I thought that i switch to high bar only temporarily, now my shoulders are already fine and flexibility is also much better (i do regularly shoulder dislocations), but i still hesitate to move back to low bar. It is good thing if you can do heavy presses and cleans after heavy squatting.
    Flexibility shouldn't be a problem. I've been doing low bar for months. I'm not hostile to high bar, and I'm considering alternating them with LB in the future.

    Sorry I haven't been posting. Had a couple more shitty workouts and partially tweaked my back after my last post. Took a week off.

    Squats - Deloaded to 235. Did 4, 4, and 5 reps. I think I've finally got decent form that includes hip drive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOhFasp4SgQ

    Bench - 185 for 5, 5, and 5 reps. Felt easy. Used more leg drive.

    Deadlift - My back complained during warm-up sets, so I did some weighted back extensions instead to get blood in the area.

    I'm going to be switching my program to where I'll squat, bench, and alternate deads/power cleans in workout A and squat, press, chin, and back extend in workout B.
