[TheSoldier]

Big PR for me, hopefully will hit 335 for 5 + reps in the new year

[steve_nash]

good for 14. i hate box squats though...they always seem like thats what the pussies at the gym do.

[rushfan73]

I'm not mirin them because I've never seen somebody actually sit on the box. You usually barely touch it and then go back up.

[MegaHold]

good stuff for 14 man

[TheSoldier]

thanks

i can squat more regularly lol

[trevor.m]

i hate box squats,they make me feel like im dead when i hit the box.and to one of the posters above my coaches always told us to rock back on the box before going up.

Yeah box squats take too much out of the squat, its something you do when you're trying to get used to a heavy weight. Not many bodybuilders do it, but I think OP is pursuing PLing so good for you OP.
You're only 14 too, good ****!

[.Arete.]

Amazing for 14, personally i don't like box squats though, don't like the sitting pause.

thanks guys

and yeah i just want as high a squat as possible so yeah

[DanielBeauchamp]

Your back looks to be dipping a little? Is this usual for box squats?

Also: no offense, but you sound like you're giving birth to something, brah. lol

[Saint_James]

Good **** man, strong as hell for 14.

But lol, i had the volume very loud and some big time moaning going on in this vid.

[AmPLiFY519]

Strong squat for 14 brah. on your last rep my lower back was hurting just watching though! lol.

[Stackz123]

jesus christ only 14? what made you start lifting at 13/14?

[t-350z]

agree i dont think you should be letting your back go so foward. Ouch not mirin.

[TheHitStick]

What's wrong with sitting on the box? Helps with the "sitting back" part of the squat and it'll defiantly build more explosion because you're at a dead stop.

For Bench Press, who is stronger?

A. The guy who benches 225 x 5 while "bouncing" the weight

B. The guy who benches 225 x 5 while being at a dead stop

Anyways, like others have said, defiantly watch your back.

[omg_otters]

not mirin as much as your deadlift form but good lift, especially for 14

[EJ1993]

strong 14 y/o

[Deadlift_10KG]

Good lift but bro, you're almost parallel to the ground on the last 2 - 3 reps, looking like GMs.

[allergic2rice]

remember to keep your head up, else it'll be real easy to pull a ham

nice squat

[TheSoldier]

^ my head wasnt down, rippetoe even says to have your head slightly down especially with low bar

repped as many as possible too

[Super Naut]

you are supposed to sit back on the box to take away any stretch reflex or momentum. weight used with parallel box should be less than free squat. (to above)

good lift OP, make sure you are doing actual free squats with frequency though. i did box squats for a couple of months and made good progress on them, but then went back to squatting less. dont really find it to resemble a free squat closely enough to replace squats. maybe cycled in every once in a while or used as supplemental exercise. but, of course it depends on the person and their technique.

moooooaaaaaannnnnnn

awwwwwwwwwww

[xHoward]

i'll take that into account, i really enjoy box squats though

feels like its hitting my posterior chain a looot harder than normal squats

GOOD MORNING! (see what i did there)

Nice lift. thats about my box squat (i can box squat more than squat??????) and i'll be 16 in two weeks. Very impressive, as is your DL.

I'm not mirin them because I've never seen somebody actually sit on the box. You usually barely touch it and then go back up.

fail



and people who say they dont like box squats- at westside barbell they almost always box squat (instead of regular BB squat). But hey, what do they know???? Box Squating greatly reduces injury and is a great exercise, although you should still free squat every once in a while so that you dont get lazy on the negative and for other reasons.

^ you should box squat less than you regular squat.

[The_Cook]

READ #6. i so however think you primarily should regular squat at a beginner level(where im at), until **** get really heavy.
