Box Squat
Sit back onto a box, pause without relaxing, and stand; the box fixes the depth rep to rep.
How to do it
Setup
Bar on the back, a box at parallel height a half-step behind.
Steps
- Sit BACK until you touch the box under control.
- Pause a beat without relaxing.
- Drive up without rocking forward.
Common mistakes
Crashing onto the box: the touch is soft; the spine hates the plop. Relaxing on the box: tension holds through the pause. Rocking to stand: the hips drive straight up.
Breathing
Big breath at the top, hold through the box, exhale driving up.
