    I've generally heard these referred to as Reverse Step-Ups or as Step-Downs.
    The Conventional Step-Up is another good exercise. Besides strengthening knee and hip extension it can be used to progress hip mobility.

    Great explanation Graham! When I was 15 in 1979 I started doing bodyweight stuff to help my athletics I had read about doing reverse step ups in a T&F magazine and since I had a low couch in my bedroom I started doing them. Crazy first leg exercise I know and I did it just like the Peterson variant. After some weeks I remember feeling so good just walking around and at the regional schools athletics carnival I long jumped a massive PR of 6.40 m that was the area record for a good while. So I always remember that very first resistance training block and its effect! I started actual weights in 1982 and 2022 I am still in the gym every week & watching vids like these to stay health to keep attacking the weights.

    I spent many years working on step ups, and I came to a slighty different conclusion, because my sport had shifted from fencing (decades ago) to power lifting. As a fencer, I found ankle range of motion a big deal - but that was almost fifty years ago. When I shifted to power lifting, I found ankle stability and strength more important. So I did a lot of step-ups onto an inverted bosu. Here, the bosu reduces the range of motion needed, but recruits even more stability. I went through a progression to where the most challenging version was overhead barbell (about 60% bodyweight). Overhead dumbell (asymmetric) would have been the next level but I didn't get there.
    One of the things I have always tended toward was restricting the range of motion in loaded exercises, since studies (even from decades ago) show that the range of motion which is strengthened is wider than the range of motion which is trained. So yes, if I was going to make cuts as a football player on wet grass, I would train the widest possible range of motion. But since my current exposure is lifting, cycling, and daily life, I feel better off with the slightly lower range of motion.
    So when I put my foot down, it goes where I say it goes and it stays there. I don't know if it's helped my ankle health though, since I haven't had an ankle problem other than bursitis - which was overuse caused by fencing footwork, which I no longer do. So I suppose I have avoided every ankle injury, but on the other hand, I'm not sure my risk of ankle injury is that high.
    On the other hand, loaded step ups on the inverted bosu give me a lot more confidence against the risk of falling down.

    @emielregiss 3 года назад

    What an excellent and comprehensive explanation!
    Perhaps you might know also this - why in all these step up variations we should stop the descent (eccentric phase) with the other leg instead of the leg we are training (using the VMO eccentrically)?
    I think it would additionally strengthen the VMO, so perhaps the reason is related to the safety of the knee somehow.

    • @thebarefootsprinter
      @thebarefootsprinter  3 года назад

      There are no clear cut rules with this! You can play around with either option - either doing only eccentrically or with the opposite side. For example, just having a higher step that forces you to control in space would be a good idea. I like that a lot actually. Definitely some options to play with here. I suppose the biggest benefit of a clear stop of the non-working leg would be a consistent end point

    • @emielregiss
      @emielregiss 3 года назад

      @@thebarefootsprinter Thank you for your answer. This is very good news. Previously I was afraid that the reason is that the eccentric phase (and especially reversing the motion) might put too much pressure on the knee and cause some patellofemoral issues (instead of healing them).

    So for clarification, the Patrick is the best to start with, even for VMO targeting? I'm currently in PT rebuilding my patella. I had tendonopathy for a while and then had a tenex procedure to break up the thickening/scar tissue. Not the tendon is way less stiff. It is still slightly tracking laterally, and because of the this the PT wants me to focus on strengthening the VMO. They've been having me do a 4" step over exercise that's basically reminding me of the 3rd step up variation you go over in this video, but I'm not noticing a major stimulus on the muscles.

    • @thebarefootsprinter

    • @thebarefootsprinter
      @thebarefootsprinter  3 года назад +1

      Assuming you have requisite strength in the foot/ankle and knee then it's the most effective. The only problem is that you have to manage the balance, which can be an arbitrary limitation on how much strength you can develop in the movement. So if you can do more load through the poliquin, then that may be the most effective for you, but it all depends on which works best for you!

    Just my analytical brain working here
    Anyone know how far a persons knee can go forward over their toes while the heel is flat on the floor . Like a measurement in inches?
    Maybe everyone is different but guessing the maybe be a rough average
    Let’s just say hypothetically it was 10 inches (I dunno I’m just making this up ) then I could put an object 10 inches from my knee , knowing that when my knee hits that object (one day in the future) then I’ve reached close to the max
    Or I like the idea of being say one inch away from the object and work at hitting that , then work on 2 inches away , then 3. You could stand in a doorway sideways so that one of your legs can extend forward and your knee will hit the doorpost. To me I like that idea as the focus is on the knee going forward and it’s easy to measure and see visually your progress
    With the Patrick step it seems like there a lot to get distracted with as your focus is on your foot out with your toes up and touching your heel gently and balancing and maybe using a stick for support etc. your not really thinking about or focusing on your knee going forward
    Why not stand on a 6inch block in a doorway and position your knee so it’s an inch or two away or whatever range your comfortable in and simply let the knee go forward until it hits the doorpost. The other leg that’s not standing on the block but just hovering in mid air would just drop straight down a distance without touching the floor as the knee moves forward towards the doorpost. So no need for extending the leg forward and heel tapping the floor and leaning back etc . To me that’s much simpler
    But then what do I know ! Maybe I’m missing something here , maybe there is a purpose or need for the leg to go forward and the heel to tap the ground 🤔
    I just bought knee ability zero and was reading and thinking about it tonight and studying the pictures.

      @@thebarefootsprinter is the lifting of the leg off the ground out in front so that all the load and bodyweight is going on the leg with the bent knee?
      If so then would it matter where the floating leg goes ? Could it be out in front or to the side or wherever ?

      Regress to the lowest level step up you can do pain free for reps and then work your way up to the Peterson or Ziani step up.

    What is the difference between a Peterson step and a sissy squat?

      Peterson step is easier to do volume with, and can be a regression.

      You start with rebuilding the feet and working your way up the chain, and then soon you’ll have neither weak knees nor bad ankle mobility 🤷🏻‍♂️

    In the title of your video, shouldn't it be called, "Step Down...", and not "Step Up..."?
