I do, but I must use a low bench. This brings me to parallel position. I am sure to let my hips rest then I will explode towards the top.

I will not be performing box squats for quite some time since I am using DC training.

How long do you pause for? 1, 2 seconds?

i usully just sit long enough to let my hamstings and hips relax then explode to the top

loudin- why, you can use box squats in DC training. Just use it as a leg exercise. I mean it has a rest pause kinda built into it but i think it would be and effective tool at raising both strength and size

I do 7 sets...8-10 reps

Set1 - 125lbs - 10 reps
Set2 - 265lbs - 10 reps
Set3 - 305lbs - 10 reps
Set4 - 395lbs - 10 reps
Set5 - 445lbs - 8 reps
Set6 - 265lbs - 8 reps
Set7 - 125lbs - 8 reps

I love squats...although it's hard to find pants that fit me, now that my quads are freakin' monster-like! If only my chest was that way! hahaha'
