A question for anyone - Westside has a lot of info about box squatting and one such article says:
"A lighter weight can achieve a bigger squat with box squatting.
By training at 50-60% of your 1-rep max in a 3-week wave, a large squat can be developed. Three lifters trained with 405-480 for 8-10 doubles with 120 pounds of chain as a reactive method. They all made their first 800+ squat."
Why is it better to use lighter weights when box squatting? is this only applicable when using bands/chains? right now, as above, i'm doing heavy box squats - should i change that up or no?
