Kanishk's Front Box Squats


Pretty good but you are not controlling the descent to the last possible second. That's ok, it's normal. But if you watch closely you see that instead of sitting straight down onto the box you slightly relax before meeting it and slide backwards onto it. We want the same mechanics as with a regular front squat.


Try getting the box a bit more between the legs so you are not worrying about missing it. And go straight down without losing tightness. Try to eliminate that slight drop onto the box and the very slight drift backwards. I don't know exactly what weights were used since I was watching the technique but lighten the weight if necessary.


Once you get better at that height lower it a bit somehow.
