i've heard that during football season it's best to do box squats instead of regular squats. is this true? how exactly do you do them and what is the difference in weight between the two?

box squats are easy to learn proper squatting technique. they also give a good reference point to drop to, and can be raised or lowered depending on your specific needs.
