[theoak01]

when i started incorporating box squats into my routine i could actually do more then with regular squats,maybe thats just me

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

One of three things Oak:

1-The box wasn't low enough
2-You were bouncing off the box
3-All of the above

heavywear-I didnt bounce. I was being a wimp and just trying to get my form down. sheeit, my hams were killing me the next couple of days. I almost have the form down. we'll see next session...

 

[theoak01]

the box was about a foot and a half,and i would pause on the box for about 3seconds then explode up

Either you are all leg or that box is way too high. I choose the latter. Get yourself a lower box to get the full benefit of the movement.
