Garry (often spelled Garry or Gary) Benford is a highly accomplished American powerlifter and strength coach whose training philosophies—especially his box/Benford squat routines—have influenced lifters seeking systematic strength improvements.

This workout was republished Dec/1998 from POWERLIFTINGUSA.

Benford was inducted into the Powerlifting Hall of Fame in 1989 and achieved elite status as a 198 lb lifter, with personal bests including a 735 lb squat (American Masters record at age 43).

Someone might choose to follow Benford’s squat routine primarily because it is methodical and targeted at increasing raw strength through structured exposure to heavy loads at specific depths, which can enhance neuromuscular adaptation and confidence under heavy weights; his own results provide a real-world example of the progression such a system can yield.
