I have not attended a strongfirst barbell cert yet, although its on my list of things to do, but I was wondering how the back squat is taught. This mostly relates to bar positioning, and if the hips driven (rippetoe style) or if it is more of a high bar olympic style ( squatting straight down between the legs). I squat low bar, just breaking parallel as squatting this way won't allow much more depth. If it's a question of application, I am a novice powerlifter, looking to get stronger, but also remain functionally strong for every day activities and hobbies (surfing and hiking mostly). And besides how it is taught here, any opinions and experiences shared would be appreciated. Thanks.
