Step-Up Variations

[@kennyheimbuch8686]

The reverse step-up at 3:19 is excellent. Its effect on the VMO is similar to a sissy squat without the excess patellar strain. I like doing this off a decline sometimes.

great information, a little too many people talking, interrupting and giving info., it would be nice if it was more organized, like for example i.e. "Bill is going to show a transverse example of a step up" and then let Bill talk, or "John is going to show a reverse step up", and then let John talk, etc. It just would help the novice process the information better. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video guys! After three back surgeries I switched from heavy squats to these types of step ups. For maintaining mass, I've been tuning it up by utilizing a dip belt attached to a cable machine, pulling me slightly forward but with the weight on my hips. I took this from an article I read in the 80's about a Bulgarian Olympic Team that used these with heavy bars stepping up on a cinder block but with high reps. Reebok step with three risers does the trick for 20-30 reps per leg or try the 10x10x10 method. Unbelievable pump. Like the guy in the dark shirt said, you see too many people trying to do these with a riser that's too high.

Yep he was definitely slowing his momentum to show off his calves lol.

Great imformaton. I can't do lunges because it hurts my knees

[@dgalaviz88]

Can you explain what is the benefit to the upper body by adding free weights (not a bar) to the step up?

[@ricardorondon5341]

I've seen some trainers have their clients use the step up exercise, but instead of having that back leg hanging out and relaxed, they drive it up into a knee up. In my opinion this takes the focus off the step up leg and puts it on the leg that is coming up into that knee up and I find that it makes the exercise less effective. What do you guys think?

[@chaosevolution]

Are step ups more quad or glutes dominant?

[@MindPumpTV]

Depends on how you do them.

[@rickyali1228]

Love these guys excellent stuff

[@beesplaining1882]

So much talk of squats in this.

[@REE872]

Thanks for explaining things properly! I will be stepping back for glutes!!! lol!

[@nemonemo3129]

[@riccarrasquilla379]

[@ajaxSAF]

You guys have great knowledge and you focus on the right things...but three guys just free balling it is not easy to watch

Justin's expression at 1:25

[@Lilsunshinebaby]

Super fuckin helpful! Thanks

[@Oh6Torch]

Ok good exercise but how does one progress? Hold dumbbells, wear a weighted vest? No other exercise isolates your quads like leg extensions. It just got a bad rap because morons lift on them beyond their capabilities and injure themselves. While using a lot of swinging momentum.

I rather pay more for bread, beef, and gas than have Trump.

Yeshua Hamashiach is God in the flesh, the Son of God, the Word of God, and he died so that you may be presented blameless in the sight of the Father. And so you may inherit his kingdom. The LORD Yeshua Hamashiach is the only way to the Father and his kingdom. Repent of your sins accept him into your life as your LORD and Savior before it's too late, every day is not guaranteed. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. May God bless you all.

Here's a functional (and better) alternative to everything in this video: climb a fucking mountain. That's it. That's the exercise.

[@albstare]

No gym in my area has one of those unfortunately.

[@andersbjrnsen7203]

no concentric load on the posterior chain from doing that.
