Box squats

[davidtyree]

Do you guys do box squats? I recently started trying them and find them super challenging. When you take away the momentum getting back up is super tough!

I don't generally incorporate them anymore, but I do use pause squats.

I have done but you need to stay flexed in the hole. Right now I squat to a bench to keep strict on depth.

front and box squats are far superior than back squats because it forces you to engage and do it more properly

Since I had my disc issues I dont squat at all anymore, but yes box squats have benefits. As do many other exercises

Yah its good but make sure you are keeping everything tight when you hit that box. Alot of injuries happen when maniacs relax.

I don't squat anymore

Definitely don't relax on the box. Keeping it tight doesn't remove the challenge of losing momentum per se, but should help prevent injuries.
