Box squat question (Spatts, Hannibal, B-Fold?)

[CrimsonKing]

Joker - Box Squat help build explosive strength. That is why you use such low weight to focus on driving the bar up.. Add bands and wow.. you can really feel it.. look at my journal thread I did box squat w/bands tonight.. very cool and intense

Ok. How about if my goal is strength? Should I do a combo of both? (To increase strength.) I don't currently have any bands or chains, but I have been considering getting some bands. How would I use the bands for strength? (Sorry if some of these questions are newbie questions, but strength training is new to me. )

Our split is:

Sunday...Speed bench
Monday...Max Squat
Tuesday...off (sled drag)
Wednesday...Max Bench
Thursday...off (Sled)
Friday...Speed Squat
Saturday....off or accessory work that isn't covered (chest, bis)


Basically 2 days of max and 2 days of speed. Dedifts alternate with goodmornings on squat day, as a second move. Not quite that cut and dry...but that's the idea.

Can I ask WHY you want to be able to ATF squat alot?

At this point in time, since I have been doing ATF for longer, it's the only gauge I have for how/if my strength is increasing. (Does that make any sense?)


I do a 4 day split. Would it be beneficial to alternate weeks for speed and then max? (One week speed, one week max?)
Also, I just started GM's. I have been doing them as a secondary move on back day. (Light and after deads. But not immediately after.) Think I should move them? Or are they ok like that?

CK> Sounds like I definately need to invest in some bands. Thanks.
