Why u frustrated tool?
I guess I'll wait for Pob to chime in but I really can't see how box squats could negatively impact my pulls. If anything the ham/glute activation from box should carry over and help I'd think? If it was a matter of over-reaching or fatigue, they both would be getting hit.When's the last time u comp squatted? U think all these box squats are having a negative affect on your pull? I'm just thinking out loud here. Maybe it's time for a week off from pulling... has anything changed with your training? Anything at all?

Boy I wasn't feeling that great today. Tootin all over the place (hence the super light box squats). 14" box is also way lower than I've ever gone before. Top of leg past parallel. Just used the light weight and low box as "prehab" for tomorrow's leg session.
Energy was zapping out hard and fast. Dropped the weight down on bench so that I could at least get my sets in. Not a great day but I tried to make the most of it. Hoping I just ate something bad and not getting sick.
Every single bench/box/stool was taken at the gym when I went to do box squats tonight. So I started off with regular squats until something opened up. Boy it felt weird. But good. Im always going to be a quad heavy squatter but I can definitely tell I've balanced it out a lot. Adductors were killing me again but I pushed as far as I felt comfortable. Definitely gonna be dedicating a lot more time to getting this fixed.
