Back Barbell Step-Ups

When performing back barbell step-ups, it’s essential to find the proper step height before adding any significant load. Begin with an empty bar and a low step, then gradually raise the step height until you reach a position that works best for your mobility, balance, and strength.

Once you’ve determined the ideal height, slowly increase the load—always staying within the prescribed rep range. Remember: the reps dictate the load, not the other way around. Prioritize quality over quantity to get the most out of this movement while minimizing risk.
