For another, where is it written that you can't get injured doing box squats? We know one place where it IS written that you CAN get injured doing them - Starting Strength, 3rd. edition.
Also, no matter how strong these very "strong dudes" are, they're leaving an awful lot of strength on the table by not doing regular squats. And as we know, not all strong dudes actually know what they're doing. Do they actually know how to squat correctly?
If they're really worried about pushing it with squats, I don't see why they don't just stick to 5s and maybe two 3s and never run it out to lower reps than that, so they're never worrying about pulling something going for a PR 1.
