Problem is there's always 2 schools of thought when it comes to this: 1) strict everything, proper alignment, movement checklist & 2) a person's body is different as compared to other so we should allow a bit of leeway when it comes to form. Personally, I'd rather go with the 2nd. And to add to what the guy said above, research suggests not just the meniscus but also ACL and other ligaments are thicker in weightlifters, though I'm not sure whether those are olympic-level.

They weren't even hitting legal depth in powerlifting. The rules are clear that the crease in the leg and hip has to be below the top of the knee. The olympic squat is to train a part of the clean and jerk or snatch whereby the futher deeper they can get, then the less high the bar has to be cleaned or snatched for the first part of the movement.

+Leandro Augusto Olympic high bar ATG squats do not require dna/genetics lol..any sport related to physical performance is enhanced with strong genetics. That doesn't mean you can't train with shitty genetics and not perform the high bar squat used in Olympic lifting. Hard work beats genetics any day and yes, I agree that Olympic weightlifting requires more hard work than any strength required sport. Not just physically, but mentally as well with the technique involved. These guys you see doing the Olympic high bar squats in the video have all been training for decades before this footage was even taken.

For those who don't understand. In proper federations these squats would be red lighted into oblivion. But even then, powerlifters don't go as deep as weightlifters. The main reason is the fact that powerlifters mostly employ lowbar position (the barbell rests on your lower delts). This position pushes your back and knees forward,( to make sure the center of gravity goes through middlefoot). Going ATG with this position is both dangerous and physiologically impossible for most of the population due to lack of enough ankle mobility. But at the end of the day lowbar WILL allow you to move more weight due to extra employment of lower back and hamstrings. Highbar position which is the one that WL use allow you to keep your torso vertical which is what's needed for snatch and clean and jerk. WL don't have use for lowbar even though lowbar would allow them to squat more.

For anyone reading this today: this is not true. I can ATG low bar and high bar. It's not dangerous and it feels genuinely comfortable. Western people like to act like deep squats are not physically possible when lots of the world manages to rest in that position.

There are 8 billion people on Earth and you are ONE of them. I can't squat ass to grass lowbar, there is no way in hell. Also there is no actual reason to go ATG if your primary goal is strength and not power and mobility, which is what highbar and ATG is for. Check your information first before you comment again.

Only part I see wrong here is your knees don't go forward in low bar. High bar is more Quads and results in more need flexion, low bar is more back and doesn't have as much knee flexion. Watch a high bar lift vs a low bar lift from the side. You lean more forward yes, but knees do not go forward, they actually stay further back. And I also can comfortably go deeper with low bar. Because since my knees don't go further out, my ankle mobility isn't as restrictive.

@@mirkomarjanovic3234 you just need to train mobility. It's not impossible. Every single olympic lifter who has trained mobility can do it. It's an incredibly lazy and demotivating stance to think that just because YOU can't be bothered training mobility, everyone else shouldn't give it a go as well.

I like how the olympic lifters just look like they drank some coffee looaded the bar then squatted. Very powerful yet so eloquent

The classical music is what takes this video over the top lol

the champions league anthem, a man of good taste 😏

I've always done squats Olympic style. Fairly close stance and I sit right down with it. Not very heavy weight to be honest but full range of motion for sure. I've literally had someone come up to me after finishing a set and ask "those look really good what do you call that?" And I was just doing squats.... Focus on your damn form people, leave your ego elsewhere!

0:38 insane core stiffening.

Even powerlifters hate these “squats”

I was wondering why I am so comfortable in depth squat (am i wrong ?) But this video motivated me to continue thanks 🙏

Once you start squatting high bar ATG like an olympic lifter you just can't take low bar seriously.

Fuck off dumbass. Low bar squats build total body strength. If you put a person through a program that uses low bar squats vs putting high bar squat, the person doing low bar squats will build more overall strength. Pro olympic lifters vs pro powerlifters are doing very different things however. One is based on explosiveness and other really huge weights moving at a slow rate. YOU ARE (most likely) NOT A FUCKING PRO LIFTER. So it won't matter. Do low bar squats if you want functional strength. Do high bar if you want to become a pro olympic lifter (or an amateur weightlifter if you simply like the challenge of doing cleans, snatch etc) or as an assistance exercise for low bar. Stop pretending you high bar squat a million times more than average low bar squatters or are somehow "technically" better. You don't and you aren't. You're absolutely braindead if you think high bar squats are objectively better than low bar squats.

@@Zipped_in high bar is a LOT more useful for athleticism than low bar simply because it builds your quads wayyyy more and because it mimics positions in sports a lot more than low bar. A high bar squat angled forward is more or less a sprint stance for example, low bar has no real positional carryover to anything. It lets you lift a little more absolute weight most of the time but overall unless you're powerlifting high bar is better for everything else
