Does Anyone Do Weighted Step Ups???

[Texas Ranger]

Does anyone do weighted Step Ups for legs? I heard they were pretty effective for hitting both the quads & hamstrings.

I did these tonight at the end of my leg workout...due to an injury I was unable to work legs for awhile and do back squats so I was able to do these with no pain...

The actual cardiovascular exertion was harder for me than the weights themselves..

Anyone else use these in their training program?

What exactly are they?

I think like step aerobics but holding heavy dumbbells in your hands
?

you could do a step up onto a box with a barbell loaded like a backsquat. it's definately tough.
