Principles of Functional Exercise

(Ben Green) #1

Alternative: Box Squats



  • Wrong:
    Tendency to sit on bench with weights. Rounding the back

  • When you perform box squats, position the barbell on your shoulders then position
    yourself near a box, or bench, as shown above. Descend under control until you feel
    the bench touching you then push through the weight upwards until you reach the initial
    position again.



  • Never sit or rest on the bench with the weight on your back! Remember to keep your back as
    straight as possible and your abs tightened throughout the lift.
