High bar vs low bar squat reddit

I get it. I put on my fav glitter lip gloss.

You have really pretty eyes ???

I wear it, it's who I am...If it makes me feel good, I don't care what others think. :)

No to kg ?

I like looking cute at the gym but that doesn't mean I don't kill it.

Love the weights in kilos ?? great video as usual, so inspiring ❤

I'm watching your videos while I work at a desk and I'm over here squeezing my lats before your pulls.

I do not need make up to feel confident, don't like the feeling of stuff on my face. Don't wear tight clothes also, baggy shit does of for me, I know what is underneath it ?.

100 kilos is not 220 lbs. 1 k is 2.25 lbs. 100 kilos is 225 lbs.

you area pretty women and your make up usually looks good :)

If make up makes you feel good then wear it , and who cares what others think :] i personally wear light foundation and eyeliner bc i sweat A LOT working out and a little lipstick. It makes me happy and that's all that matters! :]

Kilos, yeeessss! Although now I understand how much you lift, daammmn girl!

whoa pretty you're all over the place with those squats

Confidence is the same for boys - do / don't shave so feel more 'raw' when wanting to attack a bar or a set. Not that I can even lift remotely close to you (yet - working on it but just starting out). Thanks for lots of excellent videos. Motivational, inspirational and educational. What more could we ever ask for.

Australia! Yassssss!

I can attest to confidence messing up your lifts. Ive been having trouble maintaining strength for a while, then I started paying a pro cuddler to cuddle with me and I'm gaining strength for the first time in two years. Hell, my pullups went up for the first time in something like 5 years, which is impressive considering I'm bulking.

why is everyone trying to get all deep about her wearing make up.. Some girls like to wear their best gym outfit to lift and some like wearing makeup, is it bad to want to feel put together? the answer is no

Just a word of advice from someone who used to wear a lot of foundation, it does wreak havoc on your skin over time especially with sweating BUT I have found that mineral makeup is so much better, doesn't feel like it's sweating off and I use brands that only have about 3-5 ingredients. It's really gentle on the skin. Personally I just hate leaving the house without my eyebrows and lashes (they are there, just invisible) and a little powder so I don't look shiny. I get it, if you're looking in the mirror at a pimple while you're trying to deadlift you'll be distracted.

I'm from a country thats not the United States, and I'm very happy that you're lifting in kilos. :D

I see that when you squat you inhale and hold on the way down like the Valsalva Maneuver but you don't exhale while going up, do you find it more effective to hold on the way up?

London, UK ????Kgs ??????? #strongstrongfriend

Hi Meg how do you keep your teeth so white. Plus your eyes look huge skin looks vibrant what's your secret?

quero ver ela treinar maquiada com 40°.

I'm from the states, but I'm currently studying abroad in Hong Kong. I LOVE lifting in KG especially since USAPL competes in KG!

I'm so excited you lift in Kg! Hi from France

To me if you refer to the amount you lift in pounds, then you’re just trying to make yourself look stronger...*i lift 500 lb* when what you’re really saying is i lift 250 kg

you've got the prettiest big green eyes I've ever seen oh and i like your workouts too

Yes!  Love this

I'm from Brasil, and i'm glad to see the weights in Kilos. Now I don't need to open a conversor. Hahahaha

Hell yes, kilos! ??

I say who cares if you wear makeup to the gym as long as you put in work!

I personally do not wear makeup to the gym just because that plus sweat tends to make me break out really bad :/ plus mine would probably just melt off ?

Norway. Happy you're lifting in kilos

Metric here in New Zealand!

I wear makeup when I’m training because I watch myself lift in the mirror and I like to look at pretty. I don’t care if an insta chick is curling 2lbs and is all dolled up. I don’t care is a chick is wearing baggy sweats. I lift heavy and I like to look pretty doing it. I also like wearing flattering clothes. You do you, girls.

from Holland here, kilo's not pounds! Those eleiko plates are beautifullllllllll

kilos are bae

yuss kilos those hand corns are gainz! btw u totally reminds of Emily blunt tho. for reason
;0

I am happy you lift in kilos :DD from Austria btw :)

Im from Finland and i love that u lift in kilos!!

What foundation and concealer did you use?

Finally a single person on youtube lifting in Kg I'm going to cry!! <3

I do NOT wear makeup at the gym because I sweat, a lot. I like to be able to just wipe it off my face without worrying about making my towel brown.

whats the name of the song that starts around the 12 min mark?

Wear what you want,just know you're gorgeous either way.

