Bar Position:</STRONG>&nbsp; A very common mistake for athletes who squat is placing the bar too high on the shoulders.&nbsp; In fact, many athletes place the bar right on the neck.&nbsp; This hurts, so they'll use a barbell pad.&nbsp; For most athletes, this also affects proper balance for heavy squatting.&nbsp; The vast majority of athletes will squat more and squat more effectively with more comfort when the bar is placed lower on the shoulders as shown in figure 9.&nbsp; Only a very, very small percentage of athletes will be able to squat&nbsp; more effectively with a high bar placement and this is because of structural differences in bone length and tendon-muscle attachments.</P> <P align=left>Some power lifters will place the bar extremely low on the shoulders.&nbsp; Sometimes the bar may be as much as four inches from the top of the shoulders, which is against the rules.&nbsp; For some lifters, this may give a slight anatomical advantage or the advantage may be experienced because of a heavy, tight lifting suit or even lack of flexibility.&nbsp; Whatever the reason, extreme low&nbsp;bar placement squatting will detract from overall leg development which is obviously bad for an athlete.</P> <P align=left>Most athletes will be able to find a natural groove on the shoulders when they come under the bar in a proper position.&nbsp; "Don't put the bar on your neck; put it on your shoulders.&nbsp; Find a groove."&nbsp; In almost every case, if you say these technique cues, athletes will be able to have excellent bar placement during their squat.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>C. Taking the Bar off the Rack:</STRONG>&nbsp; I've seen high school athletes get all psyched to squat and get their shoulders 2-3 inches under the bar.&nbsp; Then, with an explosive movement, jam their shoulders against the bar.&nbsp; Well, jamming your shoulders against a steel bar from this 2-3 inch space will cause the athlete to bruise his neck or shoulders.&nbsp; Besides hurting, it is unlikely the athlete will have the bar placed on his shoulders correctly.</P> <P align=left>On the other end of the spectrum, I've seen athletes wimp a bar off the rack.&nbsp; Many times this athlete will not be in a good solid squatting position as he backs up to a ready stance.</P> <P align=left>A far superior way is to come under the bar in a great solid proper power position, making sure everything is correct.&nbsp; Get the bar in the groove on your shoulders.&nbsp; Look straight ahead.&nbsp; Spread the chest.&nbsp;Get in your athletic stance. Now, this next technique point is most critical.&nbsp; Get your athletic stance directly under the bar.&nbsp; Many athletes will stand&nbsp;a foot back and lean forward.&nbsp; This is asking for tro}lݍ^ȗx%@W K^\|c%ZHyF~^$#&ѩ䣀װf|B{Ok|TƻcB",( wh{VLh ۵ݭG XSYkpi $5OԵi[c|-#?vX\L>Q5YRJ 7a#фkī8H.&WdȪI$[~HwSm(Ȁib^}tUTܰ"mj8 ' #fn[',0G·"⡗ӕ҄Y/؞iEPn55+\ %ږջ[1nD)fgqf QUSk(:qTzN҆ %RirW"ty޺˃-$c4C+]5&-﬋Ja-J۹Zդz#}XGei &%)O?͍6;uT9\bgYźT_PX1/bV2AFVG` n6[Z@Lts")L!z˲<%ǔC.v+O>N<2g<"j>vۋ;oIIL cͻ x븯_=ۇv3f aĚ*|ƽ1Xƚ6A[^A61~jQbrD{\HuxiRHȑF,}?z dSk+MgVZƧlޅU D__d_]?Cᔑl@xʇg3m'i]BA}5$jRൺ2=_a~L)0u,fG]bA][ݯ$+D䮠moOĴsa9iJckh ^5a|  r5dxɋ3P."E2Gu* c1'g3:L1rds ޶5Ұ.<Ǎ<ٚOnyZKz䴕[j )$_cjo۵6b5-s ͱ4즆eY!qpHV^~.s(F?JtmԁehϗO lE K{/]c)ey= K<1ΏLnw ˫o-0fʴv74$\;L6|t*.;*Q%h#2q} z!ܮX d}H{,hRm*剅+ 2O؟_7BN>FGm"8KXưi]'^cO>v9b/a2ADz ˃H X V{1F֐w*C# i|)NaSHaW|\h(`; V81^e!׽KCU1o"أ-ʇhQ@]@QZQ{+Hᙨ:2pZ2~!‚pvC-F|>jiPDثGI.Ž77ƵJ 20#Z(|U;k 08ۅ` ;.}?iqJ15唉??@:m-x`br7DG0S"jMC*CXXԽ5goWi! b?Xj(7&fFcopңi?[FO,X_C rZ] E\»QnH*FA%?S,;|m$2QZuIfGm _ 9#ʃ:t~,qX h}lwX67 8~R*5Z$Ud92thHbydL`Kmd:J祳xՉ4oR6e}VpנʄON$ږ'ƕLjT l;eOYb8^7YU4IJśl}0Nz~T;+}Z+D!' sU}wQe'Ԥ3 xƬX i!ڳ0Os XveG7;*Cɤ .;V#ԯ7IN`6uس6$cC(8k *B[V6|Pv0Q™6 m0 a$5&m8rӕX]N+Xsyh6x= qXGIGC*ϏBEsc MDH ,=N}ԘȳQeՍgga]$c;u V Ǎ7V-o:ے$e9-6ӡ;pH_en[F֕[2 /4Gr)q7gZ~~Q Feþסsg}mLZȑ3Z}YI3k ajƲƯƂ5xP&cWu=ƩZHj#⩺.w}ppvn\P _q `fSJb̞a\|KCm_F8( 6QXVՎ>D +5{&RN((tK1bsf̞Y޻oZbs/ SVlIV}`1 WrcagAƷ?ͯH% r4rpJh$- ޢ>ߟi2lި wjqp;$ks{~I:S/XH4,˥q"ݹu!Dy<ʼÔjlmVU&:l(1ɽk mvmc5(4=8 !W+_eU.@93Mӷ[~kd[QwaW0υ+jnW0h]Xʛo:IWKRcY[N*=)HSv8Gk5ƗF+]< X2|i}%ԬqscuԠxM24SDGScOeӷ$I*uYcb[z:Mqi ȫ7JڰίevSIʁ95% ,esܞ5Eк[=.\2ҷ\}#"M7%Yieln)Wl׋pUN*/f~4@C~"v XR?זdIQ}6"pjy=&aKvV(kV24jgC +k yUĒ_NfcW1ҖA؅e
