Squats and CrossFit

Do you think it matters if you do lowbar squats instead of high-bar/front squats when training CrossFit? Do you think the transfer value to the Olympic lifts will be noticeably smaller?What are your thoughts on squats and CrossFit?

Hoping for answers, really appreciate it!

Erik,

  1. No, not really outside of the carry over to the specific lift(s) and Olympic lifts.
  2. Yes, for low bar likely.
  3. Not sure if I have any general thoughts on squats and CrossFit.
