Which is harder, or which is supposed to be harder? Box squat feels safer since you have something stopping your descent, but you lose the stretch reflex if you do the box squat correctly by not doing touch and go or rocking back and forth to give yourself catapult energy off the box.
I switched to box squatting since I want to train myself to squat with a vertical shin and having something to land on is the only way I’ll get used to sitting back and pushing through my heels. I haven’t maxed the box squat yet but the numbers are similar to my regular squat at the moment for rep work.
