For today's max effort squat/deadlift session I decided to do cambered bar low box squats. The cambered bar is a great tool to help build posterior chain strength because it tends to pull your forward, forcing your back to pull against the momentum to keep you upright. Basically the bar teaches you to squat upright, plus it is a different stimulus than the straight bar, which is always good when you are trying to force adaptation.

As for box squats, these used to be a staple of my powerlifting training because they are safe to do alone provided the safety racks are postitioned properly. They are also a great drill to build hip and posterior chain power, allowing you to squat deep and low safely.
