Both senior and not so senior weightlifters and all in between should have one thing on ther mind whilst sqautting and that is a balst off from the bottom position...period! Unfortunately the juniors seem to blast off downward whilst struggling upwards...not the best for the knees I must say. It's control down and blast upward.
No Mike, just steady and controlled down and once the bottom position has been reached then you give it your all as you drive upwards. I'm not one for pausing but I'm also not for bouncing either.

I thought I rested the bar low, but perhaps it's medium. I was going to take a photo today but wrestling a bar in a cage on my traps while wielding the camera had too high a degree of difficulty. I might ask someone next time instead of trying to do it myself.
Proper bar placement depends on your body type and what’s most comfortable to you. Some people have shoulder problems and can’t carry the bar very low. Others just plain suck at high bar squatting. Place the bar where it allows you to reach depth with good form. It’s just that easy.
