Been doing a lot more box squats lately, excited to see the effects.

Great info.

What amazes me is how Louie says they squat 800 in comp despite never touching more than 500 in training. You’d think that 300 extra would feel like a house on the CNS but it obviously does not cause a problem.

tremendous video

[@paulnikeqt]

oh yes there is more !

[@Sully1111]

What’s he mean by push out the knees ? Like push out to left and right ?

[@johntrains1317]

I wonder if Louis opinion on the extreme back arch has changed over time.

[@manuelsoza2292]

I know Louie says he’ll do doubles, 8 to 10 sets. Just trying to confirm, because the guy in the vid does 2 sets of 10. I’m assuming if it is correct what he said, that’ll be done on the max effort day?

185x10....warm up for me in 1988. Repped it carelessly too fast. Compression injury. Right sciatic nerve pain. Ruined what I love to do; lift. Wasn't leisurely for me. I was going for gains. HEED MY ADVICE. GO DOWN SLOW IF YOU INSIST ON DOING THESE

[@mikeschmidt4800]

I'm glad they're better for you, because, they are so much easier than ass to grass.

[@MattmanAZ09]

Only watch west side guys box squat.
