    How do you feel about DE box squats instead of the recovery squats on the middle day in the texas method program?

    Whats your take on DE box squats in general?

    I use them, I coach them, and I program them for many people. But they are NOT a light day exercise unless you're doing them wrong.

    Follow the recommendations in PP for this one. Use the DE Box squats in lieu of the intensity day to start out with, and as you become more proficient in them then they can be used in place of the volume day perhaps with some small amounts of acommodating resistance like bands.

    I think I gave a recommendation to someone here about sensible way to rotate volume squatting (i.e. 5x5), DE Box Squatting, and low vol/high int squats for 1-5rm based on the info provided in PP. I'll see if I can dig it up.
