Band Assisted Box Step Ups

Loop a long-loop or pullup band through itself over a pullup bar or some sort of beam that is in a horizontal overhead position. Place a bench or box about a foot and a half away from the origin of the band. Hold onto both sides of the band making sure to take as much slack as you need in order to assist you when performing these. Pick one leg and step your whole foot on the bench. Lean forward slightly trying to load the elevated foot as much as possible before pushing through the working leg until you are standing up on top of the bench. The whole point of the band is to give you just enough assistance where you can do these without using the straight leg for help. Perform the desired reps before switching sides. If you need more assistance, feel free to use two bands (one for each arm) or a thicker band and lower bench/box alternative.
