What is more real life applicable, a high or a low bar squat?
I'd argue low bar. Are they trying to "place the bar higher" as if they are above power lifters?

Well, I use both with my lifters as well as my collegiate athletes. The high bar tends to stress the quadriceps muscles more and the hip extensors less, while the low bar works the back/hip extensors more than the quads. I find both have their place in training.
