Deadlift is a leg exercise.
There is a difference between the pull of oly lifts and a standard deadlift... Squats are good for your posture... |

She's right about the dead (like squatting while holding the bar).
As for squatting, like anything else, done properly it shouldn't be a problem. |

Quoted: Deadlift is a leg exercise. There is a difference between the pull of oly lifts and a standard deadlift... Squats are good for your posture... Pretty much this. Deadlift starting position may also vary some based on body geometry- mine is very low but still not below parallel. Sounds like she doesn't know what she's talking about, but did get one thing right (deadlift being a leg exercise).

Be leery of anything a fitness major or personal trainer tells you.....its all to often BS.
Squats and deads have made a tremendous improvement on my posture. Like RoG said body geometry plays a huge roll on back angle for deads....my ass is much higher than parallel. Deads use back and legs but legs SHOULD be the primary drivers. |

Same for me on the posture. Not only an improved posture, I never have back pain anymore. |

Well I know from how blown my legs are that they are a big part of dead lifting, but I get a lot more sore in the legs from squats than I do from deads. I dead lifted 280x6 for my big set today, a rep record for me, and shes telling me how I was doing it all with my back. No hon, I'm not, but part of dead lifting IS using your back. I can't remember if its in SS or 531 but one of them said it was a measure of back strength.
I'm studying to be a trainer and don't at all want to be the trainer that's a retard on basic shit like big barbell lifts. I really need to find a good coach and make sure I'm good on form. Maybe I'll road trip to Wichita Falls... |

Squatting is great for your back, assuming you know what you're doing, as you must have a strong back to squat big weights. If you want to squat big, you will make your back strong or you will fail, simple as that.

She probably only knows of high barbell placement when back squatting. Most people that don't squat heavy place the bar right on top of the traps. This can cause spinal issues...if anyone was dumb enough to squat twice their weight with that hold. :P Inform her of the low barbell hold you're probably already using. Much less spine loading and cannot harm posture in any way. In fact, back squats and deads can only improve posture. Spinal erectors hold the spine in place, and two of the best ways to work those just so happens to be back squats and deads.

Yes, very true. My statement was more towards the recreational lifter/powerlifter, not those freaks with the bodymechanics and flexability of a newborn baby and a few coaches to ensure they have absolutely impecable form, lol.

Did I get in before that tard that thinks the spinal erectors are the prime mover for the deadlift?
In all seriousness, done incorrectly squats and deads can mess you up. Start here for some good information on squats. Keep your low back safe (good solid arch) on deads and don't worry about the depth. Hell, I can nearly pull the same amount on RDL as I can conventional but you should have some good hip and leg drive to initiate the pull. |

While my experience with fellow lifters has been much different, I suppose I should know by now not to put much stock in "bro-science" and certainly know better than to repeat it.

Quoted: I wouldn't let her coach me if that is what she thinks.So this chick I'm seeing is a fitness /wellness major, and has taken it upon herself to tell me everything I'm doing wrong. She has never heard of Ripp, but she does do crossfit and does barbell training. Her two big weird points are that back squats are bad for your posture, and that dead lifts are more of a leg exercise than a back exercise. In trying to 'correct' my form she had my ass down below parallel at the beginning of my dead. Same girl only does front squats and stares almost at the ceiling while doing them. I'm actually frightened based on what her coaches seem to be telling her. Anyone got my back here? Squats are find for your posture and your deadlift should not start with your hip bellow parallel. As for whether or not the deadlift is a leg lift or a back lift is debatable. We too often, in a world dominated by body builders and men's health magazines, get fixated on what part of the body gets worked on a certain lift. The deadlift is every much of a leg lift as it is a back exercise. Obviously the moving parts involve the knee and hip joint, but the weight hangs in the arms which are held in place by the scapulae which are held in place by the upper back with the force transmitted down the vertebrae which are held in place by the spinal errectors. It's a full body lift, the main movers just happen to take place around the joints found in the lower body while the rest of the muscles contract in isolation.

I think "back squats", being the classic Olympic or powerlifting squats, are the ones you don't have to classify with a descriptor. Pretty sure if I say, "I'm squatting tomorrow", only the CrossFitters and those that CrossFit has influenced would wonder at all what kind of squats I would be performing.

You have a point, but some of us that front squat regularly for oly lifting actually differentiate from front vs. back squat because we end up front squatting more...YMMV of course. |

Can someone elaborate on when a high bar position is desired on back squat? For me low bar just seems more comfortable and i can do a bit more weight thatway, and i believe my form is better that way as well

For me low bar just seems more comfortable and i can do a bit more weight thatway, and i believe my form is better that way as well The high bar is for those who are Olympic lifters who train for cleans. The high bar squat for them is an assistance lift. Most of them will front squat instead. Unless you are big into Olympic lifting, you should omit the high bar back squat as it really adds pressure to your back and to your knees. I know some Oly lifters who won't even do high bar squats period when they can just as easily do front squats and not have to worry about getting your form all fucked up.

High bar squats are optimal for Olympic lifters. Rippetoe will argue otherwise, of course. But he's wrong. If you're just squatting to get bigger and stronger, use whatever works best for you. I squat low bar and use the high bar as an "assistance" movement, FWIW. |
