The reverse band box squat is a variation of the box squat and an exercise used to strengthen the muscles of the legs.
The use of bands when performing reverse band box squats provides assistance while you’re at the bottom of the movement. This can be helpful if you’re trying to overload the top portion of the movement without fear of failing at your weaker part of the lift.
The box used in the reverse band box squats provides an external cue on when to reverse the movement. This can further limit the range of motion and keep constant tension on the top portion of the exercise.
Reverse band box squats are primarily used by the powerlifting community, but can be used by any training population looking to improve their overall squat personal record.
