box squat question

[countzero]

On box squats (DE day) how wide a stance side I use?

 

[Hannibal]

Depends on what you are using them for. If you want to squat the most weight then use as wide a stance as you can.

Also make sure the box is low enough where your upper thighs are parallel to the floor. Sit back instead of sitting down. . . like Hannibal said, wide stance is the best.

How does it differ if you do them to where its lower than parallel? should you switch it up? i just started doing these and i use one that's 3in shorter than parallel.
