High bar or low bar back squat? Where do you rack?

While tradition and conventionalism favor the high bar back squat in Olympic-style weightlifting. The low bar back squat lends value in developing systemic strength.

While positions can be made for or against either style, any exercise that is not the snatch, clean&jerk is merely a tool. Used intelligently, these tools can all be used to create a well rounded and robust program for the intended athlete.

Candid shots are the best. Thanks @paddygriffin and @dancefightlift.

Good overhead receiving position has the athlete supporting the barbell down the middle of the body using the joint structures to create a sturdy rack. Any deviation from this stacked posture will result in the forces around the joints to not be centrated and cause the athlete to lose efficiency in supporting the weight.
