Low Bar. High bar just doesn't feel right and I can't do as much weight.

It'll all depend. Mobility on ankles and hips.your Height . Personally high bar but fucked up my ankle late last year and not as much dorsiflexion now so low bar it is!

I never thought about it until you asked - low bar.
This game isn't for everyone, being big and bloated doesn't make you the man, nor does being 110lbs ripped. If you are not competing, find a happy medium. I was thin once, learned all there was to learn about steroids and got pretty big. Then learned how to eat and I got really huge.

High bar for me...
Low bar activates more glute/hamstring and greater hip involvement. High hits my quads more... what are you trying to achieve? Powerlifters tend to go wide with a low bar, more bodybuilders i find stick to high bar shoulder width stance...while others find what feels best to suit their structure..

my legs have terrible flexibility. just trynig to find the easiest way to acheive parallel because even without the bar [parallel is hard for me. if i do high bar the weight actually bends my torso forward and causes my hips to rise a bit to gain leverage but with low bar it feels right whre it should be and i feel it in my legs a lot more

Sounds like youve answered your own question.
You need to stretch..biggest tip i wish someone told me early on...i still dont do enough and have a lonnng way to go..you need to stretch to work on flexibility it will be essential to injury prevention and even muscle growth. Not to mention not struggling in day to day life.
