Learning how to box squat properly

[grey6son]

My form isn't that good with squatting so someone said to try box squats. Do I have to get one of those squat suits with the straps or can I just do them without. Someone mentions about something called Groove briefs? also what are you doing if I don't have access to an actual box do you just use a bench

I would not use suits just go slow with small weights and go low on the box

2 tips

1. get a bench square behind you so you can sit down on it
2. hold the bar in front of you, not on back of traps

this prevents cheating when squatting.

You don't need a suit etc just to squat to a box. C'mon.

Heck you don't even need a fkin box. A bench works fine

these squats challenge your glutes and hamstrings even more ..... keep working hard ..

small weights is the way to start

You’re thinking to much into it. Yes you can use a bench and start with lighter weight until you have the form down then gradually add to find your working sets

engage your quads and glutes more. too many guys depend on hammies

yes great advice in this thread. when you do too much weight you lose form
