Box Squatting Could Do No Wrong.

As A Skill Coach, And As A Strength & Conditioning Coach.
I Do Both!
Big Difference.
The Box Squat Is Just Another Tool Out Of My Tool Box.
Just Like A Heavy Bag When Training Skill.
The Box Squat Is A Tool That Puts A High Amount Of Focus On The Hips And Hamstrings.
And What Are One Of The Many Ways We Coach It?
By Sitting Back On The Box, And Stopping All Momentum.
All While Staying Engaged, Under Maximum And Submaximum Weight.
Training The "Static Over Dynamic" Component By De-emphasizing The Stretch Reflex Within A Squatting Movement.
As Stated In The Video Above, A Lift That Builds "Starting Strength".
This Is One Of The Many Of What This Tool Has To Offer.
The Box Squat That Is.
And In Doing So, We Get To Hit The Same Depth In The Lift, Every Son Of A Bitch'En Time.
Less Margin Of Error, When Teaching And Building Fighters Submaximum And Maximum Strength.

The Exercises I Choose Have To Elicit The Greatest Carryover Into The Ring, Cage, Or Mat.
Having The Least Amount Of Risk.
