Bar placement in back squats dramatically alters which muscles carry the load.

High-bar squats sit on the traps with a more upright torso, emphasizing quads and glutes while mirroring Olympic lift mechanics.

Low-bar squats rest on the rear deltoids, tilt the torso forward, and recruit the entire posterior chain for heavy lifting.

Each style offers unique strengths and limitations—from range of motion and weight capacity to joint stresses.

Find practical tips for choosing and combining both techniques to optimize strength and performance in the full article below.

Front squats shift the barbell in front of your body, reducing spinal load and increasing core activation.

Back squats position the weight on your upper back, enabling heavier lifts for greater power and muscle growth.

Choosing the right squat depends on your training goals, mobility and individual weak points.

Front squats enhance quad strength and promote an upright posture, perfect for stability and technique work.

Back squats, in contrast, emphasize hip and glute engagement, driving explosive force and size.

Learn how these differences can optimize your program and address specific performance needs.

Full breakdown and expert insights await in the article below.
