Box squat

[Adam MacKinnon]

Hey guys, heres another question for ya
A few days ago I took a max box squat about 2 inches below parellel and got a 282 with my best regular squat 352. I was slow for the first 6" or so coming off the box.
what would be the weakness here?Hammies?Hips?
Thanks!!

Problem could easily just be technique or speed accomodation. Are you using bands or chains?

B fold, I dont have bands or chains yet. I should be getting some bands pretty soon (as soon as i get some money
By the way thanks for all the help to my questions guys!

I only have the mini bands...and they make it much tougher for me. I can't imagine the blue or the green ones....can't wait to get them though.

B fold do you have bottom tension when you have the bands on? If so do you know how much? Thanks

This is how I did box squats last week. I did 339 for 9 sets of 2, bands were tight even at the botton sitting on my 12" box. Plan do do either 390.5 or 396 this week.
