      This is the first time I’ve done box squats with the safety bar. I need a little refresher as to whether I should actually be sitting down on the box and use my hips to stand up, or simply tap the box with my butt and push me knees out on the ascent.

      Feedback welcome.

      Joe,

      They look pretty good, but we can always improve.

      Let’s work on this and only this for now:
      You are SMASHING into the box.

      Sit back and let the box be a surprise.
      Move at a consistent tempo, and control your way to the box.
      We want to touch the box softly.

      More cues in this series:
