I was box squatting on a very low box (approx. 8" box) with a very wide stance, when I experienced an major wardrobe malfunction! The entire back seam of my shorts just gave way just as I got on to the box! Good thing it just went silently, instead of a LOUD rip. Man gotta have to find a new pair of shorts for training. I might try squatting in Spandex!

You've gotta get excited about feeling uncomfortable, you've gotta love feeling slightly uncomfortable, because you know that you're stepping outside the boundaries that you used to create.

I'm quite short (5'6") so a 8" box is about 4-5" below parallel for me. Besides I was hoping that these very low box squats transfer to my deadlifts
