    Squat....bar position

    so I have been squatting 3 days per week the last 4 weeks and have seen some great gains. I have recently read a few times on this board about bar position on the squat....specifically "low bar position". What does this mean. Can anyone explain the difference in "low bar position" and standard bar position. What are the benefits of one vs the other?

    To whom much is given, much is expected.

    Victory is reserved for those willing to pay its price.

    Thanks. I guess that is about where I am positioning the bar already. I was thinking "low bar" meant much lower than that. Thanks.
