Well yeah if you think about it you're going to have different squat styles individually, depending on structure, muscle strength (which generates the body's preference to use more or less different muscles etc) and other factors, but a high bar squat will have more potential to determine a more quad-oriented squat than a low bar squat GENERALLY (regardless of structure).

So obviously you can force a more hip oriented jump squat with a high bar position placement but you're going to have to compensate with your back angle etc so it's going to mess things up a bit.

Yeah I know what you mean but I've always had a blonde like that next to me.

Right^^^

I've seen increases as much as ~50 cm total in my 3 consecutive 2-leg bounds after doing heavy hang powersnatches.

Without doing the hang powersnatches I was jumping ~7.80m and after doing heavy (for me that was 45-50 kg) hang powersnatches I set a new PR with 8.40m and IT REALLY FELT different as far as movement was concerned (like I was feeling I was jumping more "correctly", with more power coming from the hips/hips moving back to initiate the jumps vs power coming from the quads/knees going forward to load the quads to initiate the movement).

What about back squatting or a more posterior chain dominant exercise like low bar back squats or deadlifts?

You people scare me with these %s. I can back squat low bar 150 kg and my best hang power clean is 77.5 kg (but I can't catch on the shoulders so that's a big limiting thing).

What was the frequency in doing your power cleans?

I agree ^^^

And yeah, upper body hypertrophy?

The thing is - should you struggle with hang cleans and hang snatches (if you learn them by yourself etc) or should you just go with jump squats and that's it?

140x7 deadlift today and close to passing out
