box squats

Who here does them?How do you feel they carry over for other lifts?
I will be doing them from now on,hopefully to help my deadlift(hips)and my stone loading(again hips)

One of my weaknesses seems to be hips and hamstrings.Aside from sldl what do you suggest for hamstring strength.Oh yeah and also aside from hamstring curls.I personally dont feel curls do much for strength on your hamstrings.Now dont bash me cause I said that it's my opinion!

i'm a huge fan of glute/ham raises! i used to have very weak hamstrings and it was effecting my play, then i incorporated these into my workouts. huge differance, and they helped my deads, squats, and sprints out a great deal.

here's a link:

the above link shows them from the floor....if you can get your hands on the machine (looks similar to a roman chair) then definitly do it, if not, the above work very well too.

good luck in your training.

cheers

I personally prefer these to any other exercise, though I do enjoy a good SLDL...when I incorporated these into legs a couple of years ago, my explosiveness was more than noticable and my curls improved immensely...good luck
