I am a senior in highschool and I have been lifting for 5 years. I did highbar squat until sophomore year and the best I could get was 205 at the time, while weighing 119. It would always hurt the bone on the neck. I then found about low bar squat, and I mean when people say it should only be like a 10% increase, Id think they are lying. Within a a few months, my squat increased to 300 at 130lbs. Now I squat 345 at 145lbs.
I play soccer and I do track, my main focus is speed on the pitch. I am starting to get wrist pain from the low bar, I am going to try to adjust my grip and put my thumbs over the bar. I don't know if I should revert back to high bar, as I have read that it is more suitable for athletes. While low bar is more suited for powerlifters. Low bar was far more comfortable, even with the wrist pain in my opinion. I could also just do low bar squat and do high bar squat as an accessory.
What do you guys think?
