A Quest for Strength and Beard

[mweitz]

I was having the same problem, so bad that I had to do highbar squats.

Even for HB I would grab the bar then force myself under it to get the bar in position. A week or so ago I noticed when I pushed through I was going a lot further.

Differences? Not a whole lot except for switching from treadmill to rowing machine for my 10 min warmup.

Now I do 10 min rowing machine then 15 or 20 min of shoulder / arm / triceps warmup and stretches. A 1" aluminum bar is great for stretching out the shoulders. I do a few things with it like put it in lowbar and then try to move it down the other stretch is hard to describe, I'll try to get a pic. Also putting your forearms up and stretching into a corner is good.

I've been warming up for the low bar squat for nearly two years without success. I'm no help.
