Finally, plug the low box squat into the BFS Set-Rep System and start breaking records.<br>The Beginning Athlete. Begin by just sitting on the low box to experience the feel of sitting lower. Next, do a low box squat with just the bar to get used to this very low position and to gain confidence. It will also teach you how to balance properly. <br>There are two variations to experiment with. First, use the box squat technique of sitting and rocking back slightly. Second, try lowering and just slightly touching the box before coming up. After gaining confidence, you may then try a parallel squat. If problems persist, then do the low box squat in place of the parallel squat. In that case, one day of the week do higher box squats and on the other squat day use the low box. However, remember this would be only for the athlete who just cannot parallel squat. The only other reason for doing box squats exclusively is aiding the rehabilitation process of an athlete after knee surgery. <br>I believe that every weight room should now have at least one low box squat. Good luck! Let us know what you think after you have had a while to train with this new depth. Your parallel squat could very well see a nice jump! t matter<br>by Dr. Greg Shepard<br>Years ago I did some BFS <br>Clinics at two high schools in Georgia where Steve Brooks was a successful football head coach. Now he is he backfield coach for Parkview High School, which has one of the winnings football programs in the country. When I contacted Steve recently to set up this article, he asked me if I remembered him. Here is what I wrote to him:<br> Coach Brooks, I have always held you in high esteem as a coach and as a man. But it is your example as a father that I cherish most about our acquaintance. I will always remember looking down at your son Craig in his crib when I stayed in your home. I was overcome and lifted by the Holy Spirit. <br>You see, at this same time I also had a son who was just a baby in a crib. My son, Mark, was healthy. Steve s son was born without eyes or an esophagus. In addition, Craig s brain was not fully functional nor would it ever be normal. It was suggested that Craig be placed under institutional care where he wasn t expected to live very long. Some even hinted at just letting little Craig pass on. However, to Steve and his wife Carol, their son was special and God s gift to them. Craig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and second, for Steve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of Dr. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recently, Coach Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of his son. Craig will be 17 this June; my son Mark will turn 17 in July. Craig can hold hands with his dad and walk around the track. He smiles and can even say a few words. Steve credits his wife Carol as the one who has made Craig s life what it is today.  She has done all of the hard work, he said.  Craig s special ed teacher April has also been a true miracle worker. <br>As I looked at the photo and pondered over life s bigger picture, I reflected upon the importance of gratitude and families.<br>I finished my letter to Steve:  I know that in the afterlife Craig s body and mind will be restored. I know he will thank you for being the father that you are. Families are a forever thing. Later, Steve called me and to
