Idea for a new type of Squat form

[coolcolj]

Picture this

holding the bar standing up ala like a deadlift lockout. Lower down like your squatting, but keep the bar on top your thighs instead of lowering the bar to the ground. Then rise back up an dhold the bar back in your hands.

Kinda like a semi deadlift front squat

what do you guys think? I just tried it then with a broom handle and it seems like it would work

It would be digging into my legs for at least half of the movement, that would kill me just in the bruising right there. My arms aren't that long for my height... I think a front squat would achieve most of the same effect...

my arms are long, and trying to hold the bar around thigh level would kill my traps if I went heavy. but then again, if done with correct squatting form, the bottom position would looklike you were resting the bar on your thighs after doing bent over bb rows..

I just thought it was an interesting way to load the legs and upper body in a weird sorta load curve

could be the thing to break through a plateau




BTW the avatar pics are mostly the same girl anyway

Sounds different, but I will stick to the basic squat.