Is that stubble?

Im lovin the Archie Griffin shirt...
O-H

NEW ZEALAND!!!!! KILOs and i love you!!!! <3

Totally can relate to lifting better when I'm feeling fly af in whatever outfit I'm lifting in.

People that do Summo position anything stress me out . It's like a 2 in range of motion and incorporates fewer muscles than conventional . Idk ...

Jaaa! Kilo's :). Makes watching your videos much easier for this Dutch girl, since I don't have to use my conversion app anymore. Somehow more impressed with the weight you lift, now that I can relate to it more in the metric system :)..

I live in England and KG is awesome

thank you for kg's! Lithuania :)

KG is much better

I' m in South Africa, yes we do kilo's down here! Now I don't have to do the maths all the time?

yay kilos!!! Hi from Straya <3 i always have my converter app out when watching your vids hahaha

you're hot too, girl so keep doing what you do and we can enjoy your nice looks and supple ass all day long.

Would loop bands work the same as a hip circle?

kg, SA

Kilos, yes!!!

I love makeup & yes I agree there are many lovely people on YouTube to teach all about the wonderful things. I personally hold the highest torches for Emily Eddington and Tati Westbrook. Always real!
But I am so happy you are here as an awesome motivator for me! And I haven't been working out long but I always feel better wearing some makeup ☺

IM FROM NEW ZEALAND AND KILOS IS THE WAY TO GOO hahahaa

Your a crack up girl looks like you wear the pants or should I say your the MAN

From Romania and I like it and also like you...and I am a guy

Thumbs up on the kg info

I was just looking at the weights and read Sweden, so I figured those were in kgs, which is great.

I'm from Germany and I'm always super happy when people use kilos as well as when they use grams/litres in the kitchen :D

it's refreshing to watch yr vlogs and see yr focus being on strength and NOT just looks. unlike some others that are painful to watch at times (i.e. nikki blackketter..who i do like to watch to get ideas for exercises and form but i find i have to put her on mute and fast forward a lot of the time!)

Vivan los kilos!

am from morocco and am lifting in kg

Sameeeee , i wear makeup to the gym too

FUCK YES I LIKE THAT YOU LIFT IN KILOS

????

I live in Canada, we lift in lbs.

You look beautiful with or without make up. Kettlebell Swings will also strengthen glutial chain.

i lift in kilos too :) i am from peru

since you and your boyfriend have the adidas and nike lifting shoes it would be nice if you guys did a review on them. loving the vids.

Omg I was JUST thinking how glad I was you did that in kg when you told us to comment ?? saves me having to spend sweet, sweet seconds looking it up ?

Fuck yeah! I cake my face on. I do it for myself and no one else. In fact, I have great skin but choose to wear makeup. Plenty of gym members have seen me without make-up, doesn't matter to me but I have earned the respect of a lot of people there because I lift heavy and work hard. ?

Wearing make up and my cute leggings/bra/tank makes me feel like wonder woman and I think it definately makes me lift heavier and WANT to lift heavier. Haters can just leave ?

From south africa. Thank you Meg. For once I understand the actual weight you're lifting. You're a killer :) yay for makeup ;)

Ditto

lol you make me laugh in a positive way... bit wow with the band you did awesome good job!!

I'm from Mexico and I love it!!!!

Story time - in high school on the bus going to every track meet I would watch my dear friend apply makeup - She would do herself up real* nice. Her goal wasn't to look posh, rather she found it very relaxing to focus on makeup rather than the butterflies in her stomach prior to competing! Also, it worked to my benefit as well as I felt more relaxed watching her apply it! I say do what works for you and ignore the nay-sayers!

Woo kilos! Thanks, from Australia ;)

But why is your personal self worth a function of altering your appearance? That thinking perpetuates the notion that your social status it tied to how physically attractive you are and this is not beneficial to your gender.

And if you want to apply some science to it, here goes. People (and most mammals) are highly optimized in facial recognition. All you have to do is observe a baby studying peoples' faces. What this means is it's confusing (and disruptive and unappealing) when you alter your facial appearance.

Sidebar: It's curious when people write/say that some women don't need makeup because they're attractive without it. What this means is unattractive women must alter their appearance which completely nullifies all the qualities that we like to say really matter -- kindness, intelligence, humor, empathy, etc.

I work out early in the morning so I'm not going to waste any time putting on makeup that i will end up sweating off anyway. If I train later in the day when I happened to already wear make up, then it usually ends up on my towel.

