Low-Bar Back Squat
Low Bar Squat · Powerlifting Squat
Barbell Free weights
The low-bar back squat carries the bar lower across the rear delts, creating more hip flexion and forward torso lean. This shifts emphasis toward the glutes, hamstrings, adductors, and erector spinae, making it the favored powerlifting squat for moving heavy loads. Sit back into the hips, keep the bar over mid-foot, and brace hard against the forward lean.
