Yeah, work the back, from the top down! Strong delts, traps, rhomboids... it all counts. So, I just measured my weight bench in a decline position (this is what I box squat onto), it is only 13" off the ground. I'm going to build a box that is about half that height, and work my way down to that. I can easily single leg squat all the way onto my but and back up. The box squat motion though is different. You have to sit BACK, not down.
