box squats?????

[michaelm]

would using a bench press bench in a power rack be a good idea to use for box squats? If not, what do you use and how do u set it up? Looking to add some in my workout.

It depends on how tall you are. You would have to be pretty tall for a bench to be the right height. I'm about about 6' 3" in my shoes and a bench is about 1 1/2 inches too high for me. You want to be about an inch below parallel.

so box squats are used for DE days even? Are you basically banging your ass off the box or what?

your sitting on the box just long enuff to relax your hips then explode back up..not bouncing though
