I was getting ready to do some Speed work on my box squats. I setup the box in the cage and was ready to go. The guy next to me was "half squatting". I was getting ready for the lift right when he said "Don't be afraid to go below parallel, your young". Nature reaction was to ask what? He then went on to explain to me that I shouldn't be afraid to squat low. Hated to burst the guys bubble, but I told him I was doing Low box squat. He looked at me funny. I asked him, "do you know what they are?" He said, "no". I then smiled and said.."well alright then" :)
 
what is a box squat? and to add to that question even, what is a low box squat?
 
ooo going to have to wait til I go home, on the work computer and can't watch it.
 
no, the box is not there just to stop you, you completely sit back on the box, no bump and go, basically sit down keep muscles tight, then explode back up.

It reduces the pain on your lower back a lot! I cannot do regualr squats or the next day i am hunched over in pain from my lower back screaming, with box squats I never get that
 
Yeah I do these at my home gym. It's not hard to find something to use.
