Doing box squats for a few weeks since I'm not doing well driving through my heels on regular squats.  It's odd but when I was warming up for the box squats with 225 I felt it almost entirely on my quad.  As I bumped the weight up more though I realized that I had to drive through my posterior chain or I wasn't getting off the box. Felt good.  I also have a bunch of videos from this, for form checks on the box squats & power snatches.  I'm just waiting for youtube to process them.  I got 160 for 3 this week on the snatches, I fired them off pretty easily.  Put 170 on the bar, stepped out and realized I was way too tired at that point.  Finished with some lateral battling ropes since I enjoy that type of thing. 




Here, watch some videos:
