Key Points

    • Hold it close to the chest with elbows pointing down

• • Step-Up Form Remains the Same:

    • Keep one foot on the box throughout the set

    • Push through heel and midfoot to step up

    • Maintain a tall chest and control the lowering phase

• • Practical and Accessible:

    • Ideal for gyms or home setups without barbells

    • Just as effective for building single-leg and lower body strength

   

• • Why It Matters for Golfers:

    • A safer, more accessible way to develop strength for better power and stability in the swing
