Whole bunch of 3 rep max back squat PR’s and cowbell today! We will test our 1RM very soon hint, hint.
Our emphasis has lately been on the high bar back squat position as this translates across to the receiving position of the Oly lifts (clean and snatch) vs. the low bar position and typically feels easier or more natural to learn and get to full depth. The low bar recruits the hamstrings and posterior chain more and usually allows for squatting more weight but can be more difficult and nuanced to learn.
