Great discussion.

Could anyone point me towards a reference which describes the reasoning behind box squats (high and low), board presses and other partial rep moves employed by the westside guys?

I can find explanations about _how_ to do the exercises everywhere, but I'm just trying to figure out why.

I was thinking they were attempts to allow the elasticity of your muscle to dissipate before the concentric portion, but I'm just not sure.

Thanks,
Josh
