I loved box squats in high school..you could load the bar with 2x your normal weight and rep it with ease...i think we called em "sissy squats".

WTF. I'm confused. I thought it's normal squats, but in the power cage so you can't fall over.

It's the heat and humidity. It's leg press season, money-clip
Over 90, I have to rest infront of a fan every 2 sets or throw up on something.

i don't think so joey...the box should be slightly below parellel...no way you should be able to do twice max...most peeps i know box only slightly more than regulard

then the box you used was too high.
no way are box squats "sissy".
use a 12" box next time and go down till you're sitting on it and get back to us about how 'sissy' it is.

I think I need to find out what the hell a box squat is.
I thought the box was the cage. There is a box involved also?

BTW, you're all sissies and should bow down to my feet.

you can use a bench but i have an adjustable "box" so i can change the height to suit whatever im doing..
anyway bsaically you want a box thats at para or below..
set your squat stance sit on and PAUSE (thats the big thing is to make sure to pause) on the box releasing te hip flexors but keep the abs tight then reflex off the box..

the pause is the whole key..it makes a squat harder that is how you get carry over to a free squat..if you just touch the box the only thing you did was mark how low you went

lol
a box squat involves an actual box or seat that you sit on at the bottom. it has nothing to do with the power rack or cage.

I got it guys. Never see it done before.

No LOL'ing, Corky.

someone told me thats really bad for ur back... is that a bunch of bs, or its only bad if u dont have good form

if you bounce off the box, like you proly will be a young'un and all...sit back deep when you do them...feet in front of you not under...90 degree angle in knee

 

[wnt2bBeast]

prolly the same people that say deadlifting is bad for your back as well

people like this have to justify to themselves why they dont squat or pull or better yet its how they justify using a smith machine..

i find it funny when someone( like most trainers in my gym) havent a clue about how to squat properly then go and teach someone there improper form
