  • Proper form can be learned through box squats. A lot of people aren't fans of the practice but that is usually because of poor technique and form that can lead to injury. Box squatting done right builds a strong posterior chain and joint health. We team up with some of our firefighter friends from Rescue Methods to check out how to correctly add this tool into your workouts.

    The more I listen to Matt Wenning and apply, the more I appreciate the effectiveness of his training philosopy and methods.

    I weigh over 460 pounds (ca. 209 kilogram) and did squats yesterday for 4 sets at 12 reps with just my weight and now my quads are blown out, wish I had seen this beforehand. Great video thank you.

    Yup I teach my physical therapy patients a box squat variation. It’s so much easier to learn for the reasons you listed . My cue is to sit back like your sitting down to the toilet and not the edge of the toilet.

    One thing people don't talk about with free squats vs box squats is the level of how fucked you are with box squats if you don't come up compared to free squats.

    Matt, quick question. Stance width. Do we use the same stance width as when we squat w/o the box or do we take a wider stance?

    I just started implementing it into my training.Decided not to rest on the box and just do it until my booty touches it and don't go all the way back. I feel it to much in my knees that way.

    I’ve just started Box squatting and I’m feeling the benefits, but is it normal for someone to be 100lbs weaker off a Box than a free squat?
    I’m presuming it’s because I’m mainly using undeveloped posterior chain muscles rather than quads and eventually the weights will catch back up?

    • @kaariem
      @kaariem 5 лет назад

      Depends on how deep you're box squatting. If you box squat at your free squat bottom position you will box squat less than free squat probably.

    Matt, how low do you recommend a box be for raw lifters?

    • @Marniuhhh
      @Marniuhhh 4 года назад

      The height of the box can vary. It depends on what you're doing. If you're training technique, you can set the height to competition depth. Other heights on the box can be used to train sticking points.