You do you boo. But unfortunately, most of the women I see at the gym with a full face of makeup are those who mill away from hours on the elliptical or prance around in their Gym Shark leggings thinking the gym is a live Tinder. Move out, Barbie, I've got heavy shit to lift.

Those red PANTS!!!!!!! I NEEEEEED!!! What brand? PLEASE!?

portugal and yass in kilos <3

What's an amrep mrep or what ever that word is? Sometime hate how words are shortened. For a newbie it's hard to understand the lingo

Hmmm makeup to lift more? I'm a guy but fuck it... Lezz GOO!

The whole world use and lifts in kgs. Except 3 colonies of the UK.

Hi from Belgium... Iam a new suscriber ^^ OK JUJI!

Watching from the Netherlands, 4 months later, but watching! Happy with you lifting in kilo's!

Cool vid! Love your opinion. I feel like your foot position is pretty wide, I used to do that too but I hurt my hip really bad. I now have my feet about shoulder width and I feel like that also really helps with my hip drive because instead of relying on my knees, I've built up my butt over time. Idk might help, I'm a former Marine and eat rocks for a living, so take it as you will

Stan style squat

This bar has terrible form at the bottom of a rep, you should tell it to brace its core so it doesn't bend

"Play stupid games get stupid prizes"...classic.

Nice to see a fellow missourian ??

Coop, is the bar / weight "staying over" mid foot during the full range of motion ?
Need better angles of your lifts with this bar.

OFF TOPIC - Do I wait on Rogue to restock their barbells or do I pull the trigger on Texas Power Bars who have stock now?

Horrible camera work.
Really difficult to see how the bar affects form when the camera person is doing closeups following you up and down on the squats.

Coop, love your videos. Camm-ber not caym-ber

Titan Safety Squat Bar
Hands Down is the BEST

A ROLLERCOASTER OF A THOUSAND POUNDS

“It’s just ugly” lol that was funny

This is some of the worst camera work I've ever seen.

I have always thought the most mechanically ideal place for the bar on the back while squatting was at the level of thoracic vertebrae six, which this bar allows. $600 is steep, 350 is reasonable.

Pls lose the creeper mustache

Only critique I have is, Put some bands on that bar!!!

Random guy with no profile picture here, how’s it going? I have a genuine comment regarding your filming & editing: lately the b-roll in your videos has been weird; it’s inserted at times where you’re explaining something & pointing at a specific aspect of the item, which should be showed to viewers, which is odd. B-roll should be played either when there is no dialogue (between different topics), or at times where you’re speaking about something that doesn’t need the viewer to visualize what you’re trying to explain (or you can use b-roll to demonstrate/focus on what you’re explaining, also).

Just thought I’d give some constructive criticism that may have not been brought to your attention. You’re videos have always been great btw.

I would like to get this bar but like Titan they dont ship to Canada
By the way you squat heavy enough to end up like Ronnie Coleman in your fifties

Ordered one over 2-months ago... E-mailed them a few times. No response, no updates, no actual phone number... $756 purchase and hoping it works out

How the hell would you bail with this thing?

Stache game strong Coop

great review! thanks

The mustache is offensive... yet it coincides; looking like a Mars bar handle!...Great video though!

I prefer snickers bars

Hey coop, you probably won’t see this but I bought a 300 lb Olympic set from dicks sporting goods which came with a pair of 45’s 35’s 25’s 10’s 5’s 2.5’s
And a 45 lb bar which happens to be 300 lb capacity. I can’t exactly lift 300 lbs or more yet, so I plan to use it till I get stronger but I thought it would be a good idea for a video for you to test it. Here’s the link for the bar if you see this suggestion

https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/fitness-gear-7-olympic-bar-16fgeufg45lblybrswba/16fgeufg45lblybrswba

Do you play on Reno 911?????

Proof that when you grow a mustache, you can lift more. No skill needed, good job, Coop!

hi Coop! Please check your gmail or FB messanger but we are not friends on FB so you have to see the filtered messages.
Thx!

Speaking as someone with shoulder issues, this bar looked great. I did check it out in the net and another bar came up in the searches, it's called the Transformer bar pricing is very similar. A video comparing the two would be good.

It sounds like a savage dumpster porn when you lift heavy Coop.

That is the proper sound for gains. Keep up the good work.

m dude with fake profile- no comment on form, but I did roast you a bit in my last vid ( take that back- why did your ass pop out like that? 17:08 )

Someone probably already mentioned it, but are those the new rogue deep dish plates in front of the rack?

