Box Squat

AdvancedBodyweight

The box squat has you squat down to a box set around parallel, settle briefly, and drive back up. Sitting to a target teaches consistent depth and a strong hip hinge, while the pause kills momentum so you build raw power out of the bottom. A favorite for developing squat strength and refining technique.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the bar just below shoulder height and place a plyo box a foot or two behind the rack.

  2. 2

    Squeeze your shoulder blades together and brace by breathing into your belly.

  3. 3

    Duck under to rack the bar on the base of your neck, stand it up, and step back to just in front of the box.

  4. 4

    Keep your heels planted and descend by hinging at the hips with your chest up.

  5. 5

    Let your knees track out and slightly forward as you lower.

  6. 6

    Once you reach the box, drive back up to the standing start.
