Box Squat - 405 x 20

[track200meters]

that rockin motion is making it too easy, should be going down to box touching it then going up not rocking back and forth like that.. too much momentum...

[czoraa21]

ive been doing box squats for a while now but i dont come up off my feet when i squat down, i kinda feel like that would be bad for ur spine. does it really matter or its just ur preferance of doing the squat?

[stfuandLiftBtCh]

tell thats bitch to stfuandlift

[xabcx]

seems like you kinda jerks the weight a little bit everytime he's at the top of the lift. can anyone comment as to why ?

@RedHorizon100

be a man get rid of the box

[za1pp]

wtf is this crap get rid of the box and squat like a real man

[Hodgkinson51]

@za1pp before you start defining what a man is, why dont you try box squats, you NEED to be explosive to sit back up. i hate it when ignorant people give their opinion when they couldnt do something like this if their life depended on it

[za1pp]

@Hodgkinson51

stfu get rid of the box then talk

[Hodgkinson51]

@za1pp please tell me why i wouldnt be a man because i do box squats. stfu eh? you were talking about being a man then you say something childish like that

[za1pp]

@Hodgkinson51

Box squats for sissys who want the easy way out stfu and real squat

@za1pp box squats are actually harder to do

watch out for your hemorrhoids

He takes his feet off the floor to make sure he breaks the eccentric/concentric motion up...it's a power move you don't want to use any momentum or have your stretch reflex help you squat the weight back up.

@kozz1984 it's not needed though. you lose all momentum once you actually sit on the box, as long as you don't touch and go it. the leg lift actually ADDS momentum to the lift buddy.

[Cambria2007]

I think he lifts his legs to make it appear more parrallel. that box is def. higher than 15".

[puttter]

the lifting the legs helps you explode up into the lift... almost adding a box jump takeoff effect

[willheffernan]

It's actually 18". I have those exact same boxes. The full set go 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42 inches.

[seventyeightwater]

fuck that spotter

[robertarichardson]

will sitting down and completely resting the wieght like you are damage your spine??

[bigrudy09]

i thought u werent suppose to sit completely just touch it and bounce back up

[ffryan]

You make that look like nothing, nice work.

[anuj247]

nice weights but dont take the feet off the floor and perhaps use a shallower box next time...this could lead to some injuries.

[kennyfat]

nice man

[martyboy85]

Nice squatting man.

Is there any reason/benefit for taking your feet off the floor, or is it more of a personal preference?

Just curious, not having a go :]

[arj0878]
