Impressive man! Wish I can lift that much! :D

I just do squats like that, but for my leg/shoulder day what are some of the best leg exercises that you would recommend?

In addition to Box squats, you can do close or wide stance regular squats. close or wide stance front squats. If you ahve a Safety squat bar, it is a wonderful bar to add another variable. Leg press and hack squat machines also have their place in routines

Nice lift man.. I was thinking of throwing box squats in my rotation.. I would assume they would really hit those fast twitch muscle fibers since you have to do each concentric repetion from a dead start cause you to explode more thru the repetition to get off the box.. I need alot more leg mass and wanted to give these a try..

these will certainly help, the stronger you become, the more load you can lift and that usually equates to bigger muscle

also check out the video of Front squats with a safety squat bar, going below parallel with a close stance will add some quad size for sure

Good work - I've heard in the past that with box squats once you are sitting down with all of that weight for that split second or two, it just puts a lot of pressure on the lower spine therefore causing injuries. I tried them a couple of times way back when and I did feel the pain down there. But I could be wrong what are your thoughts?

You got it man. This really motivated me to get serious about squatting. The fact that 225 kicks my ass on squats, but I can easily rep it on bench is bothersome lol. Time to give legs the attention they deserve.
