Execution
How to do it
Stand facing a box with a barbell resting on your upper back and your feet hip-width apart.
Step up onto the box with one foot, driving through the heel and extending your leg to lift your body up.
As you rise, bring the opposite knee up until your thigh is parallel to the ground, balancing momentarily at the top.
Lower the raised leg back down with control, then step off the box to return to the starting position.
Form tips
Focus your eyes forward to help maintain balance.
Step up with control, not momentum, to properly engage your muscles.
Push through the heel of your leading foot, not the toes.
