box squats

[bhamstaff]

how do you perform a proper box squat. also what is the idea behind them?

Box squats help develop starting strength out of the hole by taking away the stretch reflex of the negative portion of the lift.
I always liked that there was no need to worry about depth. Once you choose your box hight, thats it.

There is a lot of information around posted by the Westside boys regarding box squats. Check out this article from Louie:
