High Bar Squat 1. The quadriceps (front thigh) and glutes are stimulated evenly, which is beneficial for increasing muscle mass. 2. You need to keep your upper body more upright, which greatly enhances core muscle strength. 3. The entry barrier is lower compared to low bar squats, and there is relatively less strain on the lower back -> improvement in sustainability. High Bar Squat Exercise Method and Precautions 1. Place the barbell above the trapezius, with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width. 2. Keep your upper body straight and maintain the direction of your knees and toes. 3. Push your hips back and slowly sit down until your thighs are parallel, then stop. 4. Firm up your core and push off the ground with your entire foot to rise.
