Why do box squats? Because it will make you use more wight so when you go back to regular squats you will have a lot stronger legs, so your can get those massive legs that you are lacking and heres how to do them.
First, push the gluts rearward as far as possible. With a tight back arch to descend to the box. Push your neck into your traps. Push your knees apart to maximally activate the hips. When sitting on the box, the shins should be straight up and down or even past perpendicular. This places all the work on the hamstrings, gluts, hips, and low back. These are the precise muscle groups that do a very large percent of the squat. After sitting completely on the box, some glut and hip muscles are relaxed somewhat. Then forcefully flex the abs, hips, and gluts and jump off the box. To ascend correctly, push the traps into the bar first. This will flex the back muscles, then the hips and gluts, and finally the legs. If you push with the legs first, you will be in a good morning position because the gluts will raise first, causing you to bend over, so don’t remember its just like sitting up from a chain.
