Blog postIn this episode of The Iron Roots Podcast, I get into the History behind the box squat.
I also share how we use the box squat at The Underground Strength Gym along with proper application of the box squat.
I see a LOT of mistakes with the use of the box squat, including when I see footage from D1 University weight rooms. That is NO good.

Blog postIt's awesome to see how strength training has exploded, very much thanks to the internet. On the flip side, I still struggle with being the most fired up guy in the room. At age 43, I should NOT have more fire than the 15 year olds.
Those younger years are like bottling up the energy of a rocket ship, you can't let them go to waste, not for 1 day. The things I've seen on social media and heard about in globo gyms downright scares me.
So in this article, I want to address attit -
