When performing the box squat, an athlete generally takes a wider than shoulder width stance, a low bar position, loads the hamstrings back and down, keeps the knees out over the toes, and exhibits a bit more forward lean of the torso. This places a TREMENDOUS amount of stress on the glutes, hamstrings, and low back, making it a very hip dominant exercise (not to say that the quads are not engaged). It’s the posterior chain that has the greatest overall effect on athletic performance and posture, so don’t neglect it. If you have been focusing more on your anterior chain, throw some box squats in to your routine to bring you backside up to par. #CrossFit #strong #cfhardknox #squats