Cool video, man. Nice lifts!

#HelpCoop

You better hope you don't get stuck on the bottom of a squat. That's not a good situation to get into with that bar.

Titan fitness really needs to make a replica and sell it for like $250. I’d buy it in a heart beat. Can’t justify spending 600 on a bar though

With that Mustache on your face. I wondered if Time Traveling really does exist. A guy from the 80s traveling to 2020 and doing Gym Equipment reviews ?

All that equipment and still a dad bod.

Coop, did you stop in Clinton? I have family at Lake of the Ozarks and stop in Clinton on the way from KCI...RTE 44 at the Sonic :)

Any comparison to the Kabuki transformer bar?

Glad you reviewed this
Can we get a review on the Tsunami Bar now, Coop??

Cool video

Next episode, "reviewing the snickers bar"

Not sure how tall he is but this dude looks like my uncle if he was jacked

edit: i only say i dont know how tall he is bc my uncle is 6' 6"

I thought it would flip up when you de-loaded one side. But then, I haven't used any kind of SSB yet, so not familiar with how they react.

When I hear Mars Bar.. I think almonds, nougat, and caramel all wrapped up in chocolate... LOL
Nice bar..

So pretty much what I expected. Awesome bar but way overpriced

Fake weights ? lol ? I like your plates ?

Can someone linke me a budget safety squat bar or a duffalo bar.

pretty solid work!

That's a Pro garage gym. Wao! You have a super gym.

Can you do good mornings with it?

That bar fetish tho.. ?

Nice choice of camera Coop, a fellow Sony Shooter.

For 650, the kabuki transformer bar is a better buy considering you can set it up for a low bar style squat plus all the other variations.

I hate the thumbnail so much.

This is one of your best, most in depth reviews. Enjoyed it.

If you have been lifting for years and you look like that damn you got bad genetics even for a natty lol.

Ive been trying to order this Marrsbar
I’ve tried contacting them twice via email because their web purchase checkout keeps changing my shipping address

They don’t respond?? Are they still in business?

Edit
I added a comment I did finally reach them, very nice folks

Lightweight baby!

That thumbnail! Lol

I literally have been using a home made version of this bar for years!!

This guy is weak. My pinky is stronger than him.

I do notice when you are about to decenende on each rep your upper back "wiggles and jiggels' try using a cue like tits up. To stabilize the upper back.

Coop, I have one. I made two trips to KS — first to try it out and second to bring it home. I saved freight by picking it up.

It fits differently on bigger guys. I use the handles to pull it up. I have several videos on my IG

This video just made me crave a tasty chocolate caramel treat!

Review the rogue volcano!!!!!!!!

Nice mustache, John Bolton style .. As for weird bar, someone should create the first Double Bar, with two sleeves on each side.

The squat bar uses you bra

What a nice stache coop

up next Titan fitness Pluto bar.

What's with the porn star stache?

I was really excited to see this! To bad i just PR'd 1501 lbs

Excellent review, Coop! Now we wait for the "Coop improvements/recommendations" to be executed...
Still waiting for Rogue to offer their 3-foot, Monster Utility 2.0 flat bench with Rogue color options....ZZZzzzzz...cough, cough, REP Fitness...

Just test the bar and STFU!

~395lbs; way to go Coop!

Watching it looks really harsh on the lower back. Does it feel harsh on the lower back. Other than that it seems pretty cool.

good review. helpful!

Can you achieve a similar angle on the transformer bar?

Is there anyway you can effectively bail on a lift when it’s on you? Or just have safeties your and drop straight down lol

Looks like it's good for good mornings and...that's it.

Waste of money!! With a regular barbell you can do a bunch of things!

Awful form! And that’s not a lot of weight!

I wouldn’t call it a “specialty” bar....if you have bad shoulders it is a necessity bar. ??️‍♂️

Oddly enough, this company is right down the street from me here in Lawrence, KS.lol RCJH. No shipping. Woohoo!

I saw louie use this he does high rep good mornings and makes the crew use it too

Do u get mars bar chocolates in america?

finaly a new video! also this bar looks like a roller coaster strap lmfao

Hey neighbor, did not know you were in MO. I am just east of KCMO.

A ROLLER COASTER OF A THOUSAND POUNDS!

mustache is solid btw

You look like escanor from seven deadly sins lmao

No drama in the garage gym! Just like Superman in his Fortress of Solitude.

Love the Jujimufu reference

Good review and good lifts!

Its free shipping until 2021 right now!
