Can someone explain to me the Difference between free squat and deadlift
Normally when I squat I use a squatting rack if I am not using a squat machine
I assume if you lift it off the floor it is a deadlift and not a squat
Now some people on youtube are claiming if you use pins that is called a pin squat which is different then a free squat, but if you don't use a squatting rack I call that a deadlift
In this context the pins are shown on a squatting rack not a squatting weight machine
Box squat, bar on your back, squat to a box. I like the old 12 incher.
Pause, Drive back up.
Pin squat. Bar on back. Either squat down the safety pins and pause and drive up or start on the pins and drive up.
Zercher squat. An oddity. Bar is in the crook of your arms. Lower like any other squat. Drive up.

Bro what?
Squat. The bar is on your back and you squat.
Deadlift. The bar is on the ground. You grab the bar and stand erect.
Everything is a variation of these movements.
