As I have been recovering from a groin tear for several months, this week I thought box squats would be more beneficial than regular squats since more groin muscles are used from the wide stance.
My question is about speed work. I am working with a weight less than my injury-previous IRM percentages. Regardless, today I did 15x2 @ 175 which felt very light. However, this is my first time ever doing speed work. My question is, should I still be spreading the floor through the entire movement? I watched a dave tate vid in which he talked about disengaging the hips when resting on the box, but does that also mean relaxing the outward pressure on my feet?
Also, a lot of reps when exoding up I felt like most of the weight was on the back half of my feet and I almost fell over backwards a few times during lifting. Do I need to lean forward more?
