If squatting alone i think it should be considered stupid no matter what your skill or strength level to squat without safety bars in place. Even elite lifters gently caress up. Its just not worth it. Same when benching however i dont bench with safety bars but i never bench with collars on. Doing 1-2 warmup sets will help you figure out the right height but even of theyre a little too low will save you from infinitely more injury than no bars at all.

There is nothing unsafe about dumping a squat off your back assuming you aren’t a moron and have made sure not to have stacks of poo poo behind you and a crowd of people

dumping squats off your back is extremely safe if done right and it's why you see hella strong people squatting on those two pole upright stands. Dumping onto safeties will often bend/ruin bars at heavy weights.

Can you not just continue sinking until the bar rests on the safeties? I’ve never had to bail on a squat, luckily, only once on bench (no collars 4 lyfe)

Dumping onto safeties will often bend/ruin bars at heavy weights. also with front squats. and overhead squats it's not too hard to avoid loving yourself up when dropping a barbell. the closest i've come to hurting myself is when i've tried to hold on to the bar for too long as it's already falling

try pointing your elbows more downwards at the top and that will straighten out your form in general because it looks like you're leaning forward from the beginning definitely do some work with an empty barbell to get it right

Put the bar lower on your back if you're going to bend over that much.

Yeah the forward lean I exaggerated too much because dudebro that's coaching me said I need to lean forward a bit and I overcorrected. Guess the best mental cue I know is to try and keep the bar over mid foot.

Vargatron posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABo8aJiCMgg If you're squatting high bar, you should try to keep your torso as upright as possible. The bar is way in front of your feet at the bottom, which makes you lean forward even more, ideally it should be in the middle. Ignore everything the dudebro said and watch these instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEy5WFr-CDA

Low bar is almost under your shoulders. And just do what juggernaut says for squatting. You'll be way better off than trying to squat low bar starting strength style.

Sometimes if an injury like a torn glute or ham happens you will collpase forward not backwards if in the bottom of the squat.
