⚡️Building Up Your Step-Ups
In the world of Step-Ups, there's a clear line that's drawn in the sand: Step-Up and Planted Step-Up.
Both will undoubtedly help you build single-leg strength, stability and power. In addition, they both offer a nice option for developing single-leg strength specifically at deep hip flexion and knee flexion angles. Honestly, I think Step-Ups are one of the most slept on exercises in the S&C game.
Step-Ups: Both feet START down on the floor. The working leg steps up onto the box and the trail leg follows. Then, you simply reverse that sequence on the way back down.
Planted Step-Ups: The working leg STARTS with the foot on top of the box. The trail leg steps up onto the box, and then, you reverse that sequence.
Subtle technical difference, but it does make a big difference from a loading standpoint. My favorite ways to load these Step-Up options: 2 DB's/KB's. When you're really ready for a challenge, lock in with a barbell on your back or SSB.
