    Re: BOX SQUATS

    I used to do them a lot and I noticed great strength gains in my regular squats from performing box squats. The only probelm I had with the movement is that it would sometimes put some strain on my groin.

        They almost destroyed my back. This was back in HS, but when I got away from them my back problems went away. I think they make you stay too upright and not get you upper body down into position. I have a long torso so it's better for me to roll the bar down my back to about mid traps and then squat and that's too hard with a box.
        I used to have superhuman powers....until my therapist took them away.

          I do them alot. With good form, they're awesome but too many times people don't sit back far enough and place too much stress on the knees or sit back too far/don't keep their body tight and in position and end up falling the last couple of inches onto the box. I generally go a couple of inches below parallel alternating between close stance and wide and once in a while I'll go a couple of inches above parallel against bands just to overload.

            i've done them a couple times. its very important to sit all the way back and explode up using your hips/quads. takes a bit to get used to, i like em though.

              I do them in my rotation (so once every three weeks). If I go too wide they bother my hips.SC1

                If done correctly they are safe. If you do them wrong you'll know it. And i do them all the time
