Bro, how much can you squat? Maybe you can post up a tutorial video for all us new lifters.
Do you compete in Olympic lifting?

For you to figure out
None taken, your original post seemed abrasive.Originally posted by Milk2%
I'm sorry didn't mean to offend in anyway I just saw you weren't going all the way down. A strong muscle is a long relaxed muscle, ditch that low bar cause powerlifting is almost as dumb as cross fit.
Stick highbar and get full depth, suggest working lighter weight and making sure you get 100% depth before hammering more weight.
You'll get much stronger once you notice your past parallel and you start using glutes and hams way more. Squatting is a natural position
foam rolling is a joke I haven't bought into it. I'll do it when I'm around chicks.
Most important next to the lifting and proper form is proper warm ups. Dynamic stretching
Small amount of static stretching
5-10 mins on the bike and a really good bar warm up
Cool down on bike 5-10. try and flush lactic build ups out
Anyhow, I have been switching back and forth, between high and low bar, along with plenty of front squats, I will disagree on the powerlifting comment but that's neither here nor there.
The roller I currently use is a PVC pipe or a dough roller, I do find it aids in recovery and I do find a lot less lactic acid build up in the following days post lifting.
Totally agree on your warmup tips, anything you can do to get your CNS prepared for the workout is key.
I'm roughly spending 20-30 min on my warmup/stretching before I walk in front of a bar

Did you wrap it in atheltic or hockey tape, helps keep it from sliding around.Originally posted by shadowz

But seriously low bar has alot of benefits to
High bar
Quad/Glute dominate
Low bar
Glute/Hip Dominate
If your not training for looks and want all performance id take low bar anyday

He is obvioulsy too busy touring with Klokov to respond with anything constructive.
Wow, I can't even ATG body weight low bar technique without compromising my lower back let alone having a bb on my back. I'm no scientist, but it's physiologically impossible to get your ATG without rounding out while in a low bar position.
Once your hips drop below your knees they rotate inwards towards your torso. Hence why a high bar you can get ATG while maintaining spine angle because you're more vertical.
Milk2% I challenge you to find me a low bar vid or pic going ATG or significantly lower then parallel while maintaining good technique.

My understanding is low-bar parallel squats are used to demonstrate a feat of strength, and that high-bar ATG squats are used to maximize the amount of muscle fibers recruited and are superior for improving athletic performance.
Also, here is an example of low-bar below parallel/ATG squats:

Regardless of all this - 2%milk's arrogance and condescending posts are unwarranted.

First youtube hit
He is hitting parallel like the picture they posted. Thats not atg like you hit with high bar or front squats just saying. Looks like a normal squat to me

There's a reason Olympic lifting is in the Olympics.
Squatting is a natural body position. Given you do something other then sit on a couch, or a chair for long periods of time you should have no problem getting use to a ATG squat (hi bar for you lovers that like to classify things)
And Zipdoa is absolutely correct, its a function of what you want your end result to be.
I'm an advocate if you can't already tell to anything related to Olympic Lifts, its the most functional and rewarding exercises you can do for your body.
I never said anything bad with a low bar style technique I just pointed out that it was being done incorrectly.
High bar is harder for a reason, the more muscle recruitment the better in gaining muscle mass.
Noted. I raise you this:
Psalm 144(1): Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
IMHO that wasn't a true lowbar squat. that was more of a hybrid squat placing the bar on delts and squatting ATG.
Please use this as a better reference

Even though the first video you found was one of the first results I found too
