Resorting to name calling is usually the method of those who have limited command of the language and an inability to properly debate a point. [/quote]
Which is probably why you called me a smart ass and said I was "“butt hurt”.
Why don’t you “illuminate me” by explaining why the video that I posted (from Greg Nuckols’ squat guide) is not acceptable in a powerlifting meet? A squat is a squat so long as it meets the standards of the federation you are competing in. As far as high bar vs. low bar squats, Nuckols has a couple of articles on the topic, maybe you should check them out. Here’s a quote that pretty much sums up the argument:
“There are few arguments in the strength world more common than high bar versus low bar squats; therefore, you can probably assume prior to knowing anything more about the subject that there are few arguments more pointless.
Just to make my opinion known before diving in (if you can’t guess it already): It really doesn’t matter.”
It’s worth mentioning that Bryce Lewis, who holds the 105kg raw total record in the IPF, squats high bar. But maybe he isn’t really a powerlifter after all.
