Feb 16 - High Box Squats

I've recently started to box squat in order to kickstart my squat form which has been lax of late. I still have many issues, hence the high box (18")

Im curious, is the box just used like a reference point or possibly safety?

[frozenkilt]

Reference point. Usually by powerlifters, the geared sort, in order to get a feel for how low they need to go to get the lift passed by the judges. It's also a great way to squat with less stress on the knees.

It's definitely NOT for safety.

Sean you make those 45's look like 35's - what, are you 9 feet tall or something?

[frozenkilt]

Heh. No, I'm just REALLY skinny so 6'3" looks tall.

[fukidomev2]

you need to sit backbackback glutes back first and sit and flex up and off the box

[Cambria2007]

theyre supposed to be it looks like dynamic effort unless im very much mistaken

[Fire435]

Yeah your training is more endurance based. I suggest training like powerlifters, using a heavier weight for 2-5 reps for about 8 sets.
