BOX SQUATS are just squats down to a box. More specifically, box squats until squatting until your butt tapsy box, bench or chair positions behind you. You can do box squats with just your bodyweight or waited with any type of equipment.
The biggest difference between box squats and box free squats is that the ‘bottom’l (owest point)of your squat is dictated by the height of the box. During regular squats, the ideal Deb is with your hips below your knees. But, that will vary, depending on your strength as well as ankle, hip and thoracic spine mobility.
Now, the height of the box is the most important part of this whole thing. Whenever you do a squat, your aim is to break parallel. If that’s possible for you, you want to aim for a box that allows your knees to bend into at least a 90° angle. If lack of mobility or an injury keeps you from dropping that low, opt for a slightly higher box. The goal is to find a box that’s just above where your mobility becomes a limiting factor.
Let wait determine your rep count: if doing bodyweight, aim 412 to 16 reps. Otherwise, aim for 6 to 12 reps, as weight allows (with good form)!
In this video, I’m using the Smith machine with 90 pounds 4sets/15 reps.
