So you have been on this site for almost two years now and still haven't learned that a little bit more weight can be lifted low bar?
How much more can you squat low bar than high bar?
I have been squatting high bar and switched to low bar last workout. I thought I was squatting low bar before but was not doing it correctly (a coach pointed this out). I watched the platform video and corrected my technique.
It felt much better going below parallel with a low bar position. 110kg, my working sets, felt much easier.
So, is there typically a difference in how much can be lifted low bar?

I know it can, I just want to know what the difference is. And, if that is the case, why do people squat high bar at all?
SO MANY THREADS ON THIS TOPIC. FUCKING USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!

Srsly tho, search for the threads. But your answer is that usually your HBBS is around 80-85% of your LBBS. IF YOU WERE TO TRAIN BOTH. Obv if you only do LB then your HB will be weaker than x%. If you only do HB then your LB wont be x% higher. Then we get into the debate that LB has greater carryover to HB than vice versa.

My deadlift is at 170KG for a single which is around 2 times my BW (182lbs).
I've been puzzled why my squat has been comparatively weak. Hopefully, low bar squats will help me close the gap.
My high bar squat is now more than my best low bar squat. The earth will probably end and shit.
