Box squats or GMs

[Tarheel]

Which have you found to help your squat more?

I only have room in my routine for one right now. Which should I pick, or should I cycle them, doing one for 2 weeks and then the next?

I think if you are serious about your squat, you should include both. You might need to rework your routine.

i love box squats, but the boxes i built <sniff> got thrown away. at the club i work at no less. stupid people.

both will definitely help you. gms will bulletproof your lower back.

Post your current routine.

You should .

Looks like your routine has worked for you just fine.

Well I think its because of the high volume of oly lifts and oly pulls I do. Lots of posterior chain work there.
Plus I do hammer the hyper back extensions quote a bit in an explosive manner.

Damn my hamstrings are sore right now

i do bench squats they hit my quads only

been thinking about rigging up a box but i've dragged enough sh*t in the gym already.

i know bentleg GM's have done wonders for my squat (at the bottom), deadlifts
and heavy rows.
