Barbell Step Up

IntermediateBarbell

A loaded step-up with the barbell across your back, driving up onto a box one leg at a time. It builds the quads, glutes, and hamstrings while demanding balance and coordination, and the bar ramps up the strength challenge.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the bar just below shoulder height and stand with your back to it.

  2. 2

    Duck under to rack it on your upper back, lift it off, and step forward to stand a few inches in front of a plyo box.

  3. 3

    Shift your weight to one leg and lift the other foot onto the box.

  4. 4

    Keeping your torso upright, push through the box leg to bring your trailing foot up beside it.

  5. 5

    Reverse the steps to lower back to the floor, then repeat.
