Oh, yes, I remember you saying that's what you were using the belt for. I've never used a belt for that so I don't know....

The height looks ok...12 to 13 inches is good for most for general purposes. For the box all you need basically is a strong but lightweight 'crate'. That's why they call them "box" squats. Actually, milk crates make a pretty good option. They are about the right height and you can strap several of them together and place weights underneath them so they don't slide around. Course you can buy ready made adjustable ones.

Since you workout at home like me and you don't need to carry the thing around to the gym and such you can pretty much do whatever it takes just so you come up with a good solid and large enough thing. Mine is actually much heavier than people would usually use.

You are not rocking that far back but really you want to sit down with basically no movement to the rear. It's pretty easy once you remind yourself to do it. As always lighten the weight if that's what is needed.

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