and does things in pretty much the opposite of how they used to. There are plenty of Riptoe and his crews videos out there, we don't really need more SS based squat videos. But hope it works out for Alan, will be interesting to see the impact this style has on his Strongman stuff.

    Great video man, probably the most "in depth" squat video out there. I do slightly disagree on chosing the low bar squat for the reason that the high bar is closest to the purest squat pattern and the fact that it places more emphasis on the quads and less on the low back makes it a better complement for GENERAL strength development than the low bar considering that we all perform deadlift, that is the purest way to train the bent pattern. Great stuff Alan, keep it up!

    Hip structure affects all squatting. More hip dominate squats like low bar will likely disagree with you. If you are all legs though like me, Front squats and HB back squats are bother the knees at times too. That is why finding the inbetween tend to be the best fit for most people.

    There's a lot of rhetoric here. I low-bar squat and front squat but never high-bar squat, though no movement is superior - it depends on the athlete's goals and build. Also, Hip Thrust is far superior exercise to train the extensors.

    Great video Alan! Gotta love the trolls.. If you can squat ATG without shearing your knees and flexing your spine CONGRATULATIONS!!! Do it! What Alan is laying out here is a proven technique that carries over well for the majority of novice, no fuck that, all lifters... Bubba Watson is one of the longest drivers in PGA history, but his swing is jacked, if I swung like Bubba, it would not work!! Sure, there are guys high bar squatting 700lbs, this video is not for them. If you ever tune into Matt Wenning (if you haven't, you should).. you'd know the majority of people are weak as fuck; the technique laid out here will help make them stronger, but noone is claiming it's the only way. End Rant. Thanks Alan and welcome back!

    The problem is , is that some people do think this is the only way, due to starting strength's dogmatic attitude, I love and agree with many/ most of rippetoes ideas for lifting/ lifters, but that doesn't mean that they are the most effective for everyone, and that's what starting strength and its followers sometimes state, that it is the most effective way for everyone

    You're right to point this discrepancy out. For beginners doing low bar squat, it's good advice not to let your knees go forward. But it's not really because of injury, it's because that's how you get the correct hip drive. If you have healthy patellar tendons and quads, and otherwise have good squat form, you are not likely to have problems due to forward knee travel. In fact, forward knees can be desirable if you are trying to develop your quads--for example for Olympic weightlifters. For some reason SS approach to squats is all about minimizing quad involvement.

    When you do hear about injuries from Olympic lifters, it's usually not the squat that's doing it. It's the sudden impact from catching cleans and jerks that really gets you. FWIW I had a patellar tendon graft for my ACL surgery, meaning I had 1/3 of my tendon removed (much of it has grown back since then, but it's not what it used to be). ATG squats don't bother it, even front squats with a lot of forward knee travel. So claiming that these exercises put your knee at risk seems really alarmist. On the other hand, jerks--both the dip and the catch--can sometimes bother my patellar tendon. Clarence Kennedy had a patellar tendon injury and wrote quite a bit about it here, and I think it's consistent with my experience as well: www.allthingsgym.com/clarence-kennedy-interview-2015/ A few quotes: "Back Squats actually put the least amount of strain on my knees and helped a lot with rehab." (he squats ATG of course) "I have to avoid doing power variations and Jerks as its at this angle of the squat that hurts the most. I completely dropped doing Power Cleans...The dip of the Jerk is the most painful movement for my knees"

I always struggled with getting the form right and ended up puttting the excercise, since i have pretty long legs, but now i know i can do it properly.
