I introduced step-ups to my leg sessions because I feel they puit lesss train on the lower back and the kness while emphasazing the quads and the hamstrings

Sorry if I gave your the wrong impression, it didnt cause my pain, I tried to do these instead of Lunges, but they still bother my knee to much, I really fucked my knee up a couple months ago, so I am still trying to find things I can do, till I can get it fixed!!! I am sure your right though that it puts less strain on lower back and knees than other exercises

I like the sound of them, but I don't think anything is going to beat heavy ATF squats coupled with good mornings.

they are good for athletes that require single leg coordination and good ankle stabilization. I like them, i dont do them regularly, but implemented them for a time just to build up single leg balance and also even out muscle imbalance.
