Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Kettlebell Box Squat.
A squat variation where you hold a kettlebell at chest height and deliberately sit back onto a box before standing again. The box provides a consistent depth target and teaches proper hip-hinge mechanics while building lower-body strength.
The Kettlebell Box Squat is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
