I predominantly train the lower back squat but have started to incorporate the high bar back squat since I have come to the realization my quads are horribly deficient. I was just wondering, when I place the bar in the high bar position, I find it fairly uncomfortable, I was told I need to squeeze my shoulder blades together actively for the whole lift so the bar sits on the muscle and not my spine, however even when doing this I find it somewhat uncomfortable. Will this just take some getting use to, or am I missing something? |

Feel out a weight that works for the sets/reps. |

You might be placing the bar too high. Squeeze your shoulder blades back together and place the bar in the meat of your traps - just above the tops of your shoulders. It shouldn't be on top of the traps' insertion on the neck. |

Thanks Greg i used 70lb but left i could go on longer, guess ill find out tomorrow. My low back is sore from squating yesterday, but felt fine during the work out. I failed on rep 3 of 4th set was it me or was that a lot of volume for the back squat? the more the marrier i guess. |

Hey Greg, I'm 18 years old, I've been mainly powerlifting for about three years. I've followed starting strength, a westside-oriented program, and a 5x5 program, and then finally Crossfit for about 3 months before I got tired of losing strength and saw the light. I am by no means very genetically gifted and only got up to about a 230lb High Bar BS with good but not full depth (probably about half way between parallel and all the way down) and about a 260lb deadlift with good form. I lost strength on CF so these are no longer my numbers. I can get about 200lb with full depth for 1 rep on BS now. Snatch max is only 100lbs currently, and C&J is 140.
So I came over to your site right before the beginning of the last strength cycle, which I followed. I think my form has gotten better for a newcomer to the fast lifts, but I could definitely still use improvement. I finally acquired some monetary provisions and ordered up your book earlier today. When I receive it, would you recommend finishing out this current 9 week cycle, or just go ahead and jumping into the "Beginner" cycle in your book that I've heard about. Sorry if this was an inappropriate place to post this question and too much personal info. Thank you in advance, and thanks for all the great online resources. |

When you get the book, try the intermediate program in there. Keep it simple for as long as you make gains with it. |

Row lying on bench: 85 kg
Max reps sit ups hanging in knees: 28+27 reps

Totally misunderstood the snatch pull. Too heavy and from the floor. Continuing with some tests today, messing up the programming. |
