    Whenever I parallel squat I want a spotter no matter the weight. Partially as a safety net but also to make sure I'm keeping my form and going down far enough. I usually box squat without a spotter though cuz honestly is one guy gonna be able to do anything if 650 pounds comes down on me? I'll take the safety bar thank you.

    i like box squating because I know how low i am squating and it keep me concentrating on the weight and not asking myself " am i go low enough"

    Me too. Plus its a good way to pile on the weight and shock your muscles and get over your plateaus

    That's a good reason not to w/o (at least not heavy lifts like SQUATS) when you're sick. Shouldn't w/o at ALL if you're running a fever.

    That squat bar could have caused a serious injury to your back or something as IT and you were falling.

    Let your body recover from the illness - the gym will still be there in 4 or 5 days.

    That's a chance I'm not willing to take
