    Front Squats + Power Cleans = Knee & Wrist Pain

    On 30th December, I switched to front squats due to my core being very weak and impacting on my back squat form. From the beginning, I have had sore knees. Well, sometimes just a dull ache, sometimes a bit sorer, and sometimes to the stage that I have to brace myself to stand up from the...

    Shoes for squats, deads etc

    What shoes should I wear? I'm currently just wearing my runners but I would think that stability might be an issue. What shoes should I buy for lifting? Preferably cheap

    Charles Poliquin on squats

    The appeal of such a heavy-duty exhibition of ego is at least partially responsible for the fact that many weight trainees choose almost any leg exercise over the squat. After all, hoisting a ton on the leg press is far more impressive than a measly 300-pound deep knee bend. But anyone who has...

    high bar/low bar squats?

    I've just noticed that i've been doing high bar squats since I started legs and I've only been doing only 80kg of 8-10 reps but when I tried low bar squats I figured I could do 110kg at 8-10 reps aswell. Should I stick to my high bar? or should I do low bar to keep pushing the heavier weights?

    High bar squats?

    Hi, I know for low bar squats you should initiate the movement with the hips, as if sitting on the toilet. But what about high bar squats? Do I still initiate the movement with the hips? Thanks
