Overview

The barbell squat to a box is an exercise that targets the quads. It is performed by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and a barbell across your back. You then bend your knees and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground, then push back up to the starting position. The box is used to help you control the descent and ascent of the movement, and to provide a target for your heels to reach. This exercise is a great way to build strength and size in your quads.
