Just curious if there is indeed a method of using foam blocks for greatest effect.

for the presses, i was using a foam roller that is like 6 inches thick, its kind of the same thing as the neck bad just a little more springy.
for the box squat, i use a real low box then add a foam mat that the gym has, its about 3-4 inches thick and sinks in about 2 inches or maybe more when i box squat on it. Its something louie simmons and others have been playing around with and i think its a great idea.. it really 'sinks' you down at the botton and forces you to keep your knees out and keep a tight arch, combined with the cambered bar that i use it forces me to keep a really good arch.
