Wow, its weirder than I thought. I was just pre checking the box and OMG it is weird. It feels a lot different than a box about 2 inches below parallel. So, anyways:
1: Have you ever used a box 4-5 inches below parallel? If so, how does it compare to your regular full squat weight(Raw, if possible.)?
2: Will a box of this depth below parallel definately be how much I can regularly squat since it is so low?
3: This improves the very bottom of the squat right? If so, how effective can it be?
Thanks.

almost impossible to get off the box. i had to squat with my feet together to make depth... so hard
my normal box is like 11 inches high i think.. and it helps me alot at the bottom.. i just stall right at parallel

Have you ever used a box for ME Squat? I've only used the 12 inch box, so I'm gonna compare the shorter box. Wish me luck, and this time, I WON'T be injured!

i use to squat off a 7 inch box all the time i'd bring my stance in about 5 inches on each side to get on the box, i squatted 360+ off a 7 inch box with a 40'' stance, LOTS OF HAMS on a short box
I've seen a 15 year old deadlift 440 lbs. first time ever touching a weight
I've witnessed a begginer increase there total 350 lbs. the first month
I myself can show you men bench pressing 821 lbs. men deadlifting nearly 940 lbs. men squatting 1104 lbs.

So, the box squat was less than your real squat, right? Maybe I'm expecting too much for tomorrow. Maybe 170-175. Oh well. I'm aiming for 180-185.
The box I'm using is 10 1/2 inches high.
