http://articles.elitefts.com/articles/training-articles/efs-classic-squatting-from-head-to-toe/
The love of the box squat comes from the fact that it allows WPO powerlifting guys to mimic a competition squat while lifting in training without the suit.
It does have some uses with athletes though. It's very useful for teaching lankier guys who can't squat easily to load the posterior chain.
He says a lot of bullshit in that article though. Like, the quads are not that important for squats because if they were, we'd all be using leg press weights in the squats. I mean, you don't need me to start debunking that, right?
