Box Squat (15in Box)5x10@125
GM’s 3x5@125
Right front hip flexor is STILL giving me trouble, right where it attaches into my hip. I sometimes detest being old. Ah well.
Surpisingly, a 5 gal pail is 15in and that is what I use for my ‘box’. Works perfectly[/quote]
Hmmmm…and I do have a few of those.
Are you going touch and go? Or actually sitting back?[/quote]
With the main sqauts, as soon as my ass touches it, I reverse direction. Its the only way for me to know for sure that I’m parallel. Without a guide, I tend to stop short as the weights go up. When I use it for box squats, I actually sit back on it, pause, then go up.

I do all my MPs standing. Do you notice more isolation on the delts when sitting? Either way, 170x7 is good lifting.[/quote]
When I actually go to the gym, I do them standing. In my basement, I have to do them seated. As for iso, I hadn’t really thought about it. I know standing, I tend to make it a push press. Seated, that isn’t possible so probably more iso seated, more of a full body lift standing. Seated seems to help my bench more, however, as I get more tri work out of it.
The biggest differences I notice between seated and standing is a) standing does more core work (as you mentioned) b) while I don’t do a push press I think that flexing the legs does give an extra umph to the standing version c) the seats that I have used are not completely vertical…I arch on it, leaning back on the initial portion, to clear my chin (just like on standing millies).
Once I have cleared my face, though, I go more vertical on standing, but continue to lean back into the seat when seated.
Not sure it matters. Just the things I have noticed with myself.

I wonder if a bucket would hold my big @ss with the additional weight!?
Strick- If you use a bucket for your box, please video it in High Def…I think I can get it on Americas Funniest Home Videos, pick up 10 G’s for x-mas!!!
