Started back lifting and working out in general for the first time in 8 months (since my big move). Shouldnt have waited so long but my body got right back into it. Coming up on day 3 of lifting and I really havent lost that much strength. For the first time in years I have a reliable partner who knows what hes doing. I am feelin gooooood. Legs tonight:

How come you squat both high and low bar? Do you feel it adds anything to your training rather than choosing one?

If you want to target both anterior and posterior chain, you need to do both. A low bar wide stance squat is relying mainly on posterior chain stuff, and usually cannot be done quickly. A high bar squat is more quad dependent and you can rocket those down and out of the hole. OLY style.

Low bar will feel weird as hell until you get comfy with it. Not as easy as flexing traps and unracking
