VIDEO: Box Squat 702 x 10

One word:

BOSS!

That is sick! Great job!

4 more reps than I was expecting. Are you supposed to relax anything at the bottom? Every one I see sits up straight at the bottom except you.

The hip flexors relax for a hair of a moment at the bottom...everything else should be tight. The foam gives an illusion that I've stopped when in reality I'm still sinking...making it look like the bar is going down yet I'm not.

One should never rock backwards or "touch and go" on the box squat. There are several reasons why the box squat doesn't work for people...and it is always technical.

Pretty strong squat but your stance is waaaay wide and you're not breaking parallel?

What do you do for regular squat? The jump has gotta be pretty sick if you squat below parallel normally.

I need to go home and tear up my gym! Now I know how I want to set it up....
Hooks
Chains
Screaming tunes
Rust
Keg
clutter
White board
Bent olympic bar
Bar that swings in the air
garnish with a few grunts and screams
Green polo shirt!

Awesome strength dude. You are an inspiration.

Waaaay Wide and not breaking parallel? My stance should be wider and it DOES break parallel. Maybe you can't see it from the video.

There is no such thing as a "regular squat".

 

[ChrisUlrich]

Why should your stance be wider? You're just about on the rack. And you're definitely not breaking parallel.

Regular squat meaning just wider than shoulder width and breaking parallel.

Chris you should post a video explaining how to squat so Clint understands. Ha! Usually someone who has educated themselves somewhat in strength training, knows the difference between a power squat and an Olympic squat. You should definitely post an educational video for us all cuz Clint is obviously new to this whole squatting thing!
