Box squats or GMs

[JOKER47]

i do bench squats they hit my quads only

You are probably not sitting back far enough. You might also need a wider stance. The wider the stance for me, the less quads and more hams and glutes come into play.

I think about it like this, I sit way back and actually think of pulling myself up with my legs. Not standing up.

Yes, to work the hamstrings ad hips well you must sit back until your shins are past perpendicular and use a box 2 inches below parallel. Jesus Christ do some fucking research. Whan I was 16 I was reading translated russian textbooks.

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.

I sometimes find a bench the same height as my box....and accidentally sit on it whilst squating. Whoops, whoops, whoops......about 23 times a dynamic effort work out.

IDEA

When you pass a construction site on the side of the road, grab a couple cinder blocks.

Thanks for the ideas. I've already restructered my new routine twice this week, I'm finally starting to cement some parts of it I think.

I think I'm going to rotate exercises around every 2 weeks, maybe 3.

Changing max effort exersises every 2-3 weeks is only for beginners. You will gain much quicker and burn out less if you change every week.

Was this really necessary?

Yes, with 5-10 minutes of research they would know this already.
