You should really just know by your own (raw) liftingIf you're the kind of person who finds squatting upright very easy, putting weight on your squat easy, but your deadlift is only a little bigger or even the same as your squat, you're probably got relatively short femurs for your torso If you're the kind of person who (despite mobility, shoes etc) always has a little lean to your squat but your deadlift is much bigger than it, and you put weight on your deadlift quite easily, you've probably got relatively long femurs/gangly legs These are generalisations but hold fairly tight as long as mobility is good and you are not new to lifting Also, i dont really see why it matters lol ? sure you just do what's strongest? like oh i'll try squatting wider/nattorw, wow i'm 10kg stronger on that.. i'll do more of it. ? | ||

Member 4803, 410 posts | This isn't your first post about box heights. Why do you think you need to box squat at all? Your best bet would be to do plenty of plain raw squatting and improve your base level of strength. | ||
