There are advantages to both squatting styles.(pl,ol)
The powerlifter that can squat 700 PL style raw will surely be able to drop that weight to 550lb and squat it high bar ATG (flexibility allowing). Im not sure if the same could be said for the O-lifter who works up to 550lb ATG. I just dont see them adding 150lbs and altering their style and squatting it.
Thats my argument for Pl style squats.[/quote]
Right, keep believing that. The strongest squatters in the world are olympic squatters.
Besides, how many PLers can squat “700” raw? Not many…
Like others have said, you hit the VM harder te lower you go.
