Question: what is the difference between low bar and high bar squat?
Answer: A low-bar squat uses the posterior chain a bit more (that's the back of the body — hamstrings, glutes, lower back) than a high-bar position. ... On the flipside, a high-bar squat fires the quads a bit more, with less reliance on the hamstrings. But if you really like one over the other, not to worry.
