Barbell Box Squat

Squat down onto the box to break up the eccentric and concentric phases, pause for a split second without relaxing core tightness, then explode up forcefully to full hip extension.

Key points

  • Control descent and sit back onto the box
  • Pause briefly to eliminate the stretch reflex
  • Drive through the floor explosively on the ascent

Common mistakes

Rocking forward off the box or collapsing torso tension while seated.
