Box Squat
The box squat can correctly be done one of two ways. One way you just use the box
as an indication you are reaching a particular depth. Using this method you squat down until you touch the box
and come back up. Doing this frequently will help you reach the correct depth when squatting without the box.
The other method is to sit on the box, relax the hip extenders briefly, then push
back up with all the speed you can. This method builds power coming out of the hole as well as teaching you how
to "sit back" into the squat. Using this method you can vary the box heights to target different specific
points in the strength curve.
The motion begins just like a normal squat. Notice the placement of the box.
Here is the trainee making contact with the box. Notice it has
him right on the legal depth mark. You can vary this height to target different points in the strength curve.
