Yeah, DE box squats are DE box squats. I wouldn't automatically assume DE squat were off a box. You can certainly do free DE squats. It's about the load being used.

There is actually a different reason, if you think about it, to do a dynamic movement free or to do it from a dead stop whether off a box or pins or whatever. The thing about doing something from dead stop..is that automatically will take more pure starting strength. I guess you can call that explosivitey. As opposed to a mixture of pure starting strength and elastic response. So if you do box squats DE you you can see a different specific training response than a free squat DE...

I guess true starting strength would always be a mixture of course but what I mean here is the abiltiy to initiate a movement from a dead stop sans "momentum".
I am probably using some of the terminology wrong but you catch my drift.

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