Coaching videos

Lateral Step Ups are NOT about “going laterally”! ❌ Stepping directly to the side causes your knee to lurch forward and doesn’t put you in a strong position. ✅ Stand to the side, but by the BACK of the bench and step “forward and to the side”! This creates a stronger position for your leg to step up with - allowing you to load up heavy and make some serious leg gains! 💪 Try this when you do your lateral step ups!! Now, do it!
