The box squat has been in the domain for powerlifting for quite some time. I’ll give the popularity of Louie Simmons and The Westside Powerlifting Methods credit for that.
What we need to recognize is that the box squat is a much more versatile exercise if we can think differently.
We can box squat to increase vertical jump.
We can box squat to increase squat depth.
We can box squat to rehabilitate the pelvic floor.
We can box squat to substitute for plyometrics in some cases.
In this video, I introduce the concepts that make the box squat such a useful exercise. I get the feeling that this will be a series because we use this exercise in so many different ways at IFAST.
