How much do you box squat compared to your ass-to-the-grass squat?

For me it's around 80%

EDIT: parallel box, BTW

It's individual to each person. Some have a huge carryover while others don't.

On a parallel box squat, about 140% of my 5rm for ATF squats. Quite a big difference for me.

Is this a parallel box or what? Cuz i do box squats off a 4 to 5 inch box so its pretty low.

I thought one of the points of box squats was to get your body use to handling more weight so that when you go back full squat you can do more.
