All this time an aggressive attitude should prevail, not a gentle one. This helps prepare the entire body for what is to come. It is essential for injury prevention.<br>When I coached football, I learned the hard way never to say,  OK men, we are going to do some half speed drills. Everyone had their own idea of what half speed meant. Some went 95%, some went 10%. That is dangerous. I use the same mentality when coaching the Box Squat. Have a controlled aggressive attitude. Be intense even on a warm-up. Don t be gentle or go half way.<br><br>MISTAKE #6<br><br>Bill says that he  banged at the bottom. He also said that he was told to  relax at the bottom for one second. Both of these actions are completely wrong. So wrong, in fact, that these actions, in my opinion, were the principal cause of Bill s injury. The spotters and lifter must work together. The back spotter uses an overhand grip. Do not spot with your hands underneath the lifter s armpits because an experienced back spotter can guide the lifter into a perfect groove (see Figure #8 and #9). <br>Figure #10 shows Coach Shepard pulling slightly back on the bar which helps Matt settle back or ock back. However, notice that Matt continues to pay strict attention to the Six Absolutes. At no time should you relax for an instant . . . let alone for one whole second. You must  Be Tall and stay erect. You must  Spread the Chest at all times to keep the lower back locked into place. Figures #11 & #12 shows Matt rocking forward and up to complete the lift. You should even try to rise up on the toes at the very end to complete a full extension. It would be like a calf raise but done in a coordinated, fluid motion like a form tackle or jumping movement. Although, it is important to be in control. You would not want to take a light weight and jump up in the air. <br><br><br>SOME OTHER MISTAKES<br><br>Never round the lower back as shown in Figure #13. Always Be Tall and Spread the Chest as in Figure #14. Never take your feet off the floor or raise your heels off the floor when settling or rocking back as shown in Figure #15. (My son Matt is shown in the illustrations. He started with the BFS Readiness Program at the beginning of his 7th grade year. Matt is now 26 and works at BFS.)<br><br>WHY WE BOX SQUAT<br><br>The benefits of doing the Box Squat areth. BFS does not recommend deadlifting for junior high and beginning lifters, but for your mid-level lifters and heavy lifters you should get bars with a PSI of at least 135,000. For your extra-strong athletes who are closing in on a 700-pound squat, you will want to consider a bar with 185,000 PSI or more. <br>Special Features: The only special feature for deadlift bars would be an aggressive knurling to enhance the athletes grip. Also, as with all bars, you will want to make sure you do not get bars with shoulder bolts. These bars are notorious for the bolt falling out and causing the sleeves to fall off. This can be very dangerous when doing any lift, but it is especially dangerous when doing heavy deadlifts and heavy squats. <br>Price: Bars with a yield strength of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI are $130 to $150. For your super-heavy lifters, look at spending around $300-the price goes up substantially as5\ثE^Zip3 T@!"*=et%(›)9T1!Z6}u klo~9C,LYoSELF@~Xd28Rc6$#q)ڟ%)\ד|@^8 %yPu,xЊъ7WaD-Ea]1R{cqO1i6$!&S[O;#KyPH@ EWcB:@fPZjL嚳DڍF^r߿ř z5 Ɠ@q-zsbw͕W͊.`clT^4Ͼ py~RA2;vRUU"E+(0Vyx2r"aG$+n19MK ƇsA%o}9h/C yYZ"F9'=shv+;ėu LPC] Olc]19~q\,f +USdERCoO S(,ZIYUJ9#.,/T0TaU伅M IW};G\1@B5}JS)I 4 Lao8Ҙ |$ur_+y.^HOs%֟byI ,1(u; Т;+c+}o~!7QD {Q8FENI-$I-aXJÐ]a/˾ylF`*YENW欀@)s)W#~yhZ:{` RԮv~-MD9oW1֭#s,]6I[mKг1I&J*@+J ijʨVrfOˊI7;L1xe+Jׯ0cLi?h4߯ӶlUd;pmo~/8p~448uFIYG vQאӗclHj6c[f:!؟  FPjE=Ĭca s(RjHtyUn@Q=L?-^6ht&-[lsUk,)#:G05wp^}/ПH*O~Y0kiPzRP: éےoniqKCA=w6ߥm$isc\p cFy8Qe4dSֲl=3C}kd_Tԕ'XP8G߭:l#P981 2cfqϩc&J O9
