Hello. OK, Ive been doing squats for about...oh 5,maybe 6 months. I started out HATING them. Slowly Im learning to...uh...appreciate. My Question is, I originally learned "how to squat" from reading stuff in here...youtube vids, and good ole fashioned hard work. I at first tried the "powerlifting" type squat where you sit way back,low bar, etc. Ive always found this awkward. Ive also fumbled with the more "olympic" type squat where my feet are closer, high bar, etc. So, to get to my REAL question, considering its more important for my body to "get strong" and maintain athleticism( in this case ive gotta GET IT first) do you who are much more knowledgable than I know if it would be a BAD idea to lose the powerlifting squat and focus on the other type? I am still a beginner, and have SO much to learn, but its my understanding that the "powerlifting" squats main purpose is to move the most weight, while the other type im thinking of is better overall for your body. Am i making ANY sense at all? At the risk of getting fruit thrown at me, should i try to rephrase??? Please be gentle.:icon_chee
