Box Squat

A type of squat where the lifter lowers onto a box before standing back up, aiding in learning proper squat depth.

Instructions

• Begin with feet shoulder-width apart and a box behind you.
• Descend into a squat by bending at the hips and knees, moving your hips back.
• Lightly sit on the box, maintaining tension in your lower body.
• Push through the heels to stand back up to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Allowing the knees to cave inward.
• Sitting too heavily on the box, losing tension.
• Not engaging the core throughout the movement.
