Maybe Doug can look that up.
Now, recommendation for height of a box.
Because the limiting factor of a box squat is the potential range of motion.
So if you take a standard kind of box that you see in the gym or like the Westside barbell squats that you see, very different than the range of motion that somebody who has a full range of motion for a squat can do.
Right, they care about squatting.
I think that's why I bring this up, because I think it's an important conversation.
Because if you just looked at what Westside Barbell is doing, they are training to compete in powerlifting, and they only have to hit parallel.
Just slightly break parallel.
So that's your target.
And come back up.
So that's where they put the box.
And so that's where they put the box.
That's right.
We recommend that people learn to take a fuller range of motion squat.
And so if you already have the ability to, say, go six inches deeper than that box.
Get a lower box.
Get a lower box.
That's right.
Well, and to your point about what we're bringing up about changing direction and how much more force that is on the joints to change those directions.
Do you see more of them now?
