Zealots will tell you thay its not a box squat unless its at parallel, you sit way back so that your shins are vertical with a wide stance, knees way out and you pause on the box keeping full tension before exploding up
Which is near useless for increasing your raw squat and will alter your groove
IMO paused squats teach you everything a box squat is meant to teach you, except you can't cheat by rocking, and you don't mess with your groove. Paused squats FTW.
If you're trying to improve your squat, mimic the lift. Don't sit on the box, touch the box and explode up. Don't rock/sit back/relax on the box, or it defeats the purpose.
How about doing warm up sets using box squats and then working sets regular squats. Would that be beneficial?
There is no such thing as "groove" unless you are a goldfish who is incapable of remembering whether you are doing a box squat or regular squat.
