BTW, since you are not doing them right now I thought it time to put up some box squat notes for the future. If and when you do go back to box squats I'd like to see you use a higher box so that you could muster more control on the decent. Not only in terms of safety, but in terms of developing glute, ham, (and adductor) strength it is going to be advantagious to you to work at a height that flexiblility and control is not as much an issue at the bottom (one of the major reasons you come down on the box so hard....the butt winking) and MASTER that control at heavy weights rather than the arbitrary application of a low height for the sake of it. You biggest problem is at the start though, because you begin dropping so fast there is not way you are going to be able to put on the brakes. It is much easier to decellerate a weight that is already under control then to decellerate one that is going ballistic and at the top is where you want to establish that control at the get go.

What you will want to do is to basically try to do the whole thing in SLOW MOTION. Where you slowly drop the hips back and you slowly begin the decent. Just the intention of doing it all this way will make a huge difference. This is also a reason why it looks like you are not "sitting back" at the beginning....because you begin dropping so fast. Your body has to adjust it's positioning to keep the center of mass in proper alingment. All you need to do is concentrate on beginning the lift by breaking at the hips (which you know) a, slowly, let nature take it's course.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
