We just used it to get a little moderate stepping everyday. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgAz8z9Y03AXTl_xgiCmYWfRKpnpW8nYG But after a family member had some medical issues and getting into bed and out of bed (with a really high 28” above the floor matress ) we added a little fluorescent glow in the dark tape to the edges and they now can get into and out of bed safely! What a difference this little stepper has made for them. and we still use it for daily moderate exercise routine also.
The FIRM exercise videos by Anna and Cynthia Benson put this in nearly all their videos starting in the 80s into the 90s. Les Mills started them earlier than that. Also, the errors you demonstrate can be simply the box is too tall--not so much for the individual's height, but also their strength. Working with a shorter box to build strength will allow gradual height increase and weight plate increase, even for shorter athletes.
I use a 20” box with a dumbbell in same hand and then opposite hand. 20” might be a little high, but I do a lot of hiking where I have to step pretty high up on rocks higher than 20”.
In your opinion is loading up on this exercise beneficial? I could probably throw two 45’s on the bar but with my limited knowledge I just don’t see why I should at the moment. BUT if there is a benefit (other than my ego) then I guess I’ll throw some heavier weights on the bar.
Ran across this video randomly. Liked and subscribed because of the Dilla shirt but excellent content. I literally did step ups today at the gym before I came across this video
The dumbbells take a bit of the instability out of the movement but still a worthy substitute. I do a lot of body weight step ups with higher steps to focus on range of motion also.
doesn't matter much. what matters is brace your core tight, focus on driving the opposite knee up while also pushing the step/box down. keep your torso tight all the time. neutral spine.
I do this with a 25-pound kettle bell in each hand. Great exercise although the bulgarian split squat is probably a bit more efficient overall for hitting the quad.
Its alright but id do squats first, and after squats do a compound lift that hits the hamstrings. (Romanian dl or good morning) other exercises seem solid

4:16 I totally see myself there....! Falling down backwards 🤣🤣
I do weighted stair climbs, first one step at a time and then two steps.

Thanks, bro
I find that discs in a rucksack are easy and safe.

The Dilla shirt won me.

Awesome video! I need to incorporate step-ups into my training. What about using dumbbells instead of barbell?

That dilla shirt tho
This transfers well over to the blocks in sprinting right?
not rly
Do you lean forward or upright? Focusing on glutes.

These are god damn hard lmao, i squat 120kg but legit can't load these, since I only have a 24inch box
That’s 6-10" higher box than the 14-18" he recommends. I bet they get much harder with 24".
Weighted step-ups or single leg squats?
My website isn’t working 😱
Peak Strength App will be arriving soon 💪
Amazing
Soviets/Russians have been doing step-ups since the 1960s.
That’s a long time. Probably why they’re too tired to win a war in Ukraine.
@@soronos8586hahahahaha!
How tall are you man?
Why not just body weight?
Progressive overload
Yes to start
Bulgarians or step-ups?!
Glutes are the largest, not strongest
The jaw muscle is by far the strongest muscle in our body. Just my 2 cents.
The heart is actually.
No its the tongue. You can break down and destroy and build up
The masseter muscle in our jaws indeed is the strongest muscle. But for the purpose of training, he's not wrong, glute muscle is strong AF.
What happens when your 6 feet 8 inches
you tell us, we all want to know.
How am i not subscribed to this channel
I know, me too.
Haha…I’m surprised I wasn’t already, I only noticed after seeing your comment! Thanks dude
