Box squats vs crash bar squats

[Thaibox]

LS,
They're just an alternative to box squats, to work around an injury. Instead of launching from sitting, I would use the "safety" bars on the cage to begin from the same position. However, the more I think about it, and the more input I get from others, I'm thinking its too different to be a legit alternative.

your right it is, but you could improvise, set the pins where you would be on the box and still sit down.

just an idea.

you need to keep using the box, using the rack wont accomplish the same thing as the box squat, you need to be able to sit on the box and relax your hips then flex. you cant do this with the crash pins and be in the right position. just bring up for lower back so its strong and you should be ok. good luck on 600 dl!
