Box squats should be done with 12″ box + plates/mats, or a bench so that your hip crease sits at or just above parallel with your knees.
Use a wider that usual stance, sit back to the box and de-load (but do not exhale or loose tensions) then drive back up explosively. There can be a small/slight rock back and forward on the box to de-load and load the hamstrings out of the bottom.
