too much knee drift forward
the point of the box is to sit as far back as possible and "try" to get ur shins to go past perpendicular.

the box needs to be behind you not under you

Looks good man, strong weight, only thing I see is and I don't know if maybe I'M doing them wrong but I don't actually "sit" on the box but I just go low enough to touch-and-go I guess you would say, to keep the tension. -Jay

theres nothing wrng with doing that..however that is not a "box squat" all that does is jsut mark your depth

a box sit is used to build your squat since it requires more force to overcome the box..sitting and pausing on the box will yield greater squat poundages rather than just touch n go
