The benefits of the box squat are many. Squatting on a box forces you to pause at the bottom, which recruits more muscle fibers to get you out of the hole and back to the top, equaling more strength and growth. Next, you can sit back farther than you could if a box wasnt there. This places more stress on the hamstrings and glutes. It can be an excellent method to assist with poor flexibility and range of motion. Another advantage is that you control how low youll go in your descent by adjusting the box height. Its a great tool for teaching yourself proper squatting technique; and the heavier your squat gets, the more important technique is.
