No I'm not cambodian
OK, so I was having a chat to a my cousin the other day over the phone and he has started doing some strength training. I was telling him about how I was thinking of building some adjustable deadlift boxes etc, so we started talking about box squats, we were wondering whether a box should be initially set up so that the person should be just below parallel, at parallel or above parallel when first doing them.
My train of thought was that the box squat is used to teach numerous things, but mainly to get glute and hamstring activation in your squat, so parallel would be best. My cousin agreed but his train of thought was that it would be primarily used to teach depth, so the same but below parallel a bit, maybe an inch or so.
I don't really know TBH, so which is it?
Both? either or? or activate glute/ham? or primarily depth?
Just wondering really
