Thanks your video really helped me, I started this exercise around about 6 to 8 day with dumbells and I noticed there is no stress on my legs and started to think this exercise is useless therefore I searched for this exercise and found your video. And after that I can't easily do more then 4 to 6 reps with dumbells and came to know that this exercise was not useless, I was not doing it properly. Thank u so much.

When we use barbell wid heavy weights, while going upwards we need to bend forward (hip hinge) for maintaining proper balance and load on subtaler bone

I actually don't like the cue to keep the body upright. You want to bend forward with the angle of the step. This will engage the gluteals a bit more as they move the body from a flexed to an extended hip position. It almost mimicks a single leg squat.

thanks for the video. How high should the step be? I am thinking of buying a strong storage box of 30cm high. I am petite and live in a small space. TIA

Nice, concise instructions. I don't know that I'd call it "brilliant, " exactly, but it was helpful and appreciated. Thumbed up.

So many videos say a little lean forward loads the glute more and is perfectly fine. You’ve said the opposite, now I’m super confused

Thank you! I always had problems with weak core and related injuries on knee and hip, then suffered from weak legs as a consequence.
It helps a lot to get professional help from rehab physio exercises and watch your video

Thanks for the excellent vid! For a person over 65 trying to gain leg strength, how does this compare with a leg press machine?...and is it good to do both? Thanks!
