Today we are finding our 1RM for High Bar Back Squat. We will then use this number to jump into a new squat cycle concentrating more on the high bar position. High bar position on the back squat enables more anterior (frontal) loading which transfers better to the olympic lifts (clean & jerk, snatch). If you have tight hips, come a little early and limber up! The video shows some great hip opening stretches.
