Box squats - box real low and did these for speed

some warmups without box, then

3 x 135
3 x 155
3 x 175
3 x 185
3 x 185
3 x 185
3 x 185
3 x 185
3 x 185

calf raises in between most sets.

Looking back, numbers don't show improvement on my box squats, but they are way, way better. I've lowered the box (I use those step squares and put a 25 pound plate on top- today I only used two of those things, so its gotta be somewhere around 8 inches off the ground). I also sit completely on it for all reps on this day, as opposed to moving the weights up and going "touch and go". Then I try to go up as fast as I can.
