Box Squats

[powerlifterjay]

Well i started box squat full time this last Jan. I am different in my approach though. I do speed one week and max out totally the next. I wear no wraps but i do wear groove briefs. I Havent done a full power meet in over a year and a half but i test ever so often. Jan i did a in the gym free squat in full gear with 765lbs. Started box squats and did 805 3 weeks ago. Of course i attribute alot of my PR's lately to my Good mornig i do. I love them! So Tues day is always kinda of heavy. Good AM's, dead lifts , rack pulls ETC. Then on Fri i do speed squats one week then max ou the next. Works for me.

I'm going to have to read this thread a few times. there's too much good information on it and I really appreciate the effort. Thanks.

First thing I'm going to do is widen my stance, and take a longer pause. If I can't lift it, I'll lower the weight.

Oh yea, I'll also lower the reps.

You're on the right track, Genarr3. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

I just started box squats also. I can't squat conventionally because of a knee injury, but I can box squat relatively heavy with no knee pain at all(with a slim wrap). I agree that the full pause at the 'sit' is definately the defining factor of the excercise. I can't wait' til next leg day

Yeam that's the funny think. It's got me looking forward to leg day. Even more so then bench day.
