    Is this the Starting Strength version of a Box Squat ?
    Every box squat demo I have watched or performed has you sit on the box relax the hips and then contract out of the box (static/relaxed overcome by dynamic)

    • @chrislaform211
      @chrislaform211 5 лет назад

      Really enjoy Rip's videos. I was under the understanding that the box is just to break the eccentric part of the movement basically turning it into a vertical leg press

    • @aba192
      @aba192 5 лет назад +1

      the cue is to relax ONLY the hip flexors.. if you're doing it raw even old school westside lifters didn't quite sit back, they kept the back angle slightly forward and had the knees at around toe to 'foot knuckle' level.

    • @Audioventura
      @Audioventura Месяц назад

      yes but obviously you can't do this with a heavy load, you would expose the spine to the load directly if you relaxed your muscles at the bottom. Both variants are "correct" but have vastly different purposes: The one you mention is a way to coach people how to squat. What Rips shows here is a variant for injured lifters or those looking for a a load reduction.

    Rip the bar path looked forward of the middle of the foot is this normal in a box squat?

    • @startingstrength
      @startingstrength  7 лет назад +9

      Michael Chung the bar is a small percentage of her body weight, so the bar will he forward of the mid-foot when the correct back angle is achieved. As the weight gets heavier and the combined COM approaches the barbell, the bar will move closer to the mid foot.

    • @michaelchung9383
      @michaelchung9383 7 лет назад

      right, i remember read about that in the beginning of starting strength how the COM without the bar is at the middle of the hips but with the barbell the COM moves more upward toward the bar the heavier the bar is. by the way im looking to become a starting strength coach soon. i will be coming to one of your seminar soon.

    Hi Rip! I have a question, you mention the box squat is harder and shouldn't be performed by a novice. In one of the videos featuring Gus ("it's never too late" I think the video is called) Gus is sort of box squatting on a bench, so I'm curious to know the reasoning behind it, is it because she's at a more advanced age and so the rules change to accommodate for her physical form?
    Thanks!

    • @startingstrength
      @startingstrength  7 лет назад +8

      Isaac Campos different situation. People who aren't strong enough to squat will use a progressively shorter box until the squat is below parallel.

  • @michaelkarayan6652
    @michaelkarayan6652 7 лет назад +1

    Hey Mr. Rippetoe, huge fan and potential offspring of yours here, love your work. I need some advice regarding good morning-ing the weight excessively, in that I lose the bar forwards and grind reps out as I fatigue. This happens at 80%, I'm looking down, staying in the hips and maintaining a more horizontal back angle. I've tried resetting but as soon as I go above my bodyweight the problem is consistent. Max Aita suggested I strengthen my quads and if it helps, my working weight on deadlifts is a hundred lbs heavier than my squat

    • @michaelkarayan6652
      @michaelkarayan6652 7 лет назад

      And this is pertaining to the rippetoe low bar back squat, no box.

    • @dalem04
      @dalem04 7 лет назад +2

      Drive with the chest more. Don't not drive with the hips, do that, just also drive the chest up. Also, make sure your upper back is very tight. No, tighter.

      why would you do front squats with a box ? front squats are assistance exercise for most people. If you are relying on front squats only you might hit a plato very quickly.

    • @CankleCankle
      @CankleCankle Год назад

      Yes I do them occasionally in this same manner with heels elevated, the main thing is to use the box as a stopping point instead of a pad to sit on.

    Hi Rip. Would this be the optimal squat method for someone with thoracic spine injuries? Normal squats @185 irritate my herniated disc(s), so I recently switched to box goblet squats with an upright spine throughout the motion. No pain, but the weight is only @50 currently. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    • @CankleCankle
      @CankleCankle Год назад

      I would suggest cable squats as there will be less spinal compression. You can hold the cable out front like a goblet squat or if you have access to a double cable, you can hold the cables out to the sides.

    • @catron777
      @catron777 Год назад

      @CankleCankle Thank you, thats a great suggestion. I've been lucky in the 6 years since. My spine has improved and I can now barbell back squat 225x10.

    • @jamesbecker9573
      @jamesbecker9573 2 года назад +2

      I think if youre box squatting to fix a weak back youre missing the point of a box squat. a weak back is almost never the reason of a lack of progress. weak hips often is tho.

      What if the box is below parallel?

    • @tezwoacz
      @tezwoacz 7 лет назад +2

      dooshtoomun when you will be squatting high 1 rep maxes, you will notice how important it is to be accustomed to weights you are carrying, for powerlifters box squats parallel and up are an important means to get their nervous system used to handling such weights. This is part of the reason why equipped powerlifting is so different (training wise) from raw, its very important to have you body feel comfy under extremely high weights

  • @docoftheworld
    @docoftheworld 7 лет назад

    Rip, i am a huge fan. Hats off to you and respect. I have a question:
    I was obese, sedentary, and a piece of lard-glob from age of 22 to age 29. Then, i picked up barbell at age of 29 and started doing the big lifts (now i am 31). so for 2 years i tried to self-teach myself the squat and struggled with finding depth, thus i used a little box just to touch and go to feel the adequate depth. Now i do not use it anymore. Do you think this jeopardized my correct squat form? I stalled at 225 lbs for 8 reps (for 3 sets) after 2 years of suboptimal training (due to stress and work that impedes proper training).
    Thanks for your insight.
