I was just wondering if ...


Anyone varies the height of boxes very often?....

What everyones caryyover is on a low box to competition max?...



I know westsiders used to say in their videos and articles you should get 100lbs carryover, but thats not anywhere near the case for me(at least not yet).

Usually when we do a squat movement on ME day we alternate the box's some times an inch or two below parallel or above or use a hassock.Count each exercise with each box and bar as seperate records to keep track or your strengths and weakness's .

Yeah, we do the same with ME work, but for DE work, I think you need to keep the height the same week in and week out. It teaches you to squat to a specific depth, so that you are comfortable squatting to that depth without the box.

on ME day for box squats dont forget to bring your feet in a lil bit. on de day i mostly keep the box at 15" but for the last 2 or 3 sets sometimes i will pull a mat out and drop it to 14"

What about everyones carryover now?

Actually I don't think I've ever used the regular squat bar for a max off a box, I've used the red bar, both cambered bars , and off a hassock, I'll see if we can fit these in, in a couple weeks. I remember doing bands and weight with the squat bar with a blue and green just can't remember my max, I'll get back with ya.

before nats i did a 675 off of a box with a straight bar, i squatted 675 easy at the meet. i guess thats no caryover at all lol. not a good example, but my next meet will be a better guage becuase i know more of what im capable with, with gear on.

following the thinking of box heights how far apart are you feet to get desired box height. I am 6'2" and on good days my feet might be apart about 34inchs most the time it is inside 30 inches.
When i tried using the normal 12 13 inch box height I found that i would break parallel by more then a few inches and my weight would be down..
