Hey guys, i am trying to get this squat thing figured out. I used to be doing box squats and using a bench as the box, but i think it doesnt let me go low enough
Here is a video:

The bench is way too high, you're no where near parallel, just stack some plates if you want to do a box squat. Of course you'll be able to carry more weight the higher your squat is.
Keep your spine neutral and your head stationary, but the low bar squat's not bad.Always learning.

Squat - 110kg
Deadlift- 115kg
Bench Press - 65kg
Overhead Press - 47.5kg

chest up, look straight ahead or slightly up
when you un rack bar, think of making double bicep pose to keep upper back tight
breathe in, push abs out to stabilize core and lower back, keep tight through whole movement
Looks good overall.
check out Squat RX on youtube watch all the videos lots of cues, what to watch for etc...This forum is great! Wish I found it years ago.....
