Decided to give these a go (ultra light for most people here at about 55kg). Placed a low box (the lowest pylo box i could find in the middle of the rack, put the barbell on my back and sat down on the box and got up again... is this roughly correct?
I'm also somehow thinking that i wasn't quite deep enough, despite using like a 12" box! .. (damn big butt and thighs) ... maybe just on parallel.
I found i needed to use a wider stance so my legs comfortably cleared the box, is this right?
I tried sitting down and completely relaxing a few times on the box, but then migrated to just taking a bit of the weight off and then a brief touch of the box... what is correct here?
This felt like it worked my quads more than normal squats...
I do have relatively long femurs compared to my lower legs and torso. (i'm 185cm but from the waist up not much taller than my 165cm girlfriend)
