High bar or safety bar. 
Nice.

QuoteLow bar destroys the hips for some.
It also destroys the "squat" motion for some if they really get good at some methods of it.

QuoteI no longer do any barbell bilateral  squats, only lunges, step-ups, and split squats. Nor do I do standard deadlifts anymore. I no longer do any exercises that greatly compress the body, or make me feel awful for days afterward.
Try goblet squats or front squats. That can improve things. One doesn't need a heavy weight on one's shoulders to squat productively.

Quote
I do not mind heated subjects discussed with civility. I will not insult people. I am open to talk about IQ, historical revisionism, race, the JQ, the FQ (female question), immigration, and so on.
Females don't exist. It is a conspiracy.

QuoteAccusations of being an angry incel don't work because I'm married with children. Inceldom is a problem in the West though.
I am not engrossed in the online discussions which have resulted in these words. I focus on moral theology.

I try to avoid even using the terms I do know, like the pills and such.

QuoteI am not fond of perma-angry, meme-obsessed Trad Cats.
Well, you fond the right place.

I am totally uninterested in steroids and never had interest. They're extremely unhealthy and grimy if not used as they were intended to be used, specifically for medical conditions.

I also think steroids make people mentally unwell. One of my closest friends is an IFBB pro and I have been around enough users to know of their physical and mental health issues that they don't broadcast on social media.

My favorite quad exercise is Bulgarian split squats with a bar or dumbbells. I sometimes did front squats in the past. Safety bar was my favorite.

I don't flat bench. I am arms-dominant and flat bench pressing never hit my pecs like weighted dips and dumbbells do. I use a basic, minimalist program now, three days per week. Gone are the days of split routines and high volume.

BG, we have one member here who has a running gag of posting a question about lifting to intro threads, no matter how little sense it makes.  I think you have completely ruined it.  Or maybe you have given him the perfect set up.   :D

No conventional deadlift? What about bench press? I guess you don't do any of the big compound movements anymore due to the stress on the body?

I'm on a minimalist program so nearly all exercises are still compounds. I just don't do many barbell exercises. I still include dumbbell bench press and dumbbell over head press, dumbbell or supported row, weighted chin-ups, lunges, split squats, and stiff-legged deadlift.

Since you are new, you might like to know about the Chat we have. It is in a link at the top, but it is also an IRC channel, so you can access it through any client.

Training talk might be good in there and we can teach Melkor a thing or two about what is in store for him in 10 years.

Yes, he does.  There are quite a few people here who are interested in it.  That's nice since it gives you some common ground with other members here, besides your faith.

Yeah, where is Mr. "Do you lift" Heinrich?  :)

Thanks. I've watched Alan Thrall before. I stopped watching most YT fitness people long ago. Most are narcissists,  clowns, liberals, perverts, simps, libertarians and wannabe tough guys.

A Thrall is one of those guys, if he were a traditional Catholic, who could covert many. He's simply a cool dude. And yes, I agree 100% with what you say otherwise.

Yes, he seems like an alright guy.

Bodybuilding as an organized sport, like most sports today in the words of the OP, has become "degraded...lending itself to idol worship and degenerate culture."
