The box back squat offers several benefits:
- Improved Technique: Using a box helps ensure you reach the correct depth in the squat, promoting better technique and form.
- Lower Body Strength: It targets the muscles of the lower body, particularly the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, enhancing overall leg strength.
- Increased Power: By pausing on the box, you reduce momentum and increase the need for explosive power to stand back up, which can improve athletic performance.
- Safety: The box provides a consistent stopping point, reducing the risk of going too low and injuring your knees or lower back.
- Focus on Specific Weak Points: It allows you to work on particular segments of the squat movement, especially the bottom position, which can help overcome sticking points in your lift.
