are box squats safe? what's the deal with spinal compression?
Ello, Im a carpenter, so before I was doing lockup/fix which involves - door hanging, architrave, skirting, shelving, eves, wall straightening, cladding ect. Now with my new employer im doing framing which is basically the timber frame, flooring, trusses. Its outside, and yeah Australia is a sauna in summer.
Bench: 118.5KG --- 3x5
Box squat: 110KG --- 3x5
Chins: BW + 5KG --- 8, 8, 8
Havent benched for 3 weeks as I hurt my elbow at work so I reset a few KG. Fucking squatting, Im going to stick to box squats.

Alot of strong people do them with more weight than I will ever do. I only touch my bum on box, more as a gauge for depth.
