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.

I'm.... ok I guess you get it. lol

Sounds like box squats are probably where its at in this case since the whole point of the DE movement is to train explosiveness or fast twitch fibres as they call them in techno terms.
