How much do trips to the moon add to your total?
The moons gravity is approx 1/6th of the earths. Your best meet lifts would weigh ~67kg all up on the moon. So not a good carryover there man lol
Pay attention to his words
>build raw strength then build technique with your gear
>Lots of quad work
>bands are bad mkay
>paused squats are the shit
>and not a single box squat was done that day
Honestly man, it sounds like you pay attention to the words you WANT to hear.
Bands and chains aren't a magic tool that'll give you awesome lifts. If somebody says that, they're probably selling them. They're a tool use them as such.

"While utilizing accommodating resistance like bands and chains, does enhance force production with barbell lifts, they are not nearly fast enough to improve speed qualities for athletes like throwers or football players" Chad Wesley Smith
Are you a thrower or a football player? Or does your chosen sport involve barbell lifts?
Alot of strong Raw guys in this article have said that you can get strong without them, as the legends of strength sports have demonstrated. But most have used them, and THEN formed an opinion.
You have taken other peoples opinions on these items as your own with any experience with them yourself.
Quads are important. But as studies have shown there is no difference in quadricep activation between a wide stance, and close stance squat. So the posterior chain is important too. Balanced training.
Lilly, in the video Hamburgler mentioned, stated he had only done a HANDFUL of correct box squats in the year he spent with Louie and the WBB crew. A FULL YEAR!! Thats 90+ squat sessions and who knows how many lifts. You have not spent any time at a gym where a coach could watch you box squat and correct your form, so it's a fair assumption in the time you used box squats not a single correct box squat was completed.
I have incorporated bands into training for the last 12 months, chains the last 6. I have made mistakes using both along the way and am learning from them. I also can measure exactly how much tension there is with bands when I need to and not over guesstimate it like some others do.
