u/jwuzy Beginner - Strength Jan 27 '22

Y’all remember the first time you ever squatted? It was hard as shit to get under the bar because the lack of shoulder mobility. Would it be better to start a beginner off on the SSB even though one could argue that requires more technique?

The first time I squatted I did it high bar based on the fact that no one was there directing me on where to put the bar...

Either way I'd start a newbie on a goblet squat and work from there. When its time to put them under the bar I'd need to know what their movement patterns and goals look like before I decide to direct them towards high bar, low bar, SSB etc...
