-I was supposed to clean and do RDLs today, but didn't have it in me...had a good squat session though - not far from my all-time best box squat of 480 and 430 really felt light on my back today

-more importantly my free squat at 355 today felt really good, my hip flexors are holding up just fine it seems

Great squatting CN. Nice job.

 

[fortunatesun]

ya, those box squats keep looking stronger every time.

Nice workout.....box squats are impressive as hell.....I think you can uncork a double bodyweight olympic squat at will too.

thx guys

yea I haven't done box squats in years, but they're coming back realy fast and I feel like I'm going to bust up my old PR very soon...yea biggt I know I am strong enough to hit a 380+ oly squat given that my left hip flexor doesn't act up, my hip flexors always present an area of problem when it comes to ATF squats although the box squatting seems to have strenghtened them significantly

quick question, any of you guys wear belts while box squatting? I'm over 2x bw and I'm going to be pushing in the ballpark of 450, 460 next session (I weigh around 185 - 190) and I was wondering if I should wear a belt...I usually never wear a belt while squatting or deadlifting period.

Belts are good when box squating. It's part of the movement that's performed like a regular squat: filling your abdomen with air and pushing out against the belt to create a stable base with your core.

yea, I ordered an Inzer 10 mm belt last night just for box squats. I usually never wear a belt for anything, but I dont want to take any unecessary risks so we'll see how it goes.

-good workout, felt real strong on bench today, probably had 300x3, but pussied out

-push presses felt like a fucking joke today, driving them through the roof

 

[BiggT]

That's a great push press....they're feeling light from all of the squatting you're doing.
