Guys last night I smoked 325 on low box squats, with no gear, on my ME squat day, this is a new PR for me and should have me on my way to a goal of 400 LB squat at my meet in October. I just had to tell someone that would understand.
Thanks
Congrats man! How low is low for you? I’m just curious if I should be going lower than I already am…(only a bit below parallel…)
About an inch below parallel
3 inches below parallel.
At southside, on DE squat days, we set the box around 1" below parallel. On ME squat day we normally go with narrow stances and bury the squat on a box several inches below parallel. I use the same box height that the other guys in my group to on ME day, i am 6’3, the next tallest is maybe 5’9
Nice one, kudos to you man. And as you say, only certain people understand what it means!
I box squat at similar heights as Oguard describes, DE 1" below and I use a 6" below for my ME low box with close stance which is almost ass to the grass for me. This is just the way BigM always seemed to do them in his logs, so I started doing the same.
