Hi I don't think one theory is right or just cause one person is doing it makes it right, but i'm curious to see what everyone thinks.
So I was doing box squats in a new gym the other day 500-550 sitting back and then exploding up. I went to ask one of the older guys who looked like he could spot me without falling over he said he refused and basically said I was dumb for not using a belt and using a box.. His argument was a box puts you into a bad position when you sit on it. So I started to wonder if he was right, but i've followed the west side template for so long and I love it and box squats have really helped me get through plateaus so I don't know. Is it something good for strength, but has more potential to hurting you or is something as long as done with right form will keep you healthy.
Anyway I'm here to learn and i'm always opened to new ideas please let me know what you guys think.
