step ups.. awesome exercise and not done nearly enough.. olypic lifters use it as a suplement exercise.. i get great pumps from it and feel it better than the leg press..

I agree with lats. Step ups are awesome. Just hang on to some dumbells and they will trash your legs. Also stationary lunges done one leg at a time will give the quads and hams a good thrashing as well.

How high do you prefer the step-ups be done?

I have a custom made steel platform that sits about 350mm off the floor, or about the height of two and a half stairs. Gets you working hard! I also use this for bent over rows and such.

Just wondering if a platform on say the inline press would be suffice. where the spotter stands.

Yea that should work, you just have to watch your shins as you go up and down!!

Walking lunges..... A box about 18 inchs will work for a while for the step ups then would want to go to about 20-22" Well depending on how tall you are.

YEAH.. USE THE SPOTTERS PLATFORM ON THE INCLINE YOU HAVE AT THE GYM.. HONESTLY.. WHEN DONE RIGHT IT IS ONE OF THE BEST QUAD DEVELOPERS KNOWN..

one leg squats on the smith machince, this is a great change up for me

the step ups are the shit too, working the legs unilaterally with a compound movement will almost gaurentee growth!

Walking lunges, Ronnie style.
