Which TFW are you using?

Lol, third up from the last. =)

Change my vote to a split vote for Muzzie OR Cap to start the new thread.

Capsicum has better abs than I do. I vote her!
Besides, I'm shy. *blushes*

MrM, what do you think about the new 'verified' foods thing they are doing on MyFitnessPal, I know you're active on there.

It isn't very accurate. They have been removing foods from the database because people have been complaining about the accuracy. When I logged my food I never actually selected something I found in the data base unless I loomed it up and found it to be exact. If it was the slightest bit questionable I created my own entry and used that one.

MrM is currently banned. I know he still reads though. And his fans all tell him what he's missing. LOL

The threads over there are crazy..I kind of stay clear.

What's this food list you speak of?

Yup, I still read but it's mostly when someone links me to a thread, they are questioning something is being said in a thread and they want my opinion or the have a specific question.

I've been through high bar and low bar so many times. It was a very difficult decision that took me over a year to finally settle in.


The end choice was there truest and realest bar of them all, the low bar. Although now that I don't squat seriously ill probably go back to highbar.

[DannPM]

High bar / low bar is really about femur length vs total height. If you have long femurs relative to your total body length, it’s awkward as hell to do low-bar.

exaggerated example

[Galindo62]

Every squat is awkward at first. Also most geared lifters now evolved to a highbar squat. Geared as in equipped, not steroids. Of course every Olympic lifter also uses a highbar squat, regardless of their specific biomechanics.

Your body is more than willing to accommodate whichever position you pick though

Plus a highbar squat typically places more torque on the back/spine.

I def agree with what I bolded though, look at Layne Norton’s WR squat picture. He looks like the left side of the picture I posted above. He made it work though.

Also nice link, I love that site. Good read.

It's so hot and humid here today I'm crying thinking about you up in the attic.


Today was weigh in...up 1 lb....TOM is here so I was expecting a lot more since that's what usually happens but didn't. Can't explain it.

Cals still high.

Only 13-16C here today so not so hot outside, but it gets pretty hot up in the attic when it's not windy and 3 500 watts lamps are on.
Rita came up to help, lasted about 30min before she started complaining about the heat and itching from the insulation and left

Haha, yep, hard to escape a little good morning if you on long femur crew. Low bar wide stance rules the night for these folks most times.

[MrM27]

Took a 4 hour ride upstate and a 4 hour ride back to accompany my friend that was giving a 10 minute research presentation in Lake George at an American College of Emergency Physicians conference. We got there late yesterday and checkout was at 11am this morning but his presentation was at 2pm. Didn't even get to enjoy the resort at all. It was poorly planned by him. Oh well. I should have looked into it to realize we would be so close to Montreal because I would have definitely driven the extra time to visit Canada. A few pictures of the resort I didn't get to enjoy.....

[EjnarKolinkar]

Took a 4 hour ride upstate

Would sit on that pier and hand feet in water for hours.

6'5" you got long everything, so it evens out, you no understand. My femurs are 28" and I'm 70" high

[MrM27]

I'm 5'7", I barely have a femur!!!

[DannPM]

It's all relative

[DannPM]

MrM caught your pics now. Sucks you couldn't stay there longer, that place looks BEAUTIFUL!

[EjnarKolinkar]

6'5" you got long everything, so it evens out, you no understand. My femurs are 28" and I'm 70" high

You are right I am relatively proportional for my height with a longer torso, I can squat low or high bar.

Your original linked image is what I responded to. The figure on the left does not improve with a high bar position. Ankle does not have unlimited mobility, he would get forward of his COG with a high bar rack and those angles. Figure looks just like my son, my wife, and half the basketball players I know.

As for you, totally agree should do whatever you prefer. Best advice ever is to video from the side and watch the bar path.
